This is the story of Odalis Bakwata, a story that from the very beginning didn't quite make sense.
It started with a version of events that felt incomplete, awkward, and strangely convenient.
Behind that version, there was something heavier, a long chain of silences, half-truths, contradictions, and details that never lined up.
Pieces were missing, and the gaps between them were too big to ignore.
According to what was said at first, she got out of the car and walked away.
Just like that.
Supposedly, that's what happened, right?
But how do you just leave someone on the side of a highway at night?
How do you drive away and not follow them?
How does a person simply vanish in front of everyone's eyes in 2024 without leaving a trace?
Those questions still hang in the air.
And at the center of all of them is one name,
Odalis Savania Bacquiatta Kispe.
Odalis was born on May 22nd, 1996, in La Paz, Bolivia.
She was the daughter of Amabel Kispe and Alejandro Bacquiatta, and the younger sister of
Alejandro, with whom she shared a close and affectionate bond.
She grew up in a working class, middle-income household where love was not something scarce.
Her parents worked hard, but they also made sure their children grew up surrounded by values
like responsibility, empathy, solidarity, and perseverance. Education mattered in that home,
and so did respect. From an early age, Odalis stood out. She was the kind of child with long,
dark hair, curious eyes, and an expression that always seemed hopeful. Teachers described her
as attentive and disciplined, but also warm and kind. She wasn't the loudest in the room,
yet people noticed her. Friends often leaned on her for support, advice, or simply someone who would
listen without judgment. She had that natural ability to make others feel seen. She attended public
schools in La Paz, where her academic performance was consistently good. But beyond grades,
what really set her apart was her attitude. She liked organizing activities, especially those related
to helping others. School events,
small solidarity campaigns, group projects, O'Dulles was usually involved, quietly making things work
behind the scenes. At 17 years old, her life took a turn that would shape her future in unexpected
ways. She met a young man, started a relationship, and not long after, they got married. It was a decision
made early, perhaps too early, but at the time it felt right. Years later, when O'Dallis was 24, she became a
mother. Her son immediately became the center of her world. Everything she did, every plan she made,
revolved around him. Motherhood changed her priorities, but it didn't break her spirit. Even when the
relationship with her husband began to deteriorate, she never lost sight of what mattered most,
her child. Eventually, the couple separated. It wasn't easy, but they managed to maintain a cordial
relationship for the sake of their son. For Odalis, that balance was essential. Stability for her
child came before anything else. Academically, Odalis continued moving forward. After finishing high
school, she enrolled in university and studied social communication. It was a field that suited
her personality perfectly. She liked understanding people, telling stories, analyzing messages, and
connecting ideas. Those who knew her during her university years say she was focused, motivated,
and hopeful about the future. She had plans. She wanted to grow, to build something better for
herself and her son. By early 2023, Odalis' life seemed relatively stable. She was a young mother,
a professional in training, and someone who, despite challenges, kept moving forward. That's when fate,
introduced her to Joel Perez Garcia.
They met at a birthday party.
O'Dollos had been invited by a friend and wasn't expecting anything out of the ordinary.
Joel, who was 24 at the time, stood out immediately.
He was sociable, talkative, and confident.
The kind of person who knew how to enter a room and make himself noticed.
He approached O'Dalas, introduced himself, and struck up a conversation.
Nothing intense, nothing dramatic. Just small talk, laughter, casual interest.
Joel was the son of Rudy Perez and Betty Garcia. He was studying engineering and was in his
10th semester. According to what later became known, some of his relatives had connections with the
police in their country, something that would raise eyebrows much later. At the time, it didn't
seem important. He came across as charming, ambitious, and outgoing.
However, people who knew him more closely would later describe a different side.
Behind the friendly smile and easy conversation, there were signs of manipulation,
possessive behavior, jealousy, and even violent tendencies. These traits, though, were often
minimized or brushed off as exaggerations. In social settings, Joel knew how to present himself well.
And first impressions, as always, were deceiving.
That first conversation between Odalis and Joel didn't lead to anything immediate.
They went their separate ways that night.
But weeks later, they crossed paths again at another birthday party, this time hosted by a mutual friend.
Joel recognized her right away.
He reminded her of their previous encounter, joked about fate bringing them together again,
and asked for her phone number so they could stay in touch.
From that moment on, communication between them became more frequent.
Text messages turned into phone calls.
Casual conversations turned into outings.
Coffee dates, walks, shared moments.
Slowly, a bond began to form.
After several months of getting to know each other,
they decided to make their relationship official.
As their relationship progressed, it became increasingly visible on social media.
Odalis posted selfies with Joel, smiling photos, moments that looked happy and carefree.
To the outside world, they seemed like a normal couple enjoying life.
Eight months into the relationship, everything appeared stable, at least on the surface.
Then came Friday, March 29, 2024.
The country was preparing for Samana Santa, Holy Week, which meant a long weekend.
Odalis and Joel decided to take advantage of the break and planned a short trip to one of
Odalis' favorite places.
The idea was simple, attend an Afro-Bolivian festivity, relax, disconnect, and enjoy some time
together away from routine.
The next day, Saturday, March 30th, with Odalis' son staying with his father, the couple
set off on the trip. They traveled an Odalis vehicle with Joel behind the wheel.
Along the way, they stopped at a supermarket to buy food and alcoholic drinks. It was supposed to be
a celebration, after all. They reached their destination around 12.30 in the afternoon.
The day passed with hours of coexistence, music, food, drinks, and the atmosphere of festivity.
But as night approached, things began to shift.
According to Joel, they decided to return home that same night.
What happened after that moment is where the story starts to fracture.
Later that night, Joel contacted the authorities to report that O'Dollus had disappeared.
His version of events was unsettling.
He claimed that during the return trip, around 4.20 in the afternoon, they had a strong argument.
According to him, the discussion escalated quickly.
O'Dulles supposedly returned a bag to him and drove off in her own car.
Minutes later, she allegedly called him, saying she had fallen into a ditch.
Joel said he went to where she was around 5.30 p.m., helped resolve the situation, and then they
continued traveling together. But the argument didn't end. He claimed they kept fighting
along the way. Eventually, after a physical struggle, O'Dallis decided to get out of her own vehicle
around 11 p.m. in a town along the route.
Joel stated that after losing sight of her, he tried to look for her but couldn't find her.
He also mentioned that both of them had been drinking alcohol throughout the day.
As if that explained something.
As if that detail softened the situation.
At some point, Alejandro, O'Dalas' brother, tried to call her.
Her phone, however, was still inside the car.
Joel answered the call and told him that his sister was missing.
Alejandro immediately alerted the rest of the family.
And just like that, Odalis was gone.
No clear explanation.
No logical sequence.
Just a story full of holes.
Once the family received the call, everything changed.
What had started as a confusing explanation quickly turned into panic.
O'Dulles was not the kind of person who would disappear voluntarily.
She was a mother.
She had responsibilities.
She had plans.
Walking away in the middle of the night, on a road, after an argument, made absolutely
no sense to those who truly knew her.
From the very first hours after the report, the inconsistencies in Joel's story began to stand
out.
The timeline felt fragmented.
The sequence of events didn't flow naturally.
Small details kept shifting every time he spoke.
Sometimes the argument started earlier, sometimes later.
Sometimes Odalis left calmly, other times after a physical struggle.
The pieces didn't fit, and every attempt to make them fit only made the picture more disturbing.
The search for Odalis began almost immediately.
Family members, friends, volunteers,
and authorities organized efforts along the route Joel claimed they had taken.
Road sides, nearby towns, fields, ravines, every possible place where she could have been seen
or where something could have happened was checked.
Hours turned into days and days into unbearable waiting.
One of the most alarming aspects was the location Joel mentioned.
Leaving someone at night, after consuming alcohol, in an unfamiliar area, was already dangerous enough.
But there was something darker beneath that decision.
If Odalis had truly chosen to get out of the car, why didn't Joel follow her?
Why didn't he call for help immediately?
Why wait until later to notify authorities?
Joel insisted he looked for her.
Yet there were no witnesses who saw him searching desperately.
No security cameras confirmed his version.
No one reported seeing a woman walking alone that night.
It was as if O'Dulles had vanished into thin air.
As investigators dug deeper, attention inevitably turned toward Joel.
Not just because he was the last person to see her, but because his behavior raised serious concerns.
His emotional responses seemed calculated rather than genuine.
At times, he appeared calm when panic would have been expected.
At other moments, his reactions felt exaggerated, almost theatrical.
Meanwhile, Odalis family began to speak publicly.
They shared who she really was, a devoted mother, a responsible woman, someone who would never abandon her child.
They demanded answers.
They demanded action.
And above all, they demanded that O'Dales not be reduced to a vague story filled with excuses.
Social media played a crucial role.
The case spread quickly.
photos of Odalis flooded timelines. Her name became a hashtag. People across the country began asking
the same questions her family had been asking since day one. How could this happen? How could a woman
disappear in 2024 without a trace? And why did the official version feel so weak? As pressure increased,
more details about Joel began to surface. Former acquaintances described controlling be
behavior. Jealous episodes that were dismissed at the time but now seemed impossible to ignore.
Arguments that escalated quickly. A pattern that, in retrospect, painted a troubling picture.
The charming, extroverted engineering students suddenly looked very different under the harsh light of scrutiny.
Investigators examined phone records, messages, and digital footprints. O'Dullus' phone
activity stopped abruptly. No message.
sent after that night. No calls made. Nothing. Joel's phone, however, showed movements
and communications that did not fully align with his statements. Each discovery deepened the sense
that something crucial was being hidden. The vehicle O'Dulles owned also became a key piece of the
puzzle. It was examined thoroughly. Traces, marks anything that could provide insight into what
really happened during those final hours. But answers came slowly, painfully slowly. And with
every passing day, hope mixed with fear. Her son remained at the center of the family's
heartbreak. A child waiting for a mother who never came home. A future altered by uncertainty.
The family clung to the belief that O'Dalas was still out there, somewhere, but reality weighed
heavier with each sunrise.
Public demonstrations followed.
Vigils were held.
Candles lit.
Voices raised.
Odala's face became a symbol of all the women whose disappearances are explained away with
weak stories and unanswered questions.
This was no longer just about one person.
It was about accountability.
Joel continued to maintain his innocence.
He repeated his version.
despite its cracks. But repetition does not turn fiction into truth. And silence, especially
when it hides something dark, eventually begins to scream. As days turned into weeks,
the absence of Odalis became louder than any explanation given. The empty spaces in her life
spoke volumes. The unanswered calls. The unfinished plans. The life that suddenly stopped without
warning. To this day, the story of Odalis Bakwata remains wrapped in doubt. What really happened on
that road? Why did the truth fracture so easily? And how many details are still buried beneath fear,
manipulation, or deliberate silence? One thing is certain, Odalis was more than a name in a report.
She was a daughter, a sister, a friend, and above all, a mother. And her story deserved to be
answers, not excuses. Because people don't just disappear. And silence is never accidental. To be continued.
