Warning, the following podcast is not suitable for all audiences. We go into great detail with every case that we cover and do our best to bring viewers even deeper into the stories by utilizing disturbing audio and sound effects.
Trigger warnings from the stories we cover may include violence, rape, murder, and offenses against children.
This podcast is not for everyone. You have been warned.
Our story begins in the early morning hours of August 24th, 2016. The police in Albuquerque, New Mexico were responding to a call about a domestic dispute at an apartment complex. When they finally arrived and entered apartment 808, they couldn't help but notice the smoke that filled the unit, and the smell that came with it.
The fire alarms were blaring as they made their way towards the source of that smoke, and soon enough they were led to a bathroom. But they had absolutely no idea the nightmare they were about to uncover. As it turns out, this was far more than a domestic dispute. As the officers opened up that door, they saw a body in the bathtub.
The victim had been dismembered, their organs had been removed, and they had been set on fire. But almost immediately, the officers noted how small the victim was. As it turns out, The body in the bathtub was that of 10-year-old Victoria Martins. She had been killed on her 10th birthday. But the story of how she got into that bathtub was even more devastating than the scene in front of them.
For Victoria's 10th birthday, instead of playing with her friends, she spent the day with meth users. Instead of opening presents, Victoria was raped inside of her bedroom. And instead of eating cake surrounded by her loved ones, Victoria was murdered, dismembered, and set on fire.
Major trigger warning for this episode as it is truly one of the most disturbing cases I have ever heard in my entire life. But this is the story of Victoria Martins. I'm Courtney Browen.
And I'm Colin Browen.
