The carpet that disappeared: Diomedes and the buried secret: The homicide of Doris Adriana Niño

In the early morning of May 15, 1997, a man in a yellow sweater throws a body wrapped in a raincoat into a thicket on the outskirts of Bogotá. Three farmers see everything. But when the police arrive, no one asks about the carpet that disappeared from the apartment where it all happened.

In this episode, we explore the contradictions that condemned singer Diomedes Díaz: a death that changed causes between autopsies, fluids from three men found on the corpse, and a note with the exact address kept in the pocket of an engineer who loved an idol too much. How did six years in prison turn into three and a half years of freedom?
