The disappearance and the fall of Dr. Cherinos.
The last call.
Roxanna's last conversation with her mother was short, tense, and ended with a knot in Anna Teresa's stomach.
When asked directly why she kept seeing Chorinos, Roxanna dodged the question.
She only repeated that she had an appointment with him, and then added something that chilled her mom.
He asked me not to tell anyone.
It was 7 p.m. on Sunday, July 12, 2008.
After leaving the shopping mall, she made her way to the doctor's office.
That moment, her walking out of the mall, was the last time anyone ever saw her alive.
Silence at night
As the evening stretched into night, Roxanna didn't come home.
At first, her sister Mariana thought maybe she was just out later than expected.
But when hours passed with no messages, no calls, and no footsteps at the door, worry started to
creep in. By midnight, that worry had turned into panic. Mariana tried calling her again and again.
Nothing. She then called her mom, Anna Teresa, who immediately felt her heart sink. Her first thought
was Cherinos. He was the only person Roxana had mentioned seeing. That same night, Anna Teresa
called the psychiatrist. She demanded to know if Roxanna was with him.
Calmly, almost too calmly, Chorinos denied everything.
He said he hadn't seen her in months.
He insisted there was no connection between them anymore.
But Anna Teresa knew her daughter.
She knew Roxanna wouldn't have lied about her plans just hours earlier.
His denial didn't feel like a misunderstanding, it felt like a lie.
And in her gut, she already feared the worst.
The search begins.
The next morning, Monday, July 13th, Anna Teresa rushed to Caracas.
By then, Mariana, their uncles and several close friends had already started searching
frantically.
They went to hospitals, asked at police stations, and even checked the morgues, though each
time they prayed they wouldn't find her there.
Hours of searching turned into a blur of unanswered questions.
No one had seen her.
No one knew where she'd gone.
No one had answers.
When Anna Teresa arrived in the Capitol, she didn't waste a second.
She went straight to the authorities and filed a formal report of Roxana's disappearance.
She didn't hold back either, she directly accused Dr. Edmundo Chorinos of being involved.
The detectives on duty took her statement.
And while they listened carefully, some were skeptical.
Chorinos wasn't just any man, he was a respected psychiatrist, a public figure, someone with a spotless image.
But they still noted her words and opened the case.
The Grim Discovery
The following day, while the family continued their desperate search, they received news that made their blood run cold.
A body had been brought to the morgue that resembled Roxanna.
No one wanted to believe it.
They rushed over, clinging to hope that it was just a mistake.
But when they saw her, all hope collapsed.
The body was badly injured, her face disfigured by wounds that made her hard to recognize.
Still, there was no denying it, it was Roxanna.
She had been found by workers in a remote, sparsely populated area outside the city.
She was half-dressed, wearing only underwear.
her dignity stripped along with her life.
The official autopsy revealed the cause of death, cranioencephalic trauma, essentially a fatal blow to the head.
On top of that, her body showed at least seven fractures, inflicted while she was still alive.
The brutality of it shattered her family.
Their sweet, ambitious 19-year-old girl was gone, and gone in the most violent, degrading way imaginable.
Investigators zero in.
From that moment on, detectives focused all their energy on the case.
And though Chorinos carried the polished image of a respected intellectual, Anna Teresa's testimony weighed heavily.
She had pointed at him from the start.
At first glance, it seemed unthinkable.
How could a 74-year-old man, a doctor with decades of reputation, be linked to such a crime?
But as investigators dug deeper, the façade started to crack.
I've been thinking we need to talk to him about.
He might not listen to me.
But yeah, as good a time as any.

What Chirinos didn't realize was that Roxanna herself had already left behind a trail of evidence.
Roxanna's blog and diary.
Roxanna wasn't silent about her experiences.
She had written extensively, both online and privately, about her relationship with Chirinos.
On her personal blog, she described intimate encounters, sometimes in detail too uncomfortable to read.
She even mentioned things she had seen him do to other women while she was present.
Beyond the blog, she kept a handwritten diary.
Page after page captured her thoughts, her emotions, and her growing disillusionment with the
man she once considered a mentor.
In her own handwriting, she admitted the contradictions, the attachment she felt, the disgust that
haunted her, and the confusion of being both victim and participant in something she never
truly chose.
Those writings became a goldmine for investigators.
They weren't just teenage ramblings, they were firsthand testimony.
The raid on Chorino's office.
With a court order in hand, detectives raided Chorino's office.
The search was meticulous, and what they found left no room for doubt.
Bloodstains, hidden traces later confirmed to belong to Roxanna.
A single earring, immediately identified by Mariana as her sisters.
The other matching earring had been found on Roxanna's body.
Those two pieces of evidence alone painted a chilling picture.
Roxanna had been in that office the night she disappeared, and violence had taken place there.
The shocking discoveries at his home.
But the true horror surfaced when police extended the search to Cherinos' residence.
For a man who had spent decades cultivating the image of a serious, trustworthy professional,
what they uncovered was beyond disturbing.
Inside his home, investigators found 12 photographs and four videos of women in compromising situations.
Most appeared to be his patients, captured either naked or in lingerie.
Many of them looked sedated, unconscious, or in vulnerable states.
Some images showed women smiling, perhaps.
unawares unaware of the violation. Others were clearly defenseless, asleep or drugged,
their dignity stolen without consent. Among those files were three photographs of Roxanna herself,
stored inside a folder that also contained parts of her medical records and personal letters.
The letters revealed a complicated dynamic, Roxana writing about love, disappointment,
and unmet promises. Some passages expressed longing for his affection,
others hinted at her frustration when he was cold or distant.
The evidence destroyed the carefully built myth of Dr. Chorinos as a respected elder statesman.
Instead, it revealed him as a predator hiding in plain sight.
More evidence in his car.
Detectives didn't stop at his office and home.
They also examined his car.
Although it had been meticulously cleaned, modern forensic tools told another story.
Using luminal, investigators detected traces of blood in the vehicle.
Step by step, the pieces were falling into place.
The case explodes in the media.
Despite attempts by authorities to keep the investigation discrete, the case blew up in the press almost immediately.
Newspapers splashed headlines about the shocking connection between a murdered university student and a prestigious psychiatrist.
TV channels ran special reports, piecing together the fragments of Roxanne.

...as life and her dangerous entanglement with Cherinos.
Public opinion split in two, some were horrified but not surprised, whispering that they had always suspected something dark behind his perfect facade.
Others refused to believe it, insisting a man of his stature couldn't be guilty of such a monstrous act.
But the evidence was piling too high, and denial was becoming harder by the day.
