00:00Imagine a mother using Tinder not to find love, but to find men who would harm her own 10-year-old daughter.
00:09This is the shocking, real-life case of Michelle Martins, and it's one of the most disturbing crimes you'll ever hear about.
00:21Michelle Martins lived in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
00:24To the outside world, she seemed like a normal, quiet mom, friendly, polite, just trying to raise her daughter, Victoria.
00:34But behind closed doors, she was hiding a nightmare.
00:38Michelle was living a double life, one filled with darkness, deception, and horror.
00:45She wasn't just using dating apps to meet men.
00:48She was actively searching for men who wanted to abuse her daughter.
00:53According to her own confession, Michelle had let multiple men assault Victoria for over a year and claimed she got pleasure from watching.
01:05On the night of August 23, 2016, Victoria's 10th birthday, Michelle invited her new boyfriend, Fabian Gonzalez, and his cousin, Jessica Kelly, who had just been released from prison after serving time for violent crimes.
01:22No cake, no balloons, just a trap.
01:25They gave Victoria methamphetamine.
01:28When she was too weak to fight back, the three adults tortured, assaulted, strangled, and dismembered her, all in her own home.
01:37They even tried to burn her body in the bathtub.
01:41And Michelle?
01:43She stood there and did nothing.
01:45Police were called, and what they found was horrifying.
01:48Even more disturbing, DNA from a fourth, unidentified man was discovered at the scene.
01:55To this day, no one knows who he is, but authorities believe he also took part in the crime.
02:01Michelle Martins, the woman who orchestrated all of this, got only 12 years in prison.
02:08She could be released early.
02:10Fabian and Jessica?
02:11Also escaped the maximum sentence.
02:15All three may one day walk free.
02:18How this is even possible?
02:21Do you think justice was served here, or was this a complete failure by the system?
02:27Drop your thoughts in the comments, and let me know what case you want me to cover next.
02:32Thanks for watching, and if you're still here, you're part of the few who care.
