Imagine rushing down a street, knocking on doors, looking down alleyways, and checking inside of dumpsters to see if you can find your beloved, 16-year-old daughter. Such was an October weekend in 2010 for Alicia Martinez’s mother. That frenzied search was only the start of a mother’s nightmare, ending with a gruesome murder.


Alicia Martinez was a typical teenager, full of hope and excitement for her future. She loved her family, friends, church, and school. She craved adventure, even if it meant breaking the rules now and then.


Alicia’s death gutted her family and ripples through generations who never had the chance to encounter her smile. When the details of those involved in her murder were revealed, it stunned the entire community.


In this bloodcurdling episode of Sword and Scale, we reveal the layers of bitter betrayal that led to Alicia’s demise, and the singular choice that placed her under the gaze of a predator.
