Starting point is 00:00:00 The disappearance of Marisol Alba, love, control, and a mystery that shook Peru. When Love Turns into a Prison For years, Marisal Estella Alba tried to keep her spark alive, the cheerful, lively personality that everyone loved about her. But her relationship with Luis Gennaro Estevez had chipped away at that piece by piece. By the time she hit her mid-20s, she wasn't the same woman anymore. She felt trapped. She couldn't laugh as easily, couldn't enjoy the freedom of hanging out with friends, couldn't be that playful, fun girl she had always been.
Starting point is 00:00:40 Yet somehow, despite all the pain, the manipulation, and the violence, she stayed with him. Six years. That's not just a fling, that's most of her young adulthood spent inside a relationship that drained her spirit. But eventually, even the strongest patience runs out. By the beginning of 2018, Marisol decided enough was enough. She wanted her life back. She finally ended the relationship. At least, that's what she thought.
Starting point is 00:01:14 Breaking up wasn't so simple. Here's the problem, Louise was living with her. Remember, she didn't have her own apartment, just a small rented room in a boarding house-style building. It wasn't a mansion where she could say, okay, you take the couch, I'll take the bedroom. This was one single room. So, when she told Luis it was over, he pulled the classic manipulative move, guilt and excuses. He told her he didn't want to go back to his mother's house, but also didn't have enough money to rent his own place. He painted himself as helpless, as if he had nowhere else to go.
Starting point is 00:01:53 And Marisol, being the kind soul she was, allowed him to stay, at least temporarily. She made it clear the relationship was over, that she wanted space. She thought she was setting boundaries. But with someone like Luis, boundaries meant nothing. For a man like him, who saw Marisol not as a partner but as property, the word breakup wasn't even in his vocabulary. In his mind, she was his. is forever. And he wasn't about to accept otherwise. The illusion of freedom. So even though Marisol had technically ended things, her daily life didn't really change much. Louise kept following
Starting point is 00:02:40 her patterns, showing up at her school, waiting for her after classes, asking her constantly where she was. He still demanded updates, still monitored her, still tried to stay glued to her every move. And Marisol, probably exhausted, tried to manage the situation carefully. Maybe she thought if she kept things calm, he would eventually move on. Maybe she hoped he'd get tired and leave. But men like Luis don't get tired, they escalate. What Marisol didn't know was that her own life was already taking a turn. New opportunities, new connections, and even the possibility of new love were coming her way.
Starting point is 00:03:23 And that was something Luis would never forgive. Enter Jose Wilmer. In October 2018, Fate played one of those strange tricks life sometimes throws at us. While going about her routine, Marisol ran into someone from her past, a young man named Jose Wilmer Vargas. Now, Wilmer wasn't a random stranger. Almost a decade earlier, back in 2008, Marisol had briefly dated. him. It was nothing serious, just a three-month relationship that ended in early 2009. They had been young, probably more curious than committed. After that, they went their separate ways. So when they bumped into each other in 2018, it was like a flashback. They decided to catch up. They went to a public place, grabbed a coffee, and talked. Nothing scandalous, just two old acquaintances sharing. a moment. But here's where things get tricky. Some sources say that this wasn't just a casual
Starting point is 00:04:31 encounter. Rumors started flying that Marisol and Wilmer had rekindled their romance, that they were in fact starting something serious, and even talking about a possible future together. Wilmer himself denied it. He insisted that it was just a coincidence, that they caught up once, and that nothing else happened afterward. Still, consider Considering what unfolded later, those rumors make you wonder, was there really something more? Or was it all just Luis's paranoid imagination? November 29, 2018. Let's fast forward a bit.
Starting point is 00:05:10 It was November 29, 2018. For Marisol, it was supposed to be a regular day. She went to her classes, nothing unusual. But as always, Luis was waiting for her outside in his car. Cameras from a university security system caught him there, the same way they had so many times before. For Marisol, it probably felt routine at that point, unwanted, suffocating, but routine. She couldn't shake him off.
Starting point is 00:05:43 The strange voice message. The very next day, November 30th, something very unusual happened. Marisol's sister, Ross Mary, or Rosamie, depending on who you ask, received a voice message from her. At first, it sounded like Marisol was saying she was going to travel, which was already odd. But then she added something even stranger, she said she was leaving with Wilmer. Her exact words, as remembered by her sister, were along the lines of. Rosemary, I wanted you to know that right now I'm going to live with Wilmer in Winoco, and I'm traveling.
Starting point is 00:06:24 That alone raised eyebrows. First, because it was completely out of character. Second, because the excuse didn't add up. And just like that, Marisol vanished. She didn't show up to class that day. She didn't call her parents. She didn't text her siblings. For a girl as close to her family as Marisol, this silence was completely
Starting point is 00:06:51 unnatural. Hanek sets in. When her parents realized they hadn't heard from her, they called Ross Mary to ask if she knew what was going on. She didn't. She tried calling Marisol again and again, but nothing. No answer. The only other number she had that was connected to Marisol's life was Louises. At first, she resisted. She didn't want to call him. She only only already distrusted him, maybe even feared him. But after days without news, desperation took over. On December 2nd, she finally dialed his number. Louis's response, classic denial. He claimed he hadn't seen Marisol. He said he wasn't with her and insisted he had traveled to visit his own family. According to him, he had no clue where she was. But
Starting point is 00:07:51 Ross Mary wasn't buying it. Not for a second. She pushed back. Luis, don't lie. Marisol isn't here, is she? And he stuck to his story. No, she's not with me. I swear.
Starting point is 00:08:12 She told me she was heading your way, that's why I'm calling you too. Where is she? I've been trying to reach her. It was a performance. A terrible, unconvincing performance. Digging for the Truth By this point, Ross Mary's instincts were screaming. This wasn't like her sister.
Starting point is 00:08:37 Disappearing without a trace. Leaving without properly telling her parents. Claiming to run off with Wilmer out of nowhere. No way. Something was wrong. She began trying to constantly. contact Wilmer directly. It wasn't easy, but eventually, she managed to track him down. When she spoke to him, he seemed genuinely surprised. He told her that he and Marisol were supposed
Starting point is 00:09:05 to meet that weekend, but she never showed up. He had been worried, too. And then, he revealed something chilling. The fake messages. Wilmer explained that a few days earlier, he had received text messages that appeared to be from Marisol. In them, she urgently asked to meet up. She said she needed to talk to him and begged him to come. So they arranged a meeting. But when Wilmer showed up, it wasn't Marisol who was waiting. It was Luis.
Starting point is 00:09:42 Face to face, Luis told him straight up. I'm going to fight for Marisol's love. She's going to be my woman. He admitted his relationship with her was rocky but swore he was going to win her back, no matter what. For Wilmer, it was weird, maybe even disturbing. But for Ross Mary, hearing this was like connecting all the dots. Luis had clearly intercepted messages, manipulated the situation, and confronted Wilmer directly. That alone proved his obsession hadn't gone away, in fact, it was intensifying.
Starting point is 00:10:21 flags and frustrations. Armed with this information, Ross Mary rushed to her relatives in Lima. She begged them, please, go to the police. Something has happened to Marisol. And here's where the tragedy gets even worse. The police didn't take immediate action. Instead of treating it as a possible abduction or crime, they brushed it off. Maybe she had left voluntarily.
Starting point is 00:10:50 Maybe she'd come back on her own. That assumption caused precious time. Days ticked by, and Marisol was still missing. Her family, meanwhile, was drowning in fear. They knew her better than anyone. This wasn't a case of a rebellious daughter running away. This was a girl who loved her family, who stayed in touch even from far away, and who would never go silent for this long.
Starting point is 00:11:19 They felt powerless. And in many ways, they were. The weight of silence. When a loved one goes missing, the silence is the worst part. Every hour feels like a year. Every time the phone rings, you hope it's them. Every day that passes without news feels heavier and heavier. For the Alba family, those first days were unbearable.
Starting point is 00:11:48 They wanted answers, but nobody was giving them any. They wanted action, but the system was slow. And above all, they wanted Marisol back. Meanwhile, Luis continued playing innocent. He denied everything. He acted as though he was just as worried as everyone else. But his story never added up. Suspitions grow.
Starting point is 00:12:16 that voice message Marisol supposedly sent about leaving with Wilmer? To her family, it didn't sound like her. It felt staged, forced. Almost like someone else had dictated it, or worse, someone else had recorded it altogether. And then there was the timing. The message came right after she was last seen with Luis outside her school. It was too convenient. Too suspicious. Everything pointed to him. But suspicion isn't proof, and without proof, the police were hesitant to act. The community reacts. By this point, word was spreading.
Starting point is 00:13:00 Friends, classmates and neighbors began talking about Marisol's disappearance. Posters went up. Social media posts started circulating. People wanted to know, where was she? about Luis's controlling behavior also began surfacing. People remembered seeing him waiting outside the university, following her around, texting her nonstop. He wasn't just a boyfriend, he was a shadow she couldn't escape. The more people learned, the clearer it became, if something had happened to Marisol, Luis was the most likely suspect. A sister's determination
Starting point is 00:13:41 But if the authorities weren't going to act quickly, Ross Mary wasn't about to sit back and wait. She pushed. She asked questions. She retraced Marisol's steps. She talked to anyone who might know something. Her determination became the driving force behind the search. She refused to let her sister's disappearance be ignored. And that's how little by little, the truth began to unravel.
Starting point is 00:14:11 To be continued.
