Summary

Episode 158 Marcos Perez and Nick Ortega 

On June 3rd, 2023, avid outdoorsman Marcos Perez and his best friend Nick Ortega were tragically killed at a house party in Albuquerque, New Mexico, following a peaceful day of fishing in the Jemez mountains. Despite over a year passing since the incident, there have been no arrests or clear answers. Eric Carter Landin speaks with the boys' mothers, Vanessa and Danielle, who share the young men's vibrant lives and the aftermath of their senseless deaths. The mothers recount their sons' close bond, the chaos of the night, and the struggle for justice. They urge the community to come forward with any information and highlight the systemic issues within local law enforcement and legislation. The episode emphasizes the devastating impact on the families and the need for ongoing support and awareness to ensure that Marcos and Nick are not forgotten.
