Dear listener, just a warning that this episode is going to be dealing with graphic references about violence against women.

It was May of 2017, and Araseli Osorio had arranged to meet up with her daughter, 22-year-old, Lesby Berlin.

They'd like to go out every Thursday, mother and daughter, to the theater or to do some kind of cultural activity.

So they had planned to meet at a subway station on the campus of the Unam,

the National Autonomous University of Mexico. Araceli worked at an elementary school on the campus,

and Lesvi lived nearby.

But a few days before they were scheduled to meet, Aracili got a message from her daughter,

asking her to meet her at her house instead.

It was strange.

Lesvi gave no reason for the change of plan.

And then, before they could meet in person, Arasili got a weird phone call.

It was a call.

It was Lesvi's best friend on the line, because she had heard that Lesvi hadn't come home the previous night.

Aracilli told the friend to calm down, to call around, and to see if her daughter was just with maybe some other friends.

The friend told Lesbys' mom there was something else she was worried about. And she is the that she said that not only are concerned because she not

appears,

but because they've encountered a body of a woman had just been found on the university's campus.

So Arasili called Jorge Luis Gonzales, who was her daughter's boyfriend that she lived with.

Jorge told Araseli over the phone that he had been with Lesby the night before and that they had been drinking, so much so that he didn't remember what else had happened.

On the phone, Jorge also told Araseli that he was worried that the body found on campus the night before might be lesbian.

The next day, Araseli and Jorge got a call from a police officer, asking them to come down to the station.

Right away at the police station, someone introduced themselves to Araseli, asking them to come down to the station.
