College Students Abducted To Be GIFTED To A Politician To Be SA'ed- Eileen Sarmenta & Allan Gomez

Do you know what a dead body smells. like? I googled it. I don't know by. myself. Don't come for me. They say a. dead body smells like rotting meat. That's to be expected, right? It's. rotting meat that's been left on the. counter for days. But there is something. sickly sweet about the smell. It's not. just rotten meat. There's almost a. fruity undertone to it. Like the type of. sweetness that might make you feel sick. These days, there are a lot of highly. effective chemicals that can neutralize.

these odors, thankfully. But still, there's a constant chemically sharp. reminder of what that scent is masking. It's masking the scent of death. It's. not easy working in a morgue, especially. for college students. But this was a. university hospital, and these kids in. the Philippines needed to get their. credits. So instead of joining in all. the fun fraternity parties, these. students were basically interns at the. morgue. It's an actual morgue. Yeah, it's a hospital morgue.

um So when it was slow, maybe they would. even sit at the desk, try to get some. studying done. Tonight was not that. night, though. There was a rush of. police officers running into the morgue. They had two bodies, both hidden. underneath the white sheets. One young. female, one young male. The students. gathered with the head pathologist on. duty, and they watched as they peeled. back these white sheets slowly, carefully. The police had already warned. them, though. It's going to be gruesome. The bodies are not in good condition. This is going to be traumatizing for you. guys to see. Like just be warned.

The female body has severe evidence of. trauma, most likely essayed and tortured. by a group of killers. Both victims were. shot. The students stood frozen in. I mean, what I can only imagine is. horror. The two bodies that were on the cold. steel table, they were their friends. They were their classmates. They were. university students. And these murders were about to be the. biggest mystery / murder investigations.

that they had seen in this town in a. very, very long time. It would lead to. the vanishing of a police officer, seven. high-profile killers being thrown in. jail with a combined sentence of 1,970. years in prison. Even the president of. the Philippines had to step in and get. involved. Because who would do something like this. to two innocent university students?

As always, full show notes are available. at rottenmango podcast.com. Today we're. talking about a case that happened in. the Philippines, and we had our. wonderful Filipino researcher help with. this case. I feel like we have like a. little network of mini detectives in all. these different countries now, and it's.

been It's been intense, but I think you. guys have been liking the coverage of. international cases, so we've all been. working hard to keep them coming. But as. always, if you guys know anything about. this case that wasn't said in this. video, if you have more insight or. anything at all that got lost in. translation, please leave it in the. comments below. And with that being. said, let's get into it. Deputy Chief. George walks into the conference room at. the police station. Officer Aurelio was. already there. He's Deputy George's like. right-hand man. They practically ran.

every single case together. He was. present in the conference room, and the. two are sitting there waiting for the. three other random officers that had. also been summoned. They rushed in with. their little hot coffees in their hand. So we have Officer Zoilo, Officer. Vijencio, and Officer Lewis. So those. three come in. Now it's five officers in. this room. Deputy Chief George is in. charge. I know it's a lot of names, but. they're super important to the. investigation. Deputy George and his. four officers, they weren't particularly. a group that always worked together. In. fact, they weren't even that that close.

But this was a very special case. 7:00. a.m. They had a lot of ground to cover. Deputy George starts the conversation. Look, I didn't call you guys here by. accident. Each officer in this room was. handpicked by the mayor to form a task. force. From now on, the mayor is our. boss. Not Major Canyo who's our boss. The. mayor is our boss. Because boys, today. we are going to catch the biggest drug. runner in the region, Tosoy. The five of. us are going to form a cohesive unit of.

operation. The mayor expects us to have. that drug runner in handcuffs on his. dirty little wrist ASAP. Do you think we. can handle it? So the four officers, they're getting excited. They're sitting. up straighter. They're putting their. coffees down. If the mayor personally. chose us for the job, that means he. thinks we are the best. We're the best. team to get this job done. This was the. peak of their careers. In unison, they. shouted, "Yes, sir." And Tosoy was a. big, big problem to a lot of people in. the area. But for Eileen and Allan, two.

college students, there was nothing. connecting them to this drug runner. A. little bit about Eileen Sarmenta and. Allan Gomez. They both attended Los. Banos at University, which is about an. hour from Manila. They both studied. agriculture, but Eileen was on like the. feeding the cow side of it, while Allan. was on the the eating the cow side of. it. Basically, Eileen studied agriculture. with a focus on food and nutrition for. large animals. She's thinking about what. kind of macronutrients do I need to feed.

these cows so that they can be peak. health. And Allan studied agriculture. with a focus on beef production. So he's. thinking, "What can I do to feed this. cow into meat?" So she's feeding them, he's killing them, and together they. were friends. Yeah. Since they. technically shared the same major, some. of their classes overlapped, and. sometimes they would share their little. notes back and forth. Allan was a whole. 2 years younger than Eileen, but they. had taken a ton of the same classes, and. they have really gotten to know each. other. They were hitting it off. They.

weren't a couple or anything, though. Like God no. Okay, Eileen liked Allan. and everything, but he was just a. friend. Allan felt the same way. They. were actually both in committed. relationships with other people. Their. friendship was strictly platonic, and of. course, you know, it's nice to have a. study buddy when they know all the. struggles of your particular major. So. Eileen and Allan's morning, it starts. with a lecture, some note-taking, another lecture, a short break for. lunch. The campus is pretty spread out, and it's summer times, and they try to.

savor these little walks in between. classes. Eileen would lift her hair off. her neck cuz it's it's really humid. And. she thought about her plans for that. evening. She's like, "Okay, once I get. out of classes, I got to do my. homework." And then she's like, "Wait, Allan, we're still meeting for coffee. after class, right? Your campus?" He's. like, "Yeah, we'll meet for coffee, and. I'll drive you home afterwards." So the. two agree to it. They go to the local. coffee shop after classes. They study, exchange notes, but also they caught. each other up on all the things that. were going on on campus. They talked. about their professors, fraternity.

parties, who hooked up with who, who. hooked up with who at sorority parties. It's genuinely just a stereotypical. college campus conversation. Now their. university has 12,000 students, so most. of the time they had no idea who each. other was talking about, but sometimes. it would overlap. They finished their. coffee. It's getting late. Allan's like, "Okay, well, let's go back to the car.". The parking lot is relatively empty. So. this coffee shop is basically on campus, and at this point everyone had made it. back to their dorms. Nobody was really.

there. So she opens the passenger side. door, and she's about halfway in. And. side note, Allan has a really funky car. in the best way possible. It's this. white on frog van. It's like a super. boxy, looks like a cute camper van. almost. It It's a truck with two seats. in the front, and the back is more of. like a U-Haul situation. So it's. covered, but think of it like a pickup. truck. Just a metal sheet floor. There. weren't any more seats. It wasn't. carpeted. It was just a metal floor.

It's cool. It's reliable. It's perfect. for a college student like Allan. But I. guess in other situations, like if you. were driving around your house at night, it might slightly resemble a kidnapper's. van, you know, like a stereotypical. kidnapper van. Anyway, Eileen opens the. passenger door. Allan is reaching for the driver door. They're both halfway in when all of a. sudden an ambulance van, or what looked. to be an ambulance van, screeches to a. stop just a few feet away from their. car. This is a van like the. the regular police drive. But the people.

driving this van were not pursuants of. justice. They were straight-up. criminals. There were seven men in that car. Two of. them rush out and start pulling Allan. away from the van. Another two run. towards the side where Eileen is, and by. the time that she's already halfway. inside the van, the men grab her by the. shoulders, pull her out, drag her to the. back of the car, open the trunk, and. shove her in. Within seconds, both Allan. and Eileen were shoved in the back of. Allan's car. Two men get in the front. They start driving. The rest of the men. follow in their little police van.

Eileen and Allan were terrified. These. people had come out of nowhere disguised. as a police ambulance, and now they were. being held hostage in Allan's own car. These kids have no enemies. These kids. have never dabbled in crime. They're. your stereotypical, run-of-the-mill. college students, and I say that with so. much respect because. I mean, why wouldn't you want to be. that? There was nobody in the parking. lot that had seen much of anything. There were no CCTV cameras in this side. of the parking lot that had witnessed. the kidnapping. The only thing The only.

evidence that something very, very bad. had happened. was while they were in the middle of a. struggle, the wallet in Allan's pocket had fallen. out onto the parking lot floor. That was. the only thing left behind that hinted. at anything anything happening to them. The criminals did not notice it. The. cars drove away, and as time passed, it. seemed like the two college kids were. being delivered to someone. That was. kind of the Because, you know, if these.

guys wanted to kill them or hurt them or. even take something from them, they. would have done it right now. They would. have done it already. But, instead, they. drove for about half an hour before. pulling up to this massive gated estate. One of the men gets out of the van, opens the door, drags out Eileen. She. adjusts her eyes, and in front of her is. this like sprawling mansion. And an older man walks out the front. door. The way he walks, the way he held his. shoulders back, his chest up, chin high, he was a man that wielded power. What.

kind of power? I don't know. Even his. shirt screamed power. We'll later find. out that this was like his signature. go-to. He always wore a crisp white polo. ironed to perfection, not a wrinkle in. sight, pure white, not even a tint of. yellowing or dulling of the fabric. This. was a man that was not to be messed. with. These seven men, they brought her. to him. Why? The man speaks. "Well, she's gorgeous. And who is that kid?" One of the men. answers, "Sorry, boss. He was with her,

and we had to bring him along to avoid. any complications.". The man nods, grabs Eileen by the arm, and drags her into the mansion, and let. the door slam behind them. The. kidnappers were just left with Alan now. So, they drag him to the guest house at. the back of the mansion where some of. the other employees of this powerful. white polo-wearing man are lounging on. the couch watching TV. So, for fun, the. kidnappers threw Alan on the ground, and. they start beating him up for fun. They're thinking, "Alan's a witness of. our crime. We have no plans to leave him. alive, so why waste a chance to be.

violent? We love violence. He was going. to die anyway.". That's what these people are thinking. They punch him, kick him, spit on him. Alan curled up into a ball in the fetal. position with his hands over his head. He's trying to protect himself, but. these four grown men are just viciously. attacking him. So, they would take turns. Some of the. men said that they didn't really beat. Alan. It was primarily four men. So, when they were done, one of the. kidnappers grabs a rifle from the van, walks over to Alan,

doesn't shoot him, but starts beating. him with the blunt end of the rifle. They leave Alan bloody, bruised, and. barely breathing on the gravel driveway. "Should we kill him now? Is he dead? I don't even think he's. breathing.". The man with the rifle said, "His death. will come later.". They continued to watch TV while their. boss was busy with Eileen. They thought. it was interesting, you know, he has. this fascination with the young college. student that he happened to see by. chance. He went as far as to order her.

kidnapping. He must have really been. taken by her. It's speculated either he. saw her out cuz maybe her neighbor is. his mistress, and she was outside, or he had driven by. the campus. Uh-huh. So, either way, it was just a passing. glance. He was known to be a ruthless. evil criminal boss, but this was a bit. wild even for them. The man dragged Eileen into his room and. they did not come out until 1:00 a.m. Her face was tear-stained, her wrists. were tied tightly together, her white.

shorts were missing, and she was. whimpering uncontrollably. The man was. wearing nothing but his signature white. polo shirt. "I'm through with her. Do what you want. with her. She's all yours.". "What about the other kid?". One kidnapper responded, "We're going to. kill him. So, there's not going to be. any loose ends. Don't worry, boss.". Eileen is standing right in front of. them when they said that. They did not. care. They dragged her and Alan back to. the trunk, and they get separated in the. two different vans now. So, the. kidnappers take both university. students, and this time they split them.

up in the two different vehicles. So, in. this little fake police van, some of the. kidnappers go and they take Eileen. Now, what's important is there's a lot of. windows on this fake police van because. it looks like a police van, right? So, it's she can see out the van. This is. important. In the other car, in Alan's. truck, which is pretty windowless, it's. just Alan in the back of the truck and. two kidnappers in the front. And Alan's. truck is driving in front of the police. van. So, Eileen can see this truck in. front of her, and she's freaking out. She's thinking of what to do. She's.

wondering if they're going to drop them. off and dump them somewhere and hope. that they don't remember their faces. But, instead, she sees Alan's van. swerving for about a mile. Now, this is. a remote area, so nobody saw it, no. other passersby, no other drivers were. on the road. But, we can assume that. Alan had woken up. and was trying to fight the kidnappers. Oh my god. For a mile? For about a mile, and then Eileen could hear two loud. bangs, and the car no longer swerved.

A mile later, they pulled over to the. side of the remote road. Eileen was. alive and conscious. The kidnappers. opened the back of Alan's van and drag. out 19-year-old Alan's body. They. literally let his body hit his own van's. bumper and fall to the side of the road. They drag him out like a sack of. potatoes. They drag him into the tall. grass a few feet off the highway. There's a trail of blood where they had. dragged him, and he had been shot twice. Eileen saw everything. She heard the gunshots. She saw them.

drag her friend's lifeless body. When. the van starts to move again, she's. absolutely petrified. I mean, now she's. really alone. The next time the van. stops, Eileen was moved to Alan's truck, so the flat metal truck bed, and she. couldn't see anything or any even. lights, like no civilization for miles. at least. Her eyes were adjusted to the. dark, and she's trying, she's praying. that someone would find her, but she. just sees like these sugarcane fields. They stop, and she's laying on the back. of the truck bed, and seven strange men.

are just towering over her. And one of them said, and I quote, "Let's go turbo on this girl the way. boss just did.". They took turns holding her down and. assaulting her. The entire time Eileen was sobbing. She. begged them to stop. They did not. listen. She at least begged them to be. gentle. They did not listen. There was. only one kidnapper who did not. participate in the assaults, and the. kidnappers tried to egg him on saying, "Don't you want to go now? She's all. yours now." "Nah, it's okay. I don't. feel like it.".

The rest of the men, they shrugged. They. reached into Alan's van when they were. done with her. So, all of them took. turns, pulled out one of the rifles, and Eileen reportedly begged for her. life. Reportedly, she said, "Please, you've. taken everything from me, my shame, my. honor, my dignity. Just spare my breath. It's the only thing I have left.". They shoved a dirty handkerchief into. her mouth to keep her from talking, and. she had this really pretty distinct. beauty mark on her left cheek.

They held up the rifle and pointed it at. that beauty mark, and pulled the trigger. They just left her in the van. They left. Alan's van like that. They left her in. the back of the van. They didn't even. bother cleaning anything up. Her shirt. was found exposing her whole body. There. were no pants, like. it was just bad. These kidnappers, they. pull up their own pants, get into the. police van, and drive off. Even on the. way back home, they're all laughing and. talking about the assault, giving a. play-by-play, laughing at her for.

begging for her life. They're talking. about it as if they just watched a. sports game. Each kidnapper was dropped. off one by one and was told to meet at. the same time again tomorrow. There was more work to be done. Meanwhile, the police are surveying for. um the drug runner Tissoy when they find. the bodies. The only police car to fit all of them. was a patrol car that looked like a. police ambulance, like a police. ambulance, a real one. And the. department was running out of money, so. it's not like the most incognito van. Now, officers Zoylo, Vicenzo, and Lewis,

they would sit in the back with a. folded-up stretcher and first-aid kit, while Deputy George and Officer Aurelio. sat in the front. This is day one of. their operation. Operation don't. disappoint the mayor and crack down on. the drug runner. So, catching a. notorious drug runner, it sounds. exciting, it sounds fun, but their task. was to just drive around hoping that. they would see him walking down a. sidewalk somewhere so that they could. start following and stalking the drug. runner. Most of the morning, they were just. faces glued to the sides of their.

windows driving around. The. testosterone-filled excitement from that. morning is dying. It's not as cool, it's not as Avengers. Marvel movie action as they thought. They're just driving around and filling. up the gas tank. So, now, the four other. officers wondered if Deputy George was. just getting them wrapped up in a. mission that was impossible. The next. morning, they wake up at the butt crack. of dawn. "Evil never sleeps," Deputy. George says. And then they would all get. back in the car, and they're driving. around looking for this drug runner. They start driving through an area.

called Imulk. It's about a 20-minute. drive from the university campus. So, they're on this semi-secluded road when. one of the officers perks up his seat. and is like, "Hey, what is that?" The van slows down, and. the other officers look out, and they. see a man laying in the tall grass next. to the side of the road. They roll their eyes. Okay, just their. luck. They're supposed to be out here. catching some They're They're supposed. to be doing some FBI Okay, catching a. drug drug runner. But, instead, they're. driving around acting like parking meter. cops, and now they're going to have to. wake up this drunk kid, probably a.

university kid that passed out after a. frat party in the freaking grass, give. him a lecture, send his booty home. This is not that exciting. This is like. low-level officer stuff. So, the ambulance pulls over to the side. of the road and reverse backs towards. the man. Officer Aurelio was driving, and he was like, "I'm just going to stay. in the car cuz this isn't even This is. below my pay grade." Officer George, Vicenzo, and Lewis get out, and they. cautiously approach the man. As they get. closer, they realize.

the drug runner might have to wait. Because laying beneath them was a young. man with two bullet wounds, one to his. head, one in the back. He was dead. They stood in silence, and. from the van, Officer Aurelio's. walkie-talkie beeped. Remember Officer. Zoylo? He's the other officer in the. little squad. He was at the station. doing paperwork, and he heard that there. had been a female body found by some. civilians nearby where Deputy George had. just reported this male dead body. He beeped them and was like, "You guys.

need to go get to that other body right. now, cuz civilians found a body." So, now Deputy George has two bodies on his. hands and a drug runner still on the. loose. The officers tape off the scene where. the male body was found. He leaves one. of the officers to guard the crime. scene, and the rest head over to the. other crime scene where they find. Aileen's body. She's found inside. Allan's van in the back of the cold. metal floor. Her shirt was pulled up, her. undergarments were around her ankles. I. mean, there were signs of bodily fluids. on and around her body. And also flowing.

out is kind of how they describe it. She. had a handkerchief stuffed in her mouth, and just like the man's body, she had a. bullet wound to the head. But for the. male body, they just found Allan's body. He had been shot at close range, but the. officers could tell that the gun had. been at least a foot or two away. So, it's very close, but it's. it's not. the damage is not going to be as severe. The damage done to this woman's face led. the police to believe that the gun was. touching her skin when it was shot. An.

entire portion of her face was missing. George felt his stomach drop. The girl. was obviously in her young 20s. Some. evil person had just come into his. jurisdiction and committed this. heartless, merciless crime. This poor. girl had suffered so much and had her. life ripped away from her when it was. only just beginning. He put a blanket over the woman's body. to try to give her some dignity in. death. The closest hospital was the. university hospital. I'm not sure why. they took the bodies there instead of to. a regular hospital, since it was obvious.

that there was nothing the doctors could. do to help them. So, why take them to. the closest hospital that's a university. hospital where there's a chance. that these victims could be university. students, cuz they're found close to the. university as well. Some reason, I guess. it just slipped their minds. George and. his team transported both bodies to the. morgue at the university hospital. And. there, the students at Los Baños. University recognize their friends and. classmates, Aileen and Allan. Aileen was a senior who was about to. graduate. She was really a special.

person to a lot of people on campus, and. I know that we have victims that almost. sound too perfect, like they lit up the. room when they walked in. You get it. But Aileen was really, really. fascinating. People said she was. she wasn't even trying to be this. amazing person, but she just naturally. was. On weekends, she would skip parties. to volunteer. She was very warm. Like, for example, if you were a little lonely. or no one wanted to go to the movie with. you, and you're like, "Oh my god, I. really want to see this movie this. weekend." Aileen wouldn't say anything,

but the next day she would show up at. school with two tickets to the movies, one for you and one for her. And she just had this like present. around her. People said, "If you hung. out with Aileen, you felt really safe.". You know those people that you just feel. very safe around? She was that fuzzy. blanket friend that makes you feel very. cozy. She was also super studious, and. her teacher said, "Okay, in class." You. know how sometimes kids ask really. random questions, and you're like, "Oh, this kid is trying to stall time. This. kid is trying to be funny. This kid is.

This kid is distracting." Aileen would. ask the most random questions, but she. was genuinely such a curious person. She. wasn't doing it to be a smart-ass. Her. teachers knew this, too. She just loved. She wanted to know everything about. everything, and she just had this big. brain that stored all this information. all the time. And as for Allan Gomez, he was kind of the opposite. Like, if. you were walking through the university, they said you would always hear this kid. laughing. Like, he was His laugh was. that contagious laugh where he would go. silent, and he would just be like.

breathing spurts, and then he would. snort randomly, and then even if you. don't even know what he's laughing. about, you're like walking past him in. the hallways, you kind of want to giggle. cuz you're like, "What is so funny?". That was Allan. He was just very goofy. He was very free-spirited. He loved to. make people laugh. He loved to be around. people. He's very sociable, and. these two students were good people, yes, but they were also so normal, and I. say that in the best way. Like, they.

didn't have any shady hobbies. They. didn't know any sketchy people. They had. no big um. like, there was no weird thing going on. around them. They were just so normal. Their family life was normal. Their. grades were great. They played Uno and. Monopoly on the weekends in their free. time. Like, how did these two. run-of-the-mill college students turn up. dead on the side of the road? Especially. the way that Aileen was found, she had. multiple cuts and bruises on her body as. well. Her hymen, which is inside of you,

had multiple shallow cuts. No. Yeah. So, it That wasn't expanded upon, and. I'm not a medical professional, but I. can kind of only imagine what might have. happened in that situation. Now, when Deputy Chief George walked on. scene, there was still white liquid that. was flowing out. It would test positive for male fluids, and it wasn't just one single person's. They didn't know exactly how many, but. it was It was clear evidence by the.

sheer amount that it was at least. multiple men that had violated I don't. want to say men, multiple monsters that. had violated Aileen and then left her. out for dead on the side of the road. like trash. It is said that the amount. of liquid was enough to fill a sardine. can. Was this random? Was someone stalking. her? Did someone target her? These were. the questions that the police had, because there was just no way that. Aileen and Allan were involved in. anything shady. It just didn't make. sense. And not that being involved in. gray area activities or illegal. activities warrants murder or death like.

this, but it was really puzzling. Everyone at the university, all the kids. nearby couldn't help but wonder, "Am I. next?" So, when everyone heard the news. that Aileen was gone, they all wondered. originally, maybe she was in a tragic. car accident. Maybe she got hit by a. car. Maybe stray gunfire from a gang. fight. No one thought it would be. anything like this. Now, authorities believed that Aileen. was the main target, and perhaps Allan. was killed because he just happened to.

be there with Aileen. There was no. evidence that Allan had been abused. He. did have multiple bruises made by blunt. objects. He had scrapes all over his. face, arms, back, a lot of bruising, and. two gunshot wounds, but the difference. in what the killers did to Aileen versus. Allan made them believe that they were. after Aileen. Most of the damage was. done to her, and the gunshot wound. directly, very close range, touching her. face, it looked personal. So, Major. Conyo, he is the top of the police. station, so on top of Deputy George.

Major Conyo believed that Allan might. have been kidnapped and killed just. because he's a witness, right? But. Deputy George told his boss, "I have a. different theory, boss." Deputy Chief. George believed that Allan was the. killer. Hm? He said, "Think about it.". This is Deputy George George's theory, okay? Allan did it. Aileen was found in. his car. They knew each other. Aileen. was easily one of the prettiest girls on. campus, and any guy would want to be. with her. Why wouldn't Allan want to be. with her? Why wasn't Allan her.

boyfriend? Because she already had one. Aileen rejects Allan's advances using. some excuse like, 'We're just not. compatible' or 'I only think of you as a. friend' or 'I've got a boyfriend, sorry.'. Aileen did it nicely, of course. She's a. nice girl, and she's always mindful of. other people's feelings. And Allan. pretended that everything was okay. But. boss, I recently got a report Allan was. seen in a physical altercation with. another college student named Kit. Oh, yeah. Kit was the new boyfriend of.

Allan's ex-girlfriend, and Kit dumped. the ex-girlfriend. Very complicated, I. know. Stay with me here, because Kit is. kind of important. Allan went to fight. Kit. He's like, "Why'd you break up with. my ex-girlfriend in such a heartless. way? You hurt her heart." Kind of weird. That's what? But Allan ends up losing. the fight, getting upset, getting. embarrassed, humiliated, and what do a. lot of humiliated men do? They start blaming it on women. This is. what This is what Deputy Chief George is. thinking, not me. And who is the woman.

that he is most most angry at? The one. that rejected him, of course. Aileen. So, according. of mental car wheels going on. Yeah. So, according to Deputy George's. original theory, original theory, Allan. is a borderline incel. Do we have proof? No, not really. But he continues. His. ego is bruised. He blames it on women. So, he invites Aileen to a platonic. coffee date like old times to show her, "You know what? Even if you rejected me, we can still be friends, and there's no. hard feelings.".

She accepts. The meeting goes well. She. lets him drive her home, and that's when. he assaults her and kills her to take. revenge on women and build up his ego. again. He leaves her in the car and. takes a walk. But during this walk, all. the guilt starts to hit him, but more. than the guilt, he knows he knows he's. going to be caught. There's too much. evidence. So, using the same gun that he used on. Aileen, he uses it on himself. Twice. Twice. Things like this do happen. People have killed people for rejecting. them. But basic evidence disproves this.

very, very. rudimentary theory, honestly. First of. all, Allan is not an incel. Just trust me on that one. Two, if Allan. shot himself, how did he get a bullet. wound made by a gun that was at least a. couple feet away from him? Second of all, how did he have a bullet. wound on his back? And the gun wasn't. found at the crime scene. That doesn't. make sense. There's no blood trail and. evidence that Allan could have disposed. of this gun after inflicting these shots. to his body. Third, there was enough. bodily fluid to point to many, many our.

worders or killers. So, Allan and who else? Who are these people? Where are they. now? Major Conyo, Deputy Chief George's. boss, politely pulled him to the side. Don't be an idiot, okay? Yeah, that's. all I got to say. Don't be an idiot. Alan is not the killer. I don't know if. you're lacking sleep because you're. chasing the drug runner, but go drink a. coffee and regroup. So, Deputy Chief. George chugs coffee and he's like,

"Okay, maybe he's right. Yeah, maybe." I. mean, that was crazy, right? The most. important piece of evidence that they. have right now, the thing that could. bring this whole case down was found by. a citizen, not even the police. So, the. police, not even just Deputy Chief. George, but the whole police unit, they're dropping the ball on this case. I don't know if they didn't know how to. work a murder investigation or what's. going on. So, the police, they're doing. their rounds asking all the residents of. the area, "Have you guys seen anything? Have you heard anything that might be. connected to the murders? Anything. suspicious?" And one resident was like,

"I don't know if this matters, but I got. something. I found this along that road that the. boy was found.". A single bullet casing. Okay, this just adds to the incompetence. of the police right now. They're. supposed to be tracking down the biggest. drug runner in the area, and this is how. you run things? I mean, no wonder the. drug runner hasn't been caught. So, this. little bullet casing, if you've ever. shot a gun, um. okay, if you've never shot a gun, I. guess, and you don't know how guns or a. bullet casing is, it's basically the.

shell of a bullet. Every bullet has a. casing. It's this metal cylinder, that's. the casing, and then the bullet comes. out of it and it into a rounded point. There's gunpowder in the middle. When a. gun is fired, that gunpowder explodes. the tip of the bullet into whatever. direction, and the casing, the little. cylindrical bullet, it just falls to the. floor. It doesn't really fall. Sometimes. it shoots up and like Mhm. falls maybe a. feet away, two feet away. Sometimes the. distance is right there. It flies out. and it's left near where the gun is.

shot. Now, not all bullets fit all guns. Think of a gun like a jar and a bullet. like a lid. If you have a similar jar, sometimes you can put the same lid on, but it's not one size fits all. The. resident found the casing on the side of. the road near where Alan was found, which is not unreasonable. That is where. it could have flown after the bullet was. fired. That doesn't necessarily mean the. casing was attached to the same bullet. that killed Alan. It could have been a. different shooting, but there's a strong. possibility. This casing was not the strongest piece. of evidence, but as of right now, it.

kind of was. It was like the most. important thing because they're waiting. on the DNA from the semen found on. Eileen. That was another priority. They. would get tested first. So, the semen. would get tested, and while they wait. for results, they would search for. fingerprints in the van. They would. check underneath the students'. fingernails for any DNA, and then they. would go around to checking the bullet. casing. Whoever killed Eileen and Alan, they were still out there. There was a. huge university just 20 minutes away. from where the bodies are found. About. 12,000 college students are living in. danger each day that the police do not.

find the killers, and so far it seems to. be a lot of killers. They could strike. again. So, they put every piece of. evidence from this case as top of the. forces' priority list. But it's like the. deeper they get into investigating this. case, weird things start happening. Remember. Officer Aurelio, Deputy Chief George's. right-hand man, the one that was in the. car the very afternoon that the bodies. had been discovered? He noticed. something so strange. He didn't say. anything about it because I think in the.

Philippines it's, you know, I think in a. lot of Asian cultures, it's very hard to speak out against. superiors. But, um, while his fellow. detectives were investigating the. evidence and were bagging up more. evidence, he was sent to the municipal. hall to do something, like casework. And. he saw the white van, Alan's white van, the one where Eileen was killed, the one. that was probably filled with evidence. and DNA and fingerprints. Someone was diligently scrubbing every. inch of that truck.

The man cleaning the van was wearing a. prison uniform. So, he was a prisoner of. the municipal hall, so he was obviously. acting under orders because these. prisoners would be ordered to clean. stuff all the time. Whoever it was, though, they were way high up. Aurelio just thought that was weird. Wait, so someone high up in the police. station ordered Could be police station, could be the municipal hall, could be. the government. Someone, just someone. high up. a high-up official. Yeah, cuz Aurelio is just a cop. Mhm. Like Deputy George, just a cop.

So, this is like a high-up Yeah. like complicated, hidden Mhm. order. That's weird. evidence right now. Oh, yeah. Like the same day the bodies. are found. But only someone with a lot. of authority could do that, and Aurelio. was way below them in rank to even. question it cuz you don't know which of. your direct superiors could be connected. to these higher-ups, and then you don't. want to. So, he didn't say anything. It wasn't. his place to question. So, he just shook. his head and walked inside. But either.

way, it was clear Alan did not do this. to Eileen and to himself. The police. pivot, and they have a new theory. forming. Remember Kit, the one that Alan. had gotten into a fight with, the other. college student, over the ex-girlfriend? Maybe he killed Alan. They already got. into a physical altercation. Who's not. to say that he came back to finish Alan? So, the police went and they talked to. Kit, the ex-girlfriend's ex-boyfriend, the guy that Alan fought. They talked to. Kit, and Kit is like, "I mean, yeah, we. did punch each other in the face, but.

that was like 3 months ago. We're all. good now." You punched the guy, and you. expect me to believe you guys are all. buddy-buddy now? Yeah. That's the whole point. We fought it. out. We said what needed to be said. No hard. feelings. Then why is there blood on your pants? Kit looked down. Oh. I punched a wall earlier. I guess I got. some blood on my pants. Like honestly, what is going on? The raging red flag. Why is this kid out here punching walls. to the point that he's bleeding? And if. truly he was, why would he be admitting.

something like that to the cops? That. makes him look like the shadiest college. student on campus. The police investigate his little toxic, dramatic, punching the wall till my. knuckles bleed story, and he's actually telling the truth. His. knuckles were busted. They found the. hole in the wall, and people reported. seeing him punching it until he bled. That and friends of both Kit and Alan. had not noticed any animosity between. the two. They were like, "Oh, yeah, they. fought and they were chill now." So, this theory turned out to be another. dead end. And then another curious thing. happens. Remember how police officer.

Aurelio saw the prisoner. being ordered to wash the van, aka the. crime scene, aka Alan's van, the van. with all the evidence? Well, he vanishes. in the middle of the investigation. Just. falls off the face of the earth. Nobody. hears from him. No, Aurelio, the officer. Oh. Nobody hears from him. Nobody knows. where he is. Nobody, not even his. family. It's alarming. It's coincidence? We don't know. We're about to find out. There's so many. layers to this. I'm sorry.

At this point, Officer Aurelio is. missing, but his. Squad, his police squad, can't even look. for him because they've got a big murder. to solve. So, they end up going to the. mayor's house while this is all going. down. And the mayor becomes important. The crime scene is like a couple blocks. away from his place, which is a [ __ ]. show, so everyone's like, "We need to up. the security. What's going on? Is the. drug runner coming after the mayor? Is. this a drug runner sending a signal to. the mayor because this happened almost. immediately after he had ordered the. investigation into the drug runner? This.

is a sign for the mayor to back off, right?" So, they go to the mayor and. they're like, "You need to do something. I think you need extra security detail.". And Mayor Sanchez, I'm telling you, it's dangerous. Now, Mayor Sanchez is. kind of an interesting man, okay? He's. the type of man that's not really. scared. He's like, "God will protect me. Don't. worry." And the police are like, "No, you don't understand, okay? Drug runners. may or may not believe in God, so if. they're coming after you, you need to.

get someone at your door." And he's. like, "Okay, I'll pray about it." And. they're like, "This is not And just side. note about this guy in general, okay? But apparently, he's actually doing a. pretty good job at being a mayor. He's a. devout man of God, but he's very. compassionate, kind-hearted, supported a. lot of charities. But he is, um, controversial because he's very obsessed. with Botox and filler, and spends at least 20 minutes every. morning doing his hair in front of the. bathroom mirror. So, he's just kind of. out there. He's like, "Oh, I don't need. guards. God will protect me." So, at.

this point, the police are too busy to. even entertain this guy. They're like, "Okay, whatever, whatever. We need to. get the forensic evidence back." The. analysis of the evidence had finished. sometime in July. For reference, Eileen. and Alan's bodies were found June 29th. So, it's relatively quick, but not that. quick. The police knew that more than one man. had arworded Eileen prior to her death, but after the DNA analysis, they had an. exact number. Seven. Seven men had brutally taken. advantage of and arworded this.

21-year-old student. Seven separate. people who probably, I mean, all of them. had mothers, maybe wives, maybe. daughters, had not only been complicit. in watching Eileen get brutally. violated, but had participated in. traumatizing her and later in her. murder. They tried to run the DNA, and there was. no match in the system. Whoever did this to Eileen and Alan had. never been caught for any other crime in. their life. For me, those odds sound. strange. You're telling me seven. separate people who are so evil they.

would torture, arword, and murder a. young woman, and on top of that they. killed her friend simply because he was. there. This is not a first crime type of. situation. To do something so horrible, you must have done other crimes. beforehand. But the chances that all seven of them. have never been caught for anything? How. in the world did they fly under the. radar for so long? But more on that. later. Then there was one last piece of. evidence, the bullet casing. The bullet. was a 5.56 mm caliber bullet. There are.

over 100 different types of guns that. can take that bullet, but but, and a big. but, this bullet casing had a couple. scratches in it. They're called. striations. So, when a bullet gets. fired, the bullet doesn't just shoot. straight out of the gun. It actually. spins, and the bullet itself rotates. with the casing inside of the gun for. like the tiniest fraction of a second, and when it rotates, the outside of the. bullet scrapes against the inside of the. bullet chamber as it spins, and it. bursts out leaving these microscopic. marks on the bullet. They're like teeny,

tiny little scratches. Each gun It's. different, right? Yes, has a unique pattern of scratches. Not I don't It's not to say like every. single gun, but like each model of gun. And it's not on purpose. It's like the. firearm version of a fingerprint. Now, this bullet had one gun's fingerprint. all over it. And all the police had to do was figure. out which gun shot it. But till then, they had to try and figure out a way to. please the increasingly desperate, terrified, and heartbroken public. Can. you blame them? They felt like the.

police were not doing enough. The public. was scared. They put up signs and. banners around the university. They were. dissatisfied with the current progress. They marched, protested, they chanted, "We the scholars of the nation demand. justice." There's added layers of. context and culture to this, but in the. Philippines, it's very difficult to get. into college. And, you know, it's kind. of different from the US where. Can I say it? Like, we have a lot of fun majors in the. US, you know, but when you get to.

college in the Philippines, like people. are really focused. Like, they're. dedicating their whole lives. It's very. hard, and the fact that these university. students it seemed like they were. targeted and the police are not even. catching the killers. It's like this we. are the future of the the country. We. are literally giving up our youth to be. the future of this country, and you. don't care when we're killed? It's very. frustrating for people. So, they all actually all gather. together, and they're like, "We need to. do something, okay? Forget these. police." So, they all gather together,

and they make these organized groups, and I'm telling you, college kids, that's where it starts. Like, students. really. they make a lot of moves. So, they get. everyone together, and they're like, "We. need to ask all the neighbors, see if. anybody saw anything suspicious at all. So, we heard they were in some sort of. like police van. So, we need to see if. anyone saw any sort of police van, and. who was driving it." They go around. taking notes, and all these notes match. up to one person. They get a composite. sketch artist, and they sketch out the. driver of a police van.

Now, it looked more like a missing. person than it did a killer, though. Mhm. It looked like Officer Aurelio, the. right-hand man to Deputy George, the. driver of the police van. The one that. saw Allan's van being cleaned. The one. that vanished. It looked exactly like. him. To be fair, he was driving a police. van that day. So, whether it's like they. thought it was that police van or. something, or. or maybe it's a setup, we don't know. Now, a few people in this case we're. about to talk about get waterboarded. So, that's a whole thing. But back to.

the gun casing that had microscopic. scratches. Major Conyo, he personally investigated. the bullet casing, and he ran the. scratch pattern through the system of. registered guns in the country, and they. got a hit. They got a match. The bullet. casing found near Allan's body belonged. to M-16 rifle with the serial number. 773159. The M-16 is a standard-issue police. rifle in the Philippines. Serial number. 773159. belonged to Mr. Lewis Corklin.

Deputy Chief George went out the first. day with his partner Aurelio and three. other low-ranked officers. Do you. remember their names? Zoilo, Vicenzo, Lewis. Strange, but another but. Lewis had. handed in his gun. It was registered under his name, but he. actually wasn't carrying it, and he. hadn't been carrying it for most of the. month. When the officers scanned the. analysis paper, they saw that he handed. in his gun the day the bodies were.

discovered. So, after Yeah. Uh-huh. So, things are getting kind of shady. Before the officers could even contact. him for an interrogation, on July 12th, Lewis turns himself in. He walks into. the police station along with his. brother, Boy, who is also a police. officer, and they said that they were. both involved in the R and murder of. Eileen and Allan. They said, "Yes, we were involved, but. we didn't do it alone, and we were under. orders to do it." They told the police.

that the guilt from what they had done. was weighing down on them, and they were. ready to tell the whole story. Lewis and his brother, the two police. officers, they start talking about how a. week before the murders, they had been. approached by a man named Lavadia. Apparently, he worked for a very. powerful man, the notorious general of. the Filipino army, General Barako. Interesting man, if you can call him. that. He ran for office a few times, but. uh he got a lot of [ __ ] on because um he. threatened his opponent and said that he. was going to chop him up to pieces, add.

salt, and feed him to his dog, verbatim. It wasn't even like a. literally verbatim an active threat. But. he lost. He lost, and then he decided, "You know what? I think I'm okay with my. mountain of power." Still a general. Still a general, and his family is even. more interesting. And And maybe. interesting is not the right word. Just evil. His father was obsessed with. Hitler. His father named his three sons. Dictator, Blitz, and Krieg. Krieg is. German for war. So, Jeez. Barako's first name is Dictator,

which gets confusing when you're like, "General Dictator Barako." It's not a. rank in the military. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's his um that's his first name. Wow. Yeah. So, uh Lavadia told Lewis that. right now Barako is not a happy man. Someone had messed with his son, and he. did not take that lightly. Now, just. remember, this guy has been linked with. multiple human rights violations, crime. syndicates, drug traffickers, and a coup. attempt back in the '80s. So, when he. hears that his son is in a fight, you.

think that this guy is like, "Oh, no, my. son was in a fight. Did I raise him. wrong? Do I need to have a conversation. with him?" No, his train of thought is. more, "Who is my son fighting, and why. didn't my son take care of him?". No, you're telling me the son is the. wall-punching dude? Wall-punching dude, Kit. Wow. Yeah. Kit. The guy that got into a fight. with Allan, a fellow college student. Apparently, So, that makes sense, though. Like, now. you see why someone would punch a wall.

So, yeah, Lavadia goes to Lewis and is. like, "You're going to do this for the. general." And he's like, "Well, I can't. do it alone, so I got to get my brother. involved." And they commit this crime. with a few other people. Now, the. police, the good police, they sit on the. other end of this interrogation table. looking at Lewis like he's lost his. mind. They honestly don't even believe a. single word that he said. They don't. tell him that, though. They say, "Okay.". And they ship him off to another police. station to be interrogated. And it. sounds like they're shipping him off to. a new police station because, you know,

there's a lot of personal ties at this. police station, right? Wrong. Not. entirely. This specific police station. has. a specialty. They 100% like to cross the. ethical line with their interrogation. tactics, and to put it as simply as. possible, they are big, big stans of. waterboarding, starvation, violent. interrogations, and they happen to be. fond fans of electrocution during. interrogations. They tortured Lewis and. his bro- brother Boy. They just don't. believe it. You know, you're going to. kill your son's university student. friends because of a love triangle?

Like, even for a general that is as bad. as General Dictator, it's it's just kind. of crazy. It's very unhinged. Not to say. that he's not unhinged, but it's just. weird. So, through the police, through. their. not-so-legal techniques, they're able to. find out that the two brothers were. working for someone, a very high-up. official, but it wasn't the general. It was someone else. They knew who it. was now. So, they marched straight up to. the killer's home, knock on the door, and there he was, standing there in his.

signature pristinely ironed white polo. shirt. Mayor Sanchez, can we ask you a few. questions, please? They invited him, and they start. grilling him. Mr. Mayor, um what were you doing the. night of June 28th, 1993? The 28th? Oh, that's been so long. I don't I don't. know if I I don't know if I remember. Oh, actually, yes, I do. Go on. Yeah. I'll tell you, but don't go spreading it. around. I was with Elvira.

Elvira? My mistress. I was there in the morning, over in the bay. So, bay is about 4 mi. away from the university. I stayed the. morning. I said bye to the kids on their. way to school, and I ate breakfast with. Elvira. Then I left in the afternoon to. go back to Manila, and I wasn't back. home until about 10:00 p.m. Okay, thank. you. And Mr. Mayor, now, can you tell me. what you know about the Eileen case? Oh, a lot. I was told the very same day. that two people had been found murdered. near my house. I was enraged. I ordered. a prompt and thorough investigation to.

prevent any sort of cover-up. The truth. is the most important thing, remember? I. will not hesitate to have the. perpetrators of this crime killed, whether a general's son is involved or. not. Son of a [ __ ]. No freaking way. Yeah. Do you uh. do you think Who do you think might have. committed that crime? So, side note for. my viewers, if the police ever ask you. if you have any guesses off the top of. your head who you think did it, do not. answer. Do not take a guess. Ask for a.

lawyer, because guess what? They think. you did it. They will never ask you that. unless they think you're the one. So, what happens if I say a name? Like, does. that mean trouble? It's not the name that gets you in. trouble, but it's the way that you start. rambling, cuz you can't just say a name. without explanation. So, you're like, "Oh, I think. like you look kind of guilty by. like. pointing finger at so-and-so. And then you could accidentally lie. trying to make that person look even. more guilty. And when you get caught in.

one lie, they're going to try to catch. you in another and another, and then all. these lies are going to create a. mountain of evidence that's going to be. thrown at you during the trial. Well, speaking of the general's son, I did. hear that the victim and Kit, the. general's son, got into a vicious fight. months before the victim turned up dead. on the side of the road. Unfortunately, our country has a problem with. high-status people getting drunk on. power. And if the general saw Alan as a. threat to his family, it might be worth. checking out.

It's very interesting that the mayor. brings up Kit, just like how Lewis and. Boy originally brought up Kit because. they were. before they were waterboarded, of. course. So, were they on the same page? How does. the mayor know about Kit? It's weird. Officer Aurelio hadn't been seen since. June 30th. He had disappeared, remember? His coworkers were concerned, but they. didn't have time to look for him. On. August 10th, a little a little over a. month after Eileen and Alan's bodies. were found, federal agents arrested him. at a huge flea market in Manila.

Because he was the one driving that. police van. And he was very, very close. with the mayor. The day Aurelio disappeared, guess where. was the last place he was spotted? He. was seen walking into the mayor's house. He walked in, stayed for a while, then. walked out, and that was the last anyone. saw of him until he was arrested. So, while you can't book anyone because. they look like a drawing, you can bring. them in for an interrogation. The police. found him at the flea market, brought. him in for questioning along with. officers Zoilo, Vicencio, and Chief.

Deputy George. All of the ones that were working on the. drug run operation with Officer Lewis, they were all now being questioned. So, this whole drug operation is not really. about drugs. Yeah. It was not about drugs. Every single one. of them was in on it. These are the. killers, the officers. That's freaking crazy. are the killers, and the mayor is the. one that ordered it. That is so blatant. Which explains the very theory that Alan.

was the one who did it because to them, they want to clean it up as neatly as. possible. They can't catch another. killer because they're going to be like, "I'm innocent, what are you talking. about? There's no evidence that ties. anybody else to it." It's the cleanest. if Alan had done it. They can wrap up. the case, tie a little ribbon on it, and. move about their days. But they also. like there's no way this is all of their. first crime. No way. do something this this this disgusting. and gross. blatant Yeah. of people. So, like imagine how much. they are covering. Yeah. So, at first,

these five men were not cooperating. They were not giving any answers to the. police. So, they were sent to be. waterboarded. One by one, um, the. answers started spilling out like a. glass of water that was knocked over. Aurelio was first. He's like, "Okay, I'll tell you what happened, right?" And. Vicencio followed suit, and together. these two men would become the. prosecutor's star witnesses. I thought. you said there's seven people. Right. now, there's five, right? And then plus. the. So, there's one more. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, the brother. The brother was.

involved, but there's actually another. person that's involved. It gets really. weird because one of these people. doesn't actually get charged with a. crime. So, uh, what happened that day? So, remember the drug runs where they. were driving around? They were not. looking for the drug runner. They were. looking for Eileen. Now, there are. different stories on how the mayor even. ran into Eileen, but some people say she. interviewed him for the school's. newspaper. Another version says that Eileen was the. neighbor of his mistress. And he had seen her outside.

Or he had gone to the university campus. cuz he frequents there a lot and had. seen her. And Eileen was beautiful. She. had dark hair, fair skin. She had a. distinct beauty mark on her left cheek. When she smiled, it was, um, known to be. kind of like a very charismatic trait of. hers. Regardless, whenever the mayor found out. about Eileen, he decided he wanted her. He didn't care that she could have been. young enough to be his daughter, or that. she was a resident of a town full of. people he was supposed to protect, or a.

university student, or just a general. human being. He did not care. To him, she was just a thing that he wanted. And with someone with that much power, when they want something, they get it. So, these cops, they drove. around until they found Eileen. They did. not expect Eileen to be with, um, Alan. at the time, but it was either. disappoint the mayor or kill another. university student. And they thought, "Well, if we're already killing one, what's two?". So, in less than 5 seconds, they were.

dragged into the back of the van, brought to the mayor's house, where the. mayor had his way with Eileen, and then. disposed of her. Like. Her life ended because because what? Liter- I can't even go there. The two. university students were ordered to be. killed. Now, the people involved were. the five officers that we talked about. The mayor was clearly involved, but also. Lewis's brother, so another police. officer, and the mayor's gardener, Pepito. He was involved. He was at the.

house watching TV in the back guest. house, remember? Uh-huh. And then he. just like randomly got involved. And. then he was like, "You know what? I want. to kill Alan, and I want to go R word a. university student. So, let me get in. the van with you." He left the house to. go do that. So, they take the two university. students, they drive them out to a. remote area about 20 minutes away, and. they killed them. And the next day, they all play good. cop. They come across the bodies. They. find the bodies. Lewis turns in his.

rifle without an explanation. He just. checks it back into the armory at the. station. He said he didn't want to lug. it around anymore. He wanted to take his. name off the registration for the gun. We now know that he was trying to. separate the gun serial number from his. name just in case, but that's not how it. works. The police records just don't. disappear because you turn in the gun. They go through all possible leads, and. the only reason that they even found. that bullet casing is because, remember. they were going door to door, and one of. the civilians turned it in. Well, Vicencio was doing rounds with an.

unaffiliated officer when the resident. showed them the casing, and his partner. was actually a good, ethical person, and. now Vicencio had to take the shell into. evidence and hand it over to Major Conyo. because if he doesn't, you know, everyone's going to suspect him, and it. wasn't even his gun that it was attached. to. Meanwhile, Officer Aurelio, even though. he saw the van being washed, he was. starting to get very angsty. He had. heard that civilians saw the driver of. the police van and were ready to do a. composite sketch. He knew that that. would be him. He was the driver. So, he.

skipped town. He demanded to get some. money out of the mayor, and he skipped. town. That's why he vanished. So, this. is the version that they were told and. people generally accept as the truth. There are a couple of things to note, though. It could mostly be the truth, but I feel like we're not getting the. whole story. For one, police officers. had to torture the men to get this story. out of them. Aurelio and Vicencio got. tortured less, and since they agreed to. talk, they, um, I would just say that they probably.

downplayed their personal involvement. Like Aurelio was like, "I didn't even R. word her because I felt compassion." And. he's trying to It's very convenient, right? But you never felt compassion. Like you felt fine about kidnapping her, delivering her to an R word her, and. then watching her get R worded by all. your coworkers afterwards, but you felt. too bad to R word her. But you're okay. with everything else. You felt compassion, but then you didn't. even protest when she was murdered and. left for dead in the sugarcane field? I don't believe that. Also, Aurelio and. Vicencio said that on their way back.

home, all the other officers were. bragging about what they did, but they. did not participate in that. They felt. sick to their stomach. Also very. convenient. But I do believe the gist of. this story. I do think that their roles. in this version of events is heavily. minimized, but overall, the story. clears. That's the one that the police. cleared as well. It explained why Eileen. and Alan were murdered and left on the. side of the road. It explained who they. were working for. It even explained why. Aurelio saw a prisoner cleaning the van.

because the mayor ordered it. See, that's also confusing cuz like. these five people was handpicked by. mayor. Why these five? So, he believed these. are the ones that would. be the most corrupt. So, a few of them. already worked with the mayor and. probably committed crimes for the mayor. But I think maybe the mayor had word. I'm assuming the mayor had his fingers. all dipped in all sorts of dirty. activities. So, maybe these cops were. already corrupt. Yeah, it's just so it. just leaves a feeling like who do I.

trust in this police station? If you're. saying these five, I picked these five, and these five willing to kill, and do. all of this, I'm like, "Okay, what does. that say about everyone else and what. they've done before?" Like what what. have they already gotten away with? Yeah. And the mayor was the one that. told all these officers to blame Kit and. maybe even Kit's father. Now, the police. arrested the mayor at his residence, and. the media was ready for him. He was. arrested in his crisp white polo shirt, thrown in handcuffs, and he said that he.

was being framed. The whole trial, he. denied everything. He said Aurelio and. Vicencio had made up the story under. pressure from the waterboarding, and. that he had nothing to do with the. crime. He was really dramatic about it, too. He's like, "I have no involvement. in the crime. It was a love triangle. that was pinned on me. Truly, I am. innocent. Even if the world sinks, let. the guilty ones die if I am to blame.". I don't know if that makes sense. In the. end, DNA analysis matched Aurelio and. Vicencio's testimonies. The mastermind. was Mayor Sanchez. Four of the original.

five, Deputy Chief George, Lewis, Zoilo, and Vicencio, they were arrested and charged. The two. men they picked up before the crime, Pepito the gardener and Boy Lewis's. brother, they were also charged. All seven men. were found guilty. So, out of everyone, Aurelio was the only one that wasn't. arrested, which is crazy. But maybe they. really needed his testimony. The court gave them each one life. sentence for every instance of that. Eileen had to suffer, so seven each. In.

the Philippines, a life sentence is. called reclusion perpetua, which is 40. years. So, each man was sentenced to a. total of 280 years in prison. So, it's. basically life. But, each person got 280. years in prison. 40 for each instance of. R word. Mhm. Even if you only R worded. her once. Now, the judge presiding over. the case released a statement and he. said that this was a crime that was. hatched in hell. He said that each one. of these men were complicit and. participated in watching a university.

student get assaulted seven times. They. let her watch. as her friend Allan died. And then they. took her life and all of that is just so. cruel. To submit her, this young woman, to see. her friend die and then to know that she. was next. Like, the amount of fear and. trauma in those very last moments while. they tortured her. They should all rot and die in prison. And everyone thought case closed.

Till 24 years later. Barely halfway. through just one of the life sentences. that each man got, the Bureau of. Corrections director signed a piece of. paper that would set the mayor free. Basically, on good behavior, they said. The public was disgusted. They were not. happy with the situation. They did not. want the mayor released. He had been. convicted of masterminding the R word. and murder of two innocent college. students. He. I mean, like, how does a prison system. let a monster like this r- g- go? I.

mean, people were wondering. What year was that? You said 24 years. later? So, recently. I mean, Eileen and Allan's. mothers held a media interviews, organized protests, filed appeals to. prevent the mayor from getting released. The public's main question that they had. was so, money still talks, huh? Like, this is what happens. It just. didn't make sense. Filipinos came by the hundreds to. protest in front of the Department of. Justice in Manila. They held signs that.

said, "Go turbo on Sanchez. Don't let. him go.". It was a reference to how one of the. offenders said that they would go turbo. on Eileen after the mayor R worded her. The president at the time, thankfully, listened to the public rage. He fired. the Bureau of Corrections director for. encouraging the mayor's release and. guaranteed the public that the mayor. would die in prison. And he did. March of 2021, he had a. chronic kidney disease. He was found. unconscious and unresponsive in his cell.

at 7:00 a.m. They took him to the. hospital where he was pronounced dead. As far as we know, the other six men are. still alive and they are going to live. the rest of their lives in prison. And I just want to say, this is not a. Philippines issue. I think in every. single country, the police departments. have issues. There are always going to. be evil people that use influence and. power to do the most unthinkable, despicable things to the very people. that they are promised to protect. We've. got disgusting religious leaders. We've.

got disgusting police officers, politicians, government officials, even. professors, people that are doctors, people that are literally sworn in to. protect people that are doing. unthinkable things. But, there are some good ones in this. story. Major Conyo, the head of the. police department, did not let his. subordinates get away with this, even. though it made his whole department look. so, so horrible. The The major was not scared to go up. against the general, the mayor, anybody.

He was willing to take down any. official. There were countless other. colleagues who helped them who helped. him investigate their own colleagues and. take them down. They were the ones that stood by their. oaths, you know, even when it got hard. So, there are good, diligent people out. there that are still doing everything in. their power to do the right thing. They. helped bring justice to Eileen and. Allan's family and I just hope that. Eileen and Allan's family can at least. sleep at night knowing that the people.

who did this to their children will. never, ever have the opportunity to do. this to anybody else. And I think that. maybe they can harness the power of the. country coming together. I mean, the. public really showed up for this case. They fought for justice for Eileen and. Allan and it's not going to make up for. their absence or what happened to them, but I just hope it's the first step to. healing. And that is the story of what happened. to two very beloved university students. in the Philippines.

What are your thoughts? Please stay safe. out there and I will see you guys on. Sunday for the minisode. Bye.
