Chapter 13 - THE FINAL RECORDING

The coffin had been seized before the planned cremation. Beneath the white pillow, investigators found a second memory card sealed inside wax.
The recording showed the night of the attack.
Camila confronted Rodrigo inside the vineyard clinic. He admitted stealing from the company and using delivery routes for illegal adoptions. When she threatened to call Julián, he grabbed her. She tore the button from his jacket and scratched his neck.
Teresa entered moments later.
She did not stop him.
Instead, she told the staff to prepare a false death certificate.
The video also captured police chief Salazar accepting an envelope and ordering officers to erase the emergency call.
The evidence spread across every major news channel within hours.
Judges resigned. Officers were suspended. Bank accounts were frozen. Families began calling investigators about missing children.
At the hospital, Teresa survived surgery and requested to confess on camera.
“I thought money could clean anything,” she said. “All it did was make the stain larger.”
Rodrigo was charged with attempted murder, kidnapping, trafficking, fraud, and conspiracy. He continued insisting Julián had framed him.
Then prosecutors revealed the torn navy button, the blood under Camila's nails, and the live ransom recording.
His smile disappeared.
But the case was not finished.
One child rescued from the tunnels carried a bracelet engraved with the initials J.A.
Julián turned it over.
On the back was a date from twenty-eight years earlier.
