What began as a simple trip turned into one of Spain's most shocking and horrific murder cases. Over 12 days, 5,000 people, including Gabriel’s father’s girlfriend, Ana Julia Quezada, joined the search. But no one suspected she was hiding a terrifying secret. On March 11th, Gabriel’s body was found in Ana Julia’s car. She had murdered him, buried him, and then moved his body. She was sentenced to life in prison but the story didn’t end there. Without laws to prevent criminals from profiting off their crimes, Ana Julia sold the rights to her story, sparking massive public outrage across Spain. Calls for justice and a change to the legal system spread with the slogan #TodosSomosGabriel.

Later that night, Chalino was kidnapped by alleged Police and by the morning, he’d be found dead. Chalino Sanchez was crowned the King of Corridos and is the idol of many musicians today, including Peso Pluma, who in 2023 went viral after receiving his own death note.  The message warned Peso Pluma that if he performed his upcoming concert in Tijuana, it would be his last. It had been sent by a Cartel over his song ‘El Gavilán’, that he’d made with Luis R Conriquez and Tony Aguirre. The lyrics complimented El Chapo, which enraged the cartel. But after Peso Pluma received a death note over a bad lyric, theories behind Chalino’s unsolved murder were re-ignited across the internet.  Corrido music is about love, hardship and crime. Narcocorrido is specifically about the life of narcos. Chalino Sanchez lived a crazy life full of revenge, drug trafficking, coyotes, and music. And it’s Chalino’s music that may be the reason for his early death.  Decades on Chalino’s music has millions of fans and plays on Spotify, with his image being blasted across the Coachella Mainstage in 2023 thanks to Peso Pluma.  Kids In Need Of Defence - https://supportkind.org/ Trigger Warning: drugs, addiction, murder and discussions of rape.

In 2011, BBC reporter Nawal Al-Maghafi tracked Farouk down and befriended him on Snapchat. After gaining his trust, Farouk confessed to killing Martine but claimed it was an accident resulting from rough sex gone wrong. Today, Farouk remains trapped behind his wall of wealth, privilege, and power, while Martine's family and friends are still waiting for him to be brought to justice.
