San Miguel Kidnappings

De: Erick Galindo, Roger Vela

Narrado por: Karla Souza

The close knit community in San Miguel de Allende Mexico was plagued by a string of sophisticated kidnappings for nearly a decade. When the police finally made an arrest the townspeople were shocked by who was accused of masterminding the criminal enterprise. It's everyone's favorite neighbor and a pillar of the community, Ramon Guerra. Except Ramon isn't who he says he is.

Brutal story

The investigative team gave us a window to a system I don’t think I’ll ever truly understand but it gave some clarity.

Brutal descriptions

Picked this true crime listen from the Audible Original list. Fairly short listen, a little over 5 hours. I was immediately sucked into the story. It’s a very difficult listen due to the brutality of the kidnappings. Definitely held my attention.

A Heatbreaking Investigation into Kidnappings

This was an excellent account of a series of kidnappings in Mexico and the convoluted history of the man arrested for them. Terrified residents of this well to do area never knew who would be next. Gives some recent Chile, where the suspect grew up along with questions and concerns. The saddest takeaway is that the handling of the cases by local authorities was less than it could’ve been and national attention came when several Americans were kidnapped and some killed. More attention came to the American case, than Mexican citizens in their own country.

San Miguel kidnappings

Very intriguing, true Mexican government corruption, it really is chronic corruption, unsolved cases, feel awfully bad for the Mexican citizens. Liked the book

kidnapping

This was very well thought out. The story was investigated. The plot was interesting and the cultural aspects were well described. The listener receives a short political history of two countries and gets to make their own decisions of guilt or innocence.

San Miguel Kidnappings

The story was Deeply Researched Wooow!!!.
How Kidnappings-Mexican police corruption- and Russian-Cuban intelligence’s services shadow cast continues affecting Latin American and in this particular case San Miguel de Allende Guanajuato Mexico.

I shared this audiobook with all my family then some!!!

Worth a listen

A better title would be Crime and Corruption in Latin America. A couple of kidnappings (2 or 3) were mentioned but they were not the focus.

Easy read

Story is told very well. Kudos to author for her candid and frank telling of corruption.

San Miguel Kidnapings

This story kept me up all the time, Sad, but true the reality is lived in Mexico. The story was well told and the actors made me be aware of every situation in the story.

Insightful

Very well told and makes several valid points, especially about the lack of local, national and international concerns for the people of Mexico, especially for women.
