00:00San Pedro is shocked by a crime full of mysteries, full of enigmas.
00:05A man of a very good economic position, a man who had just earned a small fortune as compensation,
00:14who appeared brutally murdered in his house.
00:19A crime that was discovered when the firefighters were called by the neighbors to this San Pedro house
00:26because there were flames, because there was fire coming out of this house.
00:30There we are seeing it. The man's name was Aquiles Castañares Mateos.
00:35That is the victim, 33 years old.
00:39What you see there is the car.
00:41He or the murderer took it after murdering this victim inside his own house.
00:50It is believed that stealing the money he had earned as compensation for his work
00:56in a company that makes jams,
00:59then he would have taken the car to escape,
01:02make eight blocks,
01:04light the fire to erase his traces and disappear.
01:09At this moment there are several brigades of the Buenos Aires police
01:13who are trying to clarify this enigmatic crime.
01:17The crime of a 33-year-old man who appears, Javier Díaz,
01:21wrapped in a mattress inside his own house.
01:25As is. You know that he had earned 19 million pesos in this compensation.
01:29A small fortune.
01:30Exactly.
01:31For any of us.
01:32That is one of the possibilities of the attempted theft.
01:35In fact, the whole house was disorganized,
01:38as if they had looked for some elements to be able to,
01:43let's say, the police.
01:44I'm saying elements to have and give to him or the murderers.
01:48Data. In addition to what Rolando was telling.
01:50This car that was partially lit on fire.
01:54The inside.
01:55For what?
01:56To erase traces.
01:57Of course.
01:58On the other hand.
01:59I'll stop you there for a second, Javier.
02:00Yes.
02:01If he was worried about lighting fire to erase traces,
02:03there is a first indication of a murderer or a murderer
02:08who knew the victim, who knew that it was easily identifiable by investigators.
02:12Absolutely.
02:13He does not die from blows or shots or stabs,
02:17but he dies from the smoke.
02:19Afflicted by the smoke.
02:20Afflicted by the smoke from the fire in the room where he was found.
02:25That's why what you want is that one of you either had some hang-up, for example,
02:31but he vanished and they thought he was dead,
02:35or they gave him something to drink to vanish him, to reduce him,
02:39and he dies as a result of the fire.
02:41When you talk about occasional partner, we have to consider two situations.
02:45Aquiles had a formal partner,
02:48a partner recognized by his circle of friends.
02:52A man, just like that.
02:53Now, apparently, who would have committed the crime is an occasional partner.
03:00It may be.
03:01A lover of the moment, someone who may have acted as a widow.
03:07He had a boyfriend.
03:09He was in a couple, but an open couple,
03:12where he could also have an occasional meeting with other men.
03:18In fact, this was known, and this is also told by his partner,
03:21who had to testify in the cause,
03:23and that in principle, for now, he is not indicated as a possible author,
03:27but as a witness, because when they call him,
03:30he obviously tells the last hours of his partner that there was no conflict.
03:36The fact that there is, within this investigation,
03:39because it is a really very tricky crime, very morbid, of course,
03:44because of the characteristics.
03:46We are talking about a middle-class man,
03:48licensed in Human Resources,
03:50who had a job, who came to a situation of detachment,
03:5319 million pesos of payment,
03:56I insist, a small fortune for any of us,
03:59that can tempt the very devil.
04:03Here they find him tied up, with a sign of defense,
04:06wrapped in a mattress, Javier, is that correct?
04:08Wrapped in a mattress, but he dies, we reiterate,
04:10he does not die before the fire,
04:12but he dies as a consequence of the fire and by the smoke.
04:15The ceilings, for example, although they were stained by the smoke,
04:19they were not burned, that is, the whole room was not burned.
04:22One more fact, where did he have the money, finally?
04:25That surely the murderers, or the killer, the murderer, did not know.
04:30And there we can leave this.
04:33If they did not know, they probably hit him.
04:36It is likely that these blows, that Javier, you described to us,
04:39that had the body of Aquinas,
04:41have to do with a situation of torture,
04:43of giving money that we know you charged,
04:46the money that we came to look for,
04:49a surprise that the victim has taken
04:51in the midst of a situation that he thought was romantic,
04:54was sexual, and that ends in the worst way.
04:57What they think is that maybe he confesses where he had that money.
05:01He had it in coins, in virtual wallets.
05:05He had all that money, he had put it in a virtual wallet.
05:09What do they take from the room or the house, among other things,
05:13although there are minor missing, his cell phone?
05:17To perhaps try to access those accounts,
05:21those virtual wallets where he had the money.
05:24Exactly, that's why.
05:26And they also burn the car.
05:28To erase fingerprints, to erase traces.
05:30There is a very big commotion there in San Pedro as a result of this.
05:33Among other things, the sub-DDI of Varadero is intervening,
05:36which is the one who understands the cause.
05:38There is a prosecutor who, of course, is advancing in the investigation.
05:42Some raids have been made,
05:45and raids are being made at this time
05:47in the area of San Pedro and around.
05:50As a result of some data that has been reported and have had the cause.
05:53What we can think of, then, is the possibility of a black widow.
05:58We are talking about a crime that mixes millions,
06:03that mixes sex and that has betrayal.
06:07Those are the elements that are being raised to us.
06:10A man who charges compensation, who has a stable partner,
06:14you said, Javier, an open partner that allowed him,
06:18of mutual agreement, of course, to have other occasional relationships,
06:23as long as that central link was maintained.
06:26Yes.
06:27But where it seems this man fell into a trap,
06:30the trap of a black widow.
06:32Exactly.
06:33That is the other word and another of the possible edges that this investigation has.
06:38Is there a black widow investigated
06:41about that open relationship that he had with his partner,
06:45in which he could have another type of circumstantial relationship?
06:50Well, that's what is being investigated.
06:52That is why the investigators also do not leave out this possibility,
06:56taking into account that, I reiterate, he does not die by blows,
06:59he does not die by a shot or a stab, but he dies by smoke.
07:03Nor does he die by fire, as you said.
07:05He does not die burned.
07:06The environment is not carbonized.
07:08There is black smoke, but the whole house did not catch fire.
07:11And because of the carbon monoxide that expels it,
07:14he drowns and dies, and ends up dying in his own room.
07:18The car is a Toyota Etios, which was his property.
07:21He worked in a candy factory, there in the San Pedro area,
07:25for about two months, three months.
07:28He had a human resources license,
07:31and he was a boy, as some said, who had no problems.
07:36He had no conflicts with anyone, known conflicts, as the police said.
07:40Who had any problems with him? No one, in principle.
07:43The only problem he had, according to the story of his family,
07:47was that he was an addict, but he was a consumer.
07:50He was not a mugger, he was not a person linked to drug trafficking,
07:54or anything like that.
07:55That is why what is being investigated is, on the one hand,
07:58a black widow, on the other hand, a dealer.
08:01Someone who offered him to take drugs to the house,
08:06or who invited him to a kind of shared drug consumption.
08:10This affects people's private lives, of course.
08:14I say, we get into people's private lives,
08:17when it has to do with the investigation.
08:19This is what the police do.
08:20Everyone at home does what they want.
08:22Now, what is being analyzed here is that a 33-year-old man,
08:27a professional, a college student,
08:29loses the life of a victim, probably,
08:32of someone who took advantage of a weakness.
08:36A weakness, and I'm thinking,
08:38a problematic drug use, or not,
08:41or a situation of sexual adventure,
08:44of exposing oneself to the unknown.
08:47I think of the cell phone, Javier, that you were telling us,
08:50he or the murderers took it.
08:53Be careful with the plural.
08:54I raise it because when there is a black widow,
08:57in general, there is one who acts as a seducer,
09:00and there are accomplices who then enter the scene,
09:04in this case, the victim's house,
09:06when the lie falls to the facade of the romance
09:10to force the victim to give her belongings,
09:13rape her, or even kill her.
09:15If they took the cell phone,
09:16maybe there is also, in addition to this key data
09:19that Javier brings us from the virtual wallets,
09:22maybe there was some previous contact
09:25by WhatsApp, by some application.
09:27And also, who killed this person, this man, Aquiles,
09:30worked on insurance.
09:31Although the house is inside the urban center,
09:35there in San Pedro,
09:36it is not that it is on the outskirts, or in the cloud.
09:38In fact, the neighbors did not hear any noise,
09:41no blow, no scream, nothing like that.
09:44That is, both believe that they knew each other,
09:48maybe from some previous relationship,
09:50or at that moment,
09:52or, because I reiterate,
09:54they sedated him,
09:56they laid him down,
09:57they stirred everything,
09:59and to erase traces, they set fire.
10:01What they thought was a corpse,
10:03ended up being a person vanished there in the place.
10:06The police threw him,
10:07just that he died as a result of the smoke.
10:10One of the worst endings.
10:11We will continue with this story,
10:13because it gives us chills,
10:16because it has a lot of mystery,
10:18and because in this program, you will see it,
10:20we do not leave any relevant case.
