Ep. 42-Grave Injustice: The Murder of Abigail Riquel and the Vigilante Murder of Her Killer

Send us a text

On Saturday, October 18, 2020, 9-year-old Abigail Riquel ate breakfast with her parents in their little house in San Miguel de Tucumán in Argentina.  Afterwards, she started walking toward her friend's house but ran into 25-year-old Jose Guaymas. He convinced her to go with him instead to a nearby neighborhood called Villa Muñecas, where he assaulted and killed her. When police initially refused to help find her, the community rallied around her parents to see that justice was done. But did they go too far?
