## Resource

This episode details three harrowing cases of extreme violence and premeditated crime occurring in Mexico and the United States. It outlines the brutal murder of Salma Yahaira by her ex-boyfriend, a professional cook who used his skills to mutilate her remains to prevent identification. The narrative also examines the cold case of Iracema Chávez Sánchez, whose homicide was solved fourteen years later through innovative genetic genealogy that linked a drop of blood to a close friend. Finally, it recounts the miraculous survival of Tarius Phillips, a young boy who escaped a serial torturer known for breaking his victims' bones. Together, these accounts highlight the depravity of the attackers, the resilience of survivors, and the evolving forensic technologies used to seek justice.
