About this episode

One of the saddest things about crime in Latin America is that even the worst criminals can benefit from impunity. In the case of Linda Loaiza, this was demonstrated in the most brazen and shameless way possible.


Linda was a young woman from the west of Venezuela who moved to the capital, Caracas, to study and become a veterinarian. But one day, she was kidnapped by a wealthy and well-connected individual who decided to make her his latest victim; what followed was months of pain and humiliation, and it would not end once she was rescued.


In this episode of the Learn Spanish with Stories podcast, we discover the story of Linda Loaiza, a woman who went through some of the worst events possible to come out a stronger, determined individual who would go on to fight injustice for the rest of her life.
