Starting point is 00:00:00 The night everything changed. The security cameras in the apartment building had no idea they were about to capture the last moments of a woman's life. On October 8, 2023, around 6.44 in the evening, the footage showed Gloria and Raphael stepping into the elevator together. At that exact moment, nothing seemed out of the ordinary. They looked like any other couple in love. Raphael leaned in, kissed her, and wrapped his arm around her shoulder. Gloria smiled, leaning into him as though everything was normal. For anyone watching that short clip, the two looked perfectly happy.
Starting point is 00:00:40 The cameras followed them again later, this time leaving the building hand in hand, still looking like a couple living out their fairy tale. From the outside, it was the picture of love, two people, deeply in sync, sharing their lives. But then, just an hour later, something shifted. shifted. When the pair returned to the building, their demeanor was different, so different it was impossible not to notice. The romance was gone. Instead of holding hands, they walked apart, keeping a deliberate distance between them. Gloria's face was tight, as though she was angry or hurt. Raphael didn't look interested in her at all. The man who just an hour earlier had been showering his wife with kisses now walked ahead, his body language cold
Starting point is 00:01:28 and detached. And then came the messages. At exactly 8.29 p.m., Gloria sent her brother a disturbing voice note and a few messages. Her words were chilling, Meiji, help me. Mejai, it's going to happen again. Help me. Her brother froze when he heard it. He knew his sister two ways.
Starting point is 00:01:53 to brush something like that off. He felt his stomach drop. Whatever was happening, it wasn't good. He didn't hesitate, he immediately called their father, Miguel, to ask if he knew what was going on. But Miguel was out of town and completely in the dark. He had no idea anything was wrong. Still worried sick, Gloria's brother reached out to their mother. He told her everything, the note, the tone of panic in Gloria's voice. Their mom didn't waste a second. She grabbed her keys and rushed to the apartment building. When she arrived, the first person she saw was Raphael. He looked worried, pacing around as though he were also searching for answers. He told her he hadn't seen Gloria in a while, that she wasn't answering her
Starting point is 00:02:45 phone, and that he was just as concerned. He played the role of the worried husband well, insisting he didn't know where she could have gone. Together, Gloria's mother and Raphael tried calling her phone over and over, but there was no answer. Her mom's heart sank deeper with every unanswered ring. Something inside her screamed that her daughter was in serious danger. The search began. They checked around the building, looking for any trace of her. Then, at 10.30 p.m., the nightmare became reality. Gloria's family stumbled upon a scene they would never be able to erase from their minds. There, lying motionless on the ground near one side of the building, was Gloria's body.
Starting point is 00:03:32 She was gone. The shock was paralyzing. Her mother's screams pierced the night, echoing through the quiet streets. Her brother collapsed in disbelief. authorities were notified immediately police arrived sealed off the area and began documenting the scene when they removed gloria's body the first working theory spread fast she had jumped according to investigators the evidence suggested that gloria had thrown herself from the eighth floor of the building in an act of suicide and raphael well he seemed to agree with this explanation he pushed the idea forward acting as though it was the only logical explanation. He cried, yes, but also repeated the suicide theory to anyone who would listen,
Starting point is 00:04:24 trying to convince her family it was true. But Gloria's family wasn't buying it. Not for a second. Yes, they were in shock. Yes, they were drowning in grief. But they knew Gloria better than anyone. She had no reason to end her life. She had just been thriving professionally.
Starting point is 00:04:48 She was planning to buy an apartment. She dreamed of becoming a mother. She had told her father he would soon be a grandfather. This wasn't a woman on the edge of giving up. This was a woman in the prime of her life. Her family refused to accept that she had taken her own life. Still, at first, they were forced to wait. Investigators carried out the standard forensic analysis.
Starting point is 00:05:15 but when the results came back, not many details were made public. Rumors later spread that the official report placed the time of death at around 9 p.m. and confirmed that Gloria had died from multiple traumatic injuries consistent with a fall. At her funeral, Raphael played the role of the grieving widower. He cried loudly. He yelled out in pain. He hugged people tightly, saying he had lost the love of his life. to outsiders he looked like a broken man people whispered that he would never recover from such a tragedy but not everyone was fooled
Starting point is 00:05:54 glorious family kept their doubts alive they pushed the authorities to dig deeper to look past the simple explanation they wanted the case reopened their persistence eventually paid off once the investigation was reopened things started to unravel. The initial suicide theory crumbled under new evidence. The cameras, the same ones that had captured Gloria and Raphael's last affectionate moments, held more footage, that painted a very different picture. Around the time Gloria's death was estimated, Raphael was caught on camera entering the elevator alone. He wasn't frantic or panicked. Instead, he calmly stood there, fixing his hair in the mirror, checking his full, phone like nothing was wrong. His demeanor was casual, almost carefree. Minutes later, the cameras showed him walking toward the side of the building, the very
Starting point is 00:06:54 spot where Gloria's body was eventually found. Detectives dug further. Neighbors were interviewed and several reported hearing heated arguments from the couple's apartment earlier that evening. Piece by piece, the puzzle started coming together. Something else made in investigators pause. For a man who had supposedly lost his wife in a shocking, tragic accident, Raphael didn't seem too broken up. In fact, just days after Gloria's death, he was back performing in nightclubs and bars as if nothing had happened. He wasn't hiding away or mourning in silence. He wasn't acting like a man whose world had been shattered. This infuriated glorious family. To them, it was proof that Raphael didn't care, that maybe he never had.
Starting point is 00:07:46 How could someone who had shared over 13 years with their daughter, someone who was practically part of their family, move on so quickly? The investigators now had enough red flags to abandon the suicide theory completely. Instead, they began forming a new hypothesis, one that would shock everyone and expose the truth about what really happened on that October night. the case was no longer about a woman who had chosen to end her life it was about uncovering the possibility that someone else had chosen it for her to be continued
