refusal then the athlete decided to go on the sly saying that he did not believe her and wanted to personally look at the issued medical certificate he appointed KLA a meeting in the evening in a crowded place which did not surprise her because they always tried not to draw attention to themselves and do not get in front of anyone a few days before the meeting the boxer stopped by his old friend Luis Antonio kadiz who worked in a local machine shop and also had ties with the criminal World selling illegal drugs
Felix briefly outlined the situation and asked him to help him get rid of his pregnant mistress Louis had previously been in the field of vision of the police and the prospect of being in prison scared him but the athlete was persistent assured that everything would go smoothly and the police will never come out on them besides Felix promised him an impressive cash reward and Luis agreed with the support of an accomplice Felix called KLA and told her that he wanted to meet her on the evening of April 29th to confirm her pregnancy and
decide what to do next immediately after talking to her lover Kisha called her sister back and told her everything she still had hoped that Felix would accept her child and would not insist on an abortion but baral’s all this situation is quite alarmed she knew that the boyfriend had threatened her sister and she was worried that he wouldn’t do anything to her barise called her mother and shared her concerns but even together they could not dissuade KLA from that fateful meeting at the appointed time Rodriguez taking a
doctor’s note arrived at the meeting in her own kiaforte automobile verdejo drove there in his pickup truck in the back of which Luis was hiding Kisha immediately got into the athletes car and showed him the results of the tests he once again talked about terminating the pregnancy but KLA crying again responded with a refusal against this background the couple began to quarrel violently turning to shouting then Felix suddenly hit Kisha in the head with his fist from which she immediately lost Consciousness until KLA regained ious
Felix took a syringe with a large dose of illegal substances hidden in the glove compartment of the car which Luis had obtained at his request and injected KLA then together with his accomplice They carried her to the back of the car where there were already prepared pieces of wire and a concrete block the men tied Rodriguez up attached the load and then covered her with a tarp so that no one would accidentally see anything Felix then returned to the pickup truck while his accomplice got behind the wheel of kisha’s vehicle
together they drove to the bridge over the San Jose Lagoon it was virtually deserted at night and the men making sure no one could see them threw KLA still alive into the water afterward however they decided to fire a few test shots in Pursuit using the Firearms they had brought with them so as not to leave the victim any chance having finished the massacre each of the perpetrators went home Kish co-workers were the first to worry when she didn’t show up at the veterinary medicine and Aesthetics Center the next day KLA has always been
very responsible and couldn’t just not show up for work without notifying anyone since she didn’t answer the phone it was decided to contact her sister to find out what happened after several unsuccessful attempts to contact her sister she went to her house no one answered the door but barise had a spare key so she got in without difficulty however she was met only by hungry animals who had not eaten anything for almost 24 hours now barise was already in a panic because she realized that something terrible or irreparable had
happened to KLA she immediately called her mother and told her everything and then reported to the police about her suspicions and threats to her sister she also called Felix but he claimed that he had spent the previous evening and night at home with his family and had not gone to any meeting the missing girl’s mother took the first flight from Florida to San Juan she thought that her lover might have taken her daughter to a private clinic and paid for her to have an abortion without her consent Kayla didn’t even want to think about the fact
that Kisha was no longer alive the first thing to do was to question the missing girl’s neighbors and co-workers but they didn’t notice anything suspicious and couldn’t provide the investigation with any useful information in parallel messages about The Disappearance of Rodriguez were posted on popular social networks with requests to respond to those those who know anything about her fate or current whereabouts the case quickly received wide publicity and when it became known that the missing girl was in a long-term
relationship with a famous athlete and was expecting a child from him reporters literally lined up to interview any of Rodriguez’s family members the relatives did not hold anything back and spoke out about their suspicions among other things blaming Felix for the incident on April 30th kisha’s car was found abandoned on the east side of the city with her documents and personal belongings inside no signs of struggle were found in the interior giving a faint hope of finding its owner alive on May 1st a passer by strolling
on the bridge over the Lagoon saw a strange shape resembling a human body in the shallow water he reported his Discovery to the police who soon recovered from the water the body of a young woman presumably the same one the whole city had been looking for for several days members of the Rodriguez family who arrived to identify the body hoped to the last that it was not KLA but their hopes were not realized the body had been in the water for several days and changed a lot but the girl was immediately identified by a
remarkable tattoo on her arm when news of the gruesome Discovery hit the press the residents of the city revolted and began to go out to spontaneous rallies demanding punishment for those responsible the same day verdejo was detained and taken to the police Poli station for questioning but the athlete categorically denied his involvement and claimed that on the night of kisha’s disappearance he was at home with his family as there was nothing to charge him Felix was released on his own recognizance one of the key Witnesses
was the athletes Legal Wife who at the first interrogation admitted that she was aware of his affair with KLA but that she had heard about her rival’s pregnancy for the first time on top of that she did not confirm her husband’s alibi saying that he was not at home on the night of the murder the first thing investigators did was check traffic surveillance footage on the way to the bridge from which Kisha was thrown that’s how they found Felix’s pickup truck and the victim’s car traveling behind each other but the keia of forte
was clearly not driven by its owner on the same day the boxer’s car was seized for examination and in its body they found some hair of the deceased Luise was the first to surrender to the police promising to tell the whole truth in exchange for a reduced sentence Felix was also taken into custody but he refused to cooperate with the investigation did not answer questions and continued to deny his guilt despite the presence of irrefutable evidence a firearm was seized from Felix which he used to shoot the victim from the bridge
and for which he had an official permit also a cell phone check confirmed the fact that Felix Lis and KLA were in the same location on that fateful night is’s final farewell was on May 8th and the funeral ceremony was all over the national news it was a kind of action calling for the perpetrators of the tragedy to be punished to the full extent of the law as well as an action to draw public attention to the problem of gender violence the coffin with Rodriguez’s body was brought to the cemetery not in a traditional hearse but in a white
Carriage over which white flower petals were thrown from the air many famous Puerto Rican na naves including Show Business Stars athletes politicians and public figures have spoken out about the high-profile incident verdejo was charged with carjacking kidnapping premeditated murder and the murder of an unborn child all of these crimes together carried the death penalty but the relatives of the deceased from the very beginning asked the court to elect a sentence of life imprisonment for the killer so that he would suffer in
captivity for the rest of his life the hearing was repeatedly postpone owned due to the worldwide Corona virus pandemic but in the spring of 2021 the trial was held in Virtual Mode the court found that the crime was committed by a group of persons by prior conspiracy and with particular cruelty against a pregnant woman it was possible to reconstruct the chain of events of that night and the details of the crime mainly thanks to the testimony of Lise who did not deny his guilt he admitted that it was he who at the request of a
friend got the drug for injection and also brought a wire and a concrete block to get rid of the body but Felix continued to insist on his non-involvement in the case although his words could not seriously affect the situation by the way the wife of the boxer who acted in court as a witness almost immediately after the arrest of her husband filed for divorce and tried to abstract from what was happening focusing on the development of his business and raising a young daughter According to some reports not so long ago Alisa Santiago remarried
Elisa herself admitted in an interview that she repeatedly received anonymous calls and messages with death threats as well as death wishes to her and even Miranda many considered it was the spouse of the athlete as the organizer of the crime but no evidence was found in the summer of 2023 it became known that the jury having familiarized itself with all the evidence and heard the testimony of all the witnesses was finally ready to announce the final verdict Felix verdejo and his accomplice Luis kadiz were found guilty on each of
the charges against them but despite this The Killers have not yet been sentenced the next court hearing is scheduled for Mid November 2023 most likely both men involved in the deaths of KLA Rodriguez and her unborn child will likely go to prison for life with no right to ever leave prison thanks for watching guys that was Jack with you subscribe to the channel there are many roing stories ahead
