Horror Stories
About this episode
In this horror story, we're going back to the early 2000s, when elderly women were being found dead inside their own homes. Despite the clues and witness accounts, the investigations kept falling short all while citizens of Mexico City were asked to watch out for a stranger at their doors. This episode was originally published on Murders in spring 2024.
