Puente’s murder was only discovered when one of her tenants was reported missing by his social worker. Alvaro “Bert” Gonzales Montoya was reported missing on November 11, 1988. Montoya’s social worker was suspicious of Puente due to her boarding house being unlicensed (Los Angeles Times) (BE

Estevan expresses the violent and unfair behavior of the police by saying, “in Guatemala City the police use electricity for interrogation. They have something called the ‘telephone,’ which is an actual telephone of the type they use in the field. It has its own generator, operated by a handle. He held up one hand and turned the other one in a circle in front of the palm…they disconnect the receiver wire and tape the two ends to your body. To sensitive parts.” (134) There were severe problems in Guatemala, specifically with the government and the police, which makes it clear as to why people desperately tried to escape from the oppression they faced. Intense raids took place and police officers tortured innocent people. According to Haver, the army in Guatemala accused villagers of being communists and later, people began to disappear and some were violently murdered. Many people like Estevan and Esperanza feared that the government, army, or police would view them as rebels and falsely consider them a threat, which could potentially lead to their death. To add to these crises in Guatemala, people were also threatened if the government believed they were concealing important information. Kingsolver says, "Ismene wasn't killed; She was taken" (136) because Esperanza and Estevan had to give up Ismene in order to retain valuable information. Since they knew people in

On November 20, the same day that authorities released Lumumba from prison, police, in Germany, arrested Guede, near Mainz, for traveling by train without a ticket. With the evidence that Guede’s fingerprints were all over Margaret’s bedroom and apartment, authorities quickly sent Guede back to Perugia. Initially, Guede admitted being in the apartment when Margaret was killed, but he was in the bathroom playing games on his iPod while suffering with food poisoning. He says that Margaret’s screams finally filtered through the headphones that he was using and that he emerged to find Rafaela in the apartment. He insists that Rafaela told him that he must keep quiet because everyone would believe that the man of color had committed the crime. Guede insists that he heard Amanda in the apartment but did not see her. He then says that he saw Meredith’s dead body, panicked and fled the scene.

Pedro Alonzo Lopez who is also known as the “Monster of the Andes”, is a serial killer that is known to kill many people. At first he started off as a petty thief and then he went on to stealing cars in his teenage years. Then later on in his life he started killing and raping people. Pedro Lopez’s main victims were all young girls. He would look for young girls on a busy street or a market. After he would find his victim that he thought was good enough he would then go onto kidnaping them and then rape them. After he was done raping them he would strangle them to death as he would stare into their eye. He has been caught many times but was released and his main focus was to make the young girls lose their innocence. He is known to kidnap, rape and kill over 300 young girls. After he was done killing them he would bury them and sometimes he would even bury 3-4 girls in one grave. In a confession he once stated that he would have tea parties or would play morbid games with the dead children, not only that but he would also prop them up in their grave and talk to them and would convince himself that his little friends likes the company (websleuths).

of Juan Duarte, a well to do business man from Chivilcoy. There, Juan had another family of his own, and he was respected. For a time, he stayed in Los Toldos with dona Jauna, and they had five children together, Eva being the youngest. Although dona Jauna and Duarte were never married, the children all chose to take their father’s last name (Fraser 3).

Back in those days, it was not uncommon for men to have more than one family or to impregnate an Indian woman, but it was uncommon for a mistress of these men to behave the way Ibaguren did. Eva’s parents never married, even after having multiple children together. There were questions of legitimacy, because of the time span the family took before having the children named, and in Eva's case there are no surviving records of her birth certificate or baptism. Eventually, Eva and her four siblings Elisa, Blanca, Juan and Erminda all took the last name, Duarte, after their father, though it was a matter of controversy between Ibaguren and Juan Duarte about which name they would take. Eventually, Juan left the Indian family, and moved back with his primary family. His primary mistress, Estela Grisolía, and he had three daughters together. He lived with them in Chicilcoy up until his death from a car accident. Differentiating stories are told as to whether Eva’s family was allowed into the funeral for Juan or if Juan's primary family shunned them. The funeral was something entirely different to Eva for she had never been outside of the Indian village they lived in. Eva and her family were probably met with mild hostility for they were not the primary family, but like many other aspects of her life, it remains a mystery. After the

A couple weeks later is when the murders began. Donatello is the first to be killed. Maya and Donatello were in charge of getting food. I don't know exactly what happened, but I guess Donatello did something that irked Maya. She mentions about hitting him in the back of the head. I'm guessing he was being immature and arrogant.

One tradition I have is, on Christmas morning I wake up and drink hot chocolate and watch a Christmas movie to wait for everybody to wake up. Another tradition is while opening gifts we play loud Christmas music and eat cookies, and, my sister I play our 3DS and wait for people to come over. On Christmas weekend I usually leave to go to my grandparent’s house until Christmas morning, and that got me wondering, I wonder what my other grandma would say if I got a BB gun for a present.

“They’d gone three nights without sleeping” (Marquez, 79) this shows that when they began to fall asleep they would think about their crime an the murder scene of Santiago would keep replaying in their minds. This shows that they knew they had committed an iniquitous deed. They probably knew he was innocent but needed to murder him in order to save the honour of their family. The murder of Santiago was a pill that kept them insomniac for life. Pedro even feared that “he wouldn’t sleep again for the rest of his life,” (Marquez, 80) Pedro began to have urine problems and he hadn’t slept in eleven months. The murder of Santiago had been publicised in even nook and corner of their town by the Vicario twins. If they actually wanted to murder Santiago they wouldn’t have told everyone about it. It can be said that there was another motive behind publicising the murder. “Twenty two people had heard everything said........ that the only reason they had said it was for someone to hear them.” (Marquez, 51) this quote divulges that they announced the murder around town in order for people to prevent them from murdering Santiago. Being Angela’s brothers it was their duty to hurt Santiago. But they wanted to be stopped as they probably knew that he wasn’t peccant and that he did not deserve to die. It shows that from within they didn’t even want to kill him. Pablo claimed that Pedro told him to go by himself to kill Santiago as he wasn’t in the

An unknown author once said, "Families are like fudge—mostly sweet with a few nuts. My family is the most important aspect to my life. No matter how much they sometimes pester or annoy me I still love them. I do not think people can live through life without the support of family. My family mostly supports me throughout all my actions, and they make me laugh. I do not really think I resemble either my mom or dad. They both had very difficult lives growing up, and I do not think I will ever experience that. Before there was me, there were my parents whose struggle against communism led them to the United States to find the life they deserved.

No one can’t meet a family like mine’s. My family is well diversified. Every family member plays an important role in all my family’s lives. In my family, there are four people: my father, my mother, my little brother and me. My father is one who brings money home and is also responsible for organizing and planning family trips. My mother is the one who is in charge for making meals and makes sure everyone eats at the appropriate times. My little brother is the pet of the family. He actually doesn’t have any responsibilities, for he’s the pet. I am the rock of support in my family. I always go beyond my parents’ expectations. I also support my younger cousins and little brother, by being a role model that they can look up to. Another
