10-minute murder contains depictions of actual crimes. What you are about to hear is real and

violent in nature. Discretion is advised. This is 10-minute murder. Welcome to the brief and

bingeable true crime podcast, 10-minute murder. I'm Joe, and thanks for being here.

Spooky season continues today with Pablo Vasquez, the Texas vampire. I know there are some

cultures that drink blood or use it in cooking recipes, but if you do that, remind me to never

accept an invitation to eat anything you make ever.

Thanks.

I was watching an episode of Bizarre Foods when the host drank a cup of blood mixed with milk.

And I don't remember where they were, but it was just the norm for their area.

And I get it.

And I realize it's a little bit weird, but I don't even

drink milk. So if you're thinking I'd even take a quick sip of that, you're fully wrong.

Before we get into the details of the case today, let me remind you to make sure you are subscribed

and they'll automatically come to you.

Also, if you enjoy the podcast

and have friends that are also into true crime,

let them know about 10-minute murder.

That's a big help for me, and I really appreciate it.

Now, Pablo Vasquez, the Texas vampire.

On April 19, 1998, in Donna, Texas, Texas, a 12-year-old boy named David Cardenas went missing.

He was last seen at the Caesar's drive-in.
