00:01This program documents actual homicide investigations.
00:05Criminal charges are often dropped or reduced,
00:07and all suspects shown are presumed innocent unless proven guilty.
00:23Willow County 911, the solicitation of the emergency.
00:27Hunters, Claude Lane.
00:29KRC Reserve apartments.
00:31Police and paramedics.
00:33Police and paramedics.
00:35They're fine for our neighbors.
00:38They tried somebody's dead in your apartment.
00:40Her sister, I believe.
00:43Their dogs were barking all day.
00:44They were like, I guess it was because of this.
00:49She's cold.
00:50There's blood everywhere.
00:52I think she's been murdered.
00:53We have help off the way.
00:55OK, thank you, ma'am.
01:04Quick out, police!
01:10There's blood everywhere.
01:14Pretty brutal.
01:17A whole bunch of settlers.
01:19There's blood on the bear as well.
01:23A female pretty much stabbed to death.
01:26And she is clearly 48.
01:30Eight of hours she's been there.
01:33Body's very cold.
01:35Homicide en route.
01:38I want to do this to somebody.
01:50For homicide detectives, their chance of solving a murder
01:54is cut in half if they don't get a lead
01:57within the first 48 hours.
02:12Howdy.
02:13How are you guys?
02:19The victims?
02:20Ana Karen.
02:2424-year-old Ana Karen Ramos-Hernandez
02:27was born in Cuernavaca, Mexico,
02:29and moved to the United States when she was 10.
02:33Since graduating high school, Karen worked as a house painter
02:36and was learning how to do home renovation.
02:39She enjoyed spending her free time with her four nieces,
02:42two cats, and two dogs.
02:53Karen was stabbed her arms, her face.
02:57Like, a lot of chest stuff as well.
03:00This was definitely, somebody was going after her.
03:05Karen was stabbed over 40 times.
03:09I've never seen one with that many days.
03:13In the bedroom, feeling her turn to the right of the bed
03:16and there's a lot of big pool of blood on the bed.
03:20And there's a lot of stuff above the headboard.
03:25We think she's probably been here since last night.
03:28There's no forced entrance from the door.
03:33There's two bloody fingerprints on the entrance door.
03:40We haven't located the knife.
03:42No.
03:45The victim's sister, last contact with the victim,
03:48was last night.
03:49She gets here and she immediately finds her sister like that.
03:55So I call her sister.
03:56Well.
04:07Ayer, the last time I talked to her,
04:09it was at 8 o'clock.
04:12And I sent her memes of the night
04:15and she said, I'm going to leave her tomorrow.
04:17So I left her.
04:18And in the morning, when I woke up at 7 o'clock,
04:20I called her and said,
04:22I told her, she said,
04:22I'm going to sleep.
04:23She said, she's sleeping.
04:24She says, she's still sleeping.
04:25She said, I'll have her.
04:26And after she left me,
04:28then I hit her for a nice room.
04:30And then she went on to sleep to see me.
04:34She saw a nice room.
04:36All she had to sleep with sleep.
04:43And then she said,
04:43She didn't get home to sleep and leave me.
04:44She says, she's on the phone,
04:46and she's on the phone.
04:47I'm going to come home.
04:49And I was on the phone,
04:50and she stole her.
04:53I chose my phone to take her home.
04:53She wasn't getting home as she was on the phone.
04:54She was on the phone.
05:05Karen's sister says that until recently, Karen had lived with her longtime boyfriend, Sebastian
05:11Omania Torres.
05:24What did she have done with her?
05:26He is very vicious, I like the bike and other stuff.
05:31I told her many times, I don't really like it, but she was 12 with him.
05:57She says she called Sebastian's father after discovering Karen's body.
06:12Sebastian's father told her his son moved in with him four days ago.
06:26She says Sebastian's father is on his way to the scene.
06:43Downstairs from Karen's apartment.
06:52Detective David Early talks to Karen's neighbor.
06:58Hey, this is Detective Early.
07:00Good night, PD.
07:01Does this thing work?
07:02Yes.
07:03Do you mind if I kind of look back and see if we can't see what happened?
07:09Motion clips.
07:1312 to 16 and this dude walking real, real slow up that direction.
07:20Like sneaking up the steps.
07:23Like what's he contemplating here?
07:31He comes out kind of in a hurry, pulling the hood over his face.
07:37Thank you, sir.
07:38Okay.
07:49Sebastian's father arrives to talk to detectives.
07:53Today.
07:54When you speak Sebastian's father.
07:56Hey.
07:58How was he?
08:00What about him?
08:00At that time, the 3's called me.
08:01How did you tell him how you are?
08:03I asked you.
08:05Where did you go?
08:06He said he said, he has a job here, in Miami.

11:11The white SUV hit a Flock camera
11:15in south Georgia near Valdosta
11:18at 6 p.m. this evening.
11:21Karen's Explorer was spotted leaving the state, heading south.
11:26Does dad think he got the means to get back to Columbia?
11:33Checked flights from Miami to Columbia today.
11:36See if there's any.
11:39I believe that we're at PC already for an arrest warrant for the suspect.
11:45Headed back to headquarters to work on that arrest warrant.
11:57That's him.
12:0026-year-old Kurt Sebastian Omania Torres has no prior convictions.
12:06Sebastian's originally from Columbia.
12:09That could be a potential location where he would want to flee.
12:14Miami, to fly over to Columbia would be really easy.
12:18A lot of international flights come out of Miami to South America.
12:22He left the state.
12:24He has a day ahead of us.
12:27We're having the U.S. Marshals to go ahead and try to come down.
12:32Marshals, we have a lot more resources to locate suspects.
12:55Two days later.
13:01There he is.
13:07We're there, police.
13:08Hello?
13:12Vehicle is empty.
13:13He's going to be inside.
13:17Hey, who came in in that white Explorer?
13:20Is he in the bathroom?
13:21No, he's in the bathroom.
13:23You're in the bathroom.
13:24You're in the bathroom.
13:25Police.
13:27Yeah.
13:28Let me see your hands.
13:29Step out.
13:29Both hands.
13:31Step up.
13:31Hey, step out.
13:34Come here.
13:37Can you confirm his name?
13:39Yes.
13:39Get him over here.
13:42This is a mess of the way of stabbing.
13:44Murder hurts.
13:46Yeah, it's good.
13:48He goes to 35.
13:58Karen's live Ford Explorer had hit on our license plate reading cameras around 11 o'clock.
14:03We got information from the father.
14:05Kurt had returned home, and then he left and said that he was going to go to a gas station.
14:12That video is definitely this guy.
14:14The video they said it does.
14:16He's got long hair.
14:17You can see the little shave on the side.
14:19Mm-hmm.
14:20That's him.
14:29He's got long hair.
14:30He's got long hair.
14:31He's got long hair.
14:32He's got long hair.
14:33No, no, no, no.

14:36Lo que pasa es que, mira, yo salĂ a huir porque lo que pasa es que yo me siento como
14:42en una amenaza.

18:48Dios mĂo.
18:51Yo le pido a Dios...
18:53que me perdone, Señor.
19:09LlegĂł un momento en el que...
19:11no sé qué estaba haciendo.
19:16Yo sĂ© que va a ser difĂcil.

19:42la donna.
19:43Un espĂritu, una entidad muy áspela.
19:48I don't know, but the fact is that if I went to the devil, the demon, the demon, the
20:03power of my hand, my body, my way of thinking.
20:10When did you enter where she was?
20:13Well, she was there, on the television.
20:17You didn't enter and she was on the television.
20:22What happened to her?
20:23It hurts, it hurts, it hurts.
20:27It hurts more if she was inside.
20:31I started it.
20:35Did she tell you?
20:36Yes.
20:39Did she tell you something when you were watching?
20:42Give me a kiss, give me a kiss.
20:52It hurts a lot for me.
20:55I said, I'm not going to die.
20:58No, I'm not going to die.
21:04I don't see them though, you.
21:06There's some of the people, okay?
21:12He doesn't take off the mask until he's walking down the stairs from the apartment, so I believe he has
21:18his mask on the entire time.
21:24I think he's just full of it.
21:26The kids, I think it's just all to try to make himself feel better.
21:31I think it was probably a lot of revenge and anger in there.
21:34And for all we know, I mean, she dumped him and he wasn't having it.
21:39I do see this a lot when it comes to domestics and the stabbing being the injuries.
21:46There's always a lot of rage and emotion behind it.
21:51And his mind think that she still loved him all the way to the end.
22:22Six months after Karen's death.
22:27I'm giving them the pictures, which my sister was one of her favorites.
22:33The relationship with Karen, that I was very close.
