Описание: Edinburg 1991 cold case solved — arrest shocks community

Under the deep purple sky of a late summer night in Edinburg, Texas, the heat was still rising off the pavement as Laura Martinez finished her shift at the H-E-B supermarket. The yellow sodium lights spilled over the back parking lot, where patches of darkness seemed to swallow every movement between the rows of metal containers. At 9:00 p.m., a coworker standing in the break room saw Laura clutching her small bag as she stepped past the edge of the light, heading toward the section of the lot known as the “dead zone” because the cameras were always glitching. In her hand was an old keychain with a faded red chili pepper charm, something she’d carried on every night shift since high school. The coworker watched Laura’s silhouette drift into the shadows near the cooling units—that was the last image of her anyone in this town would ever have. What happened in the next 7 minutes would leave Edinburg with a scar that wouldn’t fade for nearly three decades.
