Starting point is 00:00:00 The chilling discovery in Ali Suarez's apartment. When the young doctor, Ali Hassel Suarez-Raez, didn't show up for work again that day, her co-workers knew something was really wrong. She wasn't the kind of person to vanish without a word. Ali was dependable to the core, punctual, organized, the first to clock in and the last to complain. So, when she missed not one but two shifts in a row, panic started to spread across the hospital like wildfire, That afternoon, a few of her coworkers from the night shift decided they couldn't sit still anymore.
Starting point is 00:00:37 They'd spent the entire day calling her, messaging her, even trying to contact her family, but nobody had heard a thing. So, once their shift ended, they hopped in a car and drove to her apartment, hoping for the best but fearing the worst. It was around 3.30 in the afternoon when they arrived at the small complex in Colonia Guamidas, a quiet residential area where Ali lived alone. The street was calm, the kind of silence that usually feels peaceful, but that day, it felt heavy. They climbed the steps to her door, hearts pounding, and started knocking.
Starting point is 00:01:14 Ali, one of them called out. No answer. They knocked again, louder this time, calling her name like maybe she just overslept or fainted inside. But there was only silence. Not even the faint hum of a TV, not a sound from the other side. One of them crouched down, trying to peek through the crack of the door. Another pressed her ear against it. Nothing. They exchanged anxious looks. Something didn't feel right. Maybe she was sick, they thought. Maybe she was too weak to move. That was the only hopeful explanation left. They decided to push the door, just to check. And that's when the first shock hit them. It wasn't locked. The door creaked open
Starting point is 00:02:05 easily. They hesitated for a second, standing frozen on the threshold. Nobody wanted to believe what their instincts were already screaming. Finally, one of them stepped inside. The air was still. The place smelled faintly of perfume mixed with something else, something metallic, sharp, almost suffocating. They began moving through the rooms, calling her name again and again. Ali. Are you here? No answer. The living room looked normal, nothing broken, no signs of a break-in. Her keys and purse were on the table. The kitchen was spotless, as always. But as they moved closer to the bedroom, something felt off. There was this strange quiet, a kind of tension hanging in the air that made every step heavier.
Starting point is 00:03:02 When they pushed open the door to her room, what they saw made their blood run cold. Right there, on her neatly made bed, was a large suitcase. At first glance, it seemed out of place, like someone was about to go on a trip. But there were dark stains on the sheets, stains that looked disturbingly like blood. One of them gasped. Another covered her mouth, shaking. No one dared move closer at first. But curiosity and fear pushed them forward.
Starting point is 00:03:36 One of her co-workers slowly unzipped the suitcase. Inside was the lifeless body of Dr. Ali Hasselswarez. For a few seconds, everything froze. Nobody screamed. Nobody moved. It was as if time itself had stopped. The reality of what they were seeing didn't register right away. It couldn't be real.
Starting point is 00:04:03 The brilliant young doctor who had dedicated her life to saving others couldn't be lying there like that. When the shock finally broke, one of them grabbed her phone with trembling hands and dialed the emergency number. Her voice cracked as she tried to explain what they had found. Please, send someone. Our co-worker, she's here, she's dead. Within minutes, the call reached the Attorney General's office of Baja California, sir.
Starting point is 00:04:34 According to the official report, the alert came in around 3.50 p.m. on September 18, 2023. The message was clear and urgent. A young woman had been found lifeless inside her apartment in the Guamida's neighborhood. When municipal police officers arrived, the building was already surrounded by a shocked neighbors. The co-workers stood outside, pale, crying, unable to process what they just witnessed. The officers entered the apartment, confirmed the scene, and immediately notified the public ministry so that a full investigation could begin. From the first glance, there was no
Starting point is 00:05:11 doubt, this was a violent death. The condition of Ali's body made it clear that she had been brutally attacked. There were visible bruises and marks across her arms and neck. It was obvious she had fought back, that she had tried to defend herself with everything she had. But whoever attacked her had been merciless. Forensic photographers moved quietly through the apartment, documenting every inch, the bed, the floor, the suitcase, the stains, the overturned chair near the corner. Every detail could matter.
Starting point is 00:05:47 Once they finished, the medical team carefully transported her body to the forensic medical service, where the autopsy would reveal the horrifying truth. The preliminary results were devastating. Ali had been sexually assaulted, and after that, her attacker had killed her by mechanical asphyxiation, in other words, he'd strangled her with such force that she couldn't breathe. The report indicated bruising consistent with manual pressure on her neck. The brutality was undeniable. Back at the scene, another team of investigators began combing through.
Starting point is 00:06:23 the apartment for evidence. They collected fingerprints, hair fibers, skin cells, anything that could lead them to the person responsible. They examined the doors and windows, expecting to find signs of forced entry. But to their surprise, everything was intact. There were no broken locks, no forced doors, no smashed windows. That detail changed everything. If the door hadn't been forced, it meant Ollie had let her attack her in willingly. And that pointed to something far worse, it wasn't a random assault. It was personal. As detectives started interviewing her family, friends, and co-workers, a new picture began to form. They learned that Ollie had recently started seeing someone, a young man she'd met a few weeks earlier. It wasn't anything
Starting point is 00:07:17 official yet, but they had gone out several times. Naturally, investigators had to consider the possibility of a crime of passion. When the man was brought in for questioning, he looked nervous but cooperative. He said he was devastated to hear what happened and insisted he hadn't seen her for a few days. Detectives, of course, didn't take anything at face value. They checked his alibi, his phone records, and surveillance cameras around his house and workplace. After carefully reviewing everything, they realized he couldn't have been at the crime scene during the time of Ali's death. So, he was ruled out. That left them with a chilling problem.
Starting point is 00:08:02 If it wasn't him, then who was it? The investigators went back to the evidence. One of the first things they noticed missing from the apartment was Ali's cell phone. That was strange because her bag and car keys were still there. Her laptop, too. Only the phone had vanished. That, combined with the missing car, gave them something to trace. They decided to check the surveillance cameras near her apartment complex.
Starting point is 00:08:33 The footage was grainy, but one clip made everyone's heart skip a beat. In the early hours of the morning, a man with long hair, dressed entirely in black, was seen walking toward Ali's building. His clothes looked messy, and his movement seemed anxious, hurried. Later, another camera captured him driving away in Ali's car. That was their first solid lead. At that point, they were dealing with at least two crimes, the murder of Ali and the theft of her vehicle.
Starting point is 00:09:06 But there was something else that made investigators' stomach's twist, based on the autopsy, the time of death occurred before the car was stolen. That meant the man driving her car wasn't just a thief, he was the killer. Using city traffic cameras, they began tracking the route the stolen car took. The system allowed them to piece together the vehicle's movements across different parts of San Jose del Cabo. The car was seen heading toward a shopping center, where the driver parked and got out. Cameras inside the mall then captured him walking toward an ATM machine. There, under the bright security lights, he inserted a card into the ATM, Ali's debit card.
Starting point is 00:09:50 Investigators quickly pulled the bank records to confirm it. The transaction logs showed a withdrawal from Ali's account around the same time the footage was captured. It wasn't a huge amount of money, but it was enough to confirm what they already suspected. Before killing her, the attacker had forced her to give up her bank pin number. That realization added another layer of horror. It meant she'd been alive, terrified, when he demanded her code. It also meant he'd planned to rob her all along. After withdrawing the cache, the man calmly walked back to the parking lot.
Starting point is 00:10:28 But instead of getting back into Ali's car, he grabbed a few objects from the passenger seat, locked the doors, and walked away on foot, disappearing into the streets. He didn't even bother to cover his face. That mistake would be his downfall. The ATM surveillance system had captured him perfectly, his face, his hair, his clothes, even the tattoos on his forearm. When detectives saw the footage, they immediately knew this was their suspect. The image was so clear that within hours, they were able to identify him. The man was 24 years old, unemployed, and known to local authorities for petty theft.
Starting point is 00:11:11 He lived only a few blocks away from Ali's apartment. Neighbors described him as a drifter, quiet but odd, the kind of person who hung around the area without really belonging anywhere. As police dug deeper, they discovered he had once worked as an orderly at the same hospital where Ali worked, a former co-worker she might have recognized. That explained why she might have opened the door for him without hesitation. Investigators now had enough to issue an arrest warrant. They raided the suspects home early one morning and found several incriminating items,
Starting point is 00:11:47 Ali's phone, her wallet, and some of her personal belongings hidden in a drawer. DNA tests later confirmed that the traces found under Ali's nails matched his genetic profile. The evidence was overwhelming. When they finally confronted him with the proof, he broke down. His confession was messy, fragmented, but it painted a horrifying picture. He claimed he had gone to her apartment asking for money. When she refused, an argument broke out. He lost control, assaulted her, and when she tried to fight back, he strangled her.
Starting point is 00:12:25 Afterward, he panicked. He packed her body into the suitcase, stole her car, withdrew money from her account. count, and ran. Listening to that confession left even the seasoned officers speechless. It was the kind of cruelty that's hard to process, especially when the victim was someone who had spent her life caring for others. The news spread through the hospital like wildfire. Her co-workers, the same people who'd found her body, could barely return to work.
Starting point is 00:12:56 Some took leaves of absence. The memory of that afternoon haunted them. They couldn't forget the smell of the apartment, the image of that suitcase, the silence that followed the discovery. Ali's mother, Veronica, collapsed when she heard the official confirmation. In interviews, her voice trembled as she spoke about her daughter. She was supposed to heal people, she said. She wanted to make a difference.
Starting point is 00:13:24 And this is how the world repaid her. The community of San Jose del Cabo came together in grief. Vigils were held outside the hospital where Ali had worked. Hundreds of candles lit up the night, flickering against the white walls. Colleagues and patients alike left flowers, photographs, and notes. Thank you, Dr. Ali. You helped my mother when no one else would. We will never forget you.
Starting point is 00:13:54 For a moment, the city stood still, united by outrage, heartbreak, and disbelief. As the trial began, more details of the case emerged. The killer's past came to light, a history of unstable behavior, substance abuse, and moments of violence. He had been fired from the hospital months earlier for misconduct. That might have been when his resentment began to grow. During the proceedings, prosecutors presented all the forensic evidence, the DNA, the security footage, the ATM withdrawal, the stolen belongings. There was no room for doubt. The jury found him guilty of aggravated homicide, sexual assault, and robbery.
Starting point is 00:14:41 He was sentenced to life in prison. But justice, as complete as it seemed, could never fill the emptiness left behind. Ali's family would never hear her laugh again, never see her walk through their front door with her warm smile and her stories from the hospital. In her honor, the hospital created a hospital. memorial plaque near the main entrance. In memory of Dr. Ali Hasselswarez Reyes, for her compassion, her service, and her light. Her colleagues still talk about her in present tense. Ali is with us, one nurse said during the memorial.
Starting point is 00:15:21 Every time we treat a patient with kindness, she's here. Her story became a painful reminder across Baja California of how fragile life can be, and how violence can shatter even the brightest futures in the quietest of places. People often say that time heals everything, but for those who knew Ollie, time only made the absence sharper. Still, through their grief, they chose to remember her not for the horror of her death but for the beauty of her life, the laughter, the music, the long shifts filled with care and hope. Because even though her life was taken brutally, her legacy still heals. To be continued.
