Case 015: Regina Martínez Pérez

Cabin 13

April 28, 2012. The open door of Regina Martínez Pérez’s home was the first clue something was amiss. When the home was inspected further, Regina was found dead inside. Although investigators couldn’t be certain who committed the crime yet, one thing was clear: this was not a murder—it was an assassination.

Who killed Regina, and why?
