In the continuation of the case against the ex-boxer Félix Verdejo for the murder of Keishla Rodríguez Ortiz, today some texts from his cell phone that had been deleted were shown in the courtroom, showing the ex-boxer jealous of an alleged relationship between the victim and another man. .
The prosecution was questioning forensic investigator Joseph Soeka, an expert in cybercrime investigations, who analyzed the messages extracted from Verdejo’s cell phone on October 31, 2022.
Several exchanges between Verdejo and Rodríguez Ortiz were presented in the room, one of them the one carried out on April 24, 2021, about five days before his disappearance.
The deleted messages read:
“How did my precious wake up? Is it that you prefer an old man over me?” Verdejo wrote.
“You are going to help me, aren’t you? In so many years,” Keishla replied.
“Of course I can help you, but you only have eyes for an old man… It’s ca%&% losing you to an old pig,” Verdejo replied.
According to Telenoticias, Verdejo was referring to Marcelino Pérez known as “Malpica” who was married to Keishla for four years and who was 30 years older than him.
Another of the messages presented is from April 27 at 8:02 p.m.
In the message, Verdejo tells Keishla, “Open up, I’m here.”
Keisha replies, “Don’t come here to fight and argue.”
“No,” Verdejo replies.
“Didn’t you eat?” Keishla asks.
“I forgot, but don’t worry, I eat there,” Verdejo tells him.
“But come and eat,” Keishla continues.
Verdejo replies, “The fact is that I am in DACO.”
Keishla ends by saying “BUFFY”.
That same day, later in the evening, at about 11:39 p.m., Verdejo sends another message.
“Mera, are you awake?” he writes.
“Yes,” Keishla replies.
“I’ll come to you in a few minutes,” Verdejo replies.
“Okay,” Keishla replies.
On April 28, 2021, after midnight, Verdejo writes to him “I’m here.”
Keishla replies, “He’s coming, let’s go upstairs.”
Verdejo, meanwhile, tells him “I’m finishing to go through you.”
Keishla replies, “I’m making coffee.”
That same day at 7:32 in the morning Verdejo writes again to say “I’m close.”
Keishla replies, “I’m on the toilet.”
“Hahaha I’m here,” Verdejo replies.
Keishla tells him “I put my sneakers on and go downstairs. More na'”
Meanwhile, other messages presented had been made precisely on the day of his disappearance, April 29, 2021 at 6:45 in the morning.
“Leaving where you, titan,” Verdejo wrote to Keishla.
Keishla replies hours later, at 4:37 p.m., with the emojis of a black heart, a drop of blood, and two hands folded as if in prayer.
Verdejo meanwhile replied with emojis of a kissy face and a red heart.
This message raised the question whether Keishla had written the text.
As reported by Dianerys Calderon from Telenoticias, Soeka assured that he did not alter the cell phone file and that it is the same as the one that was stolen from Verdejo’s phone. She also explained the programs that were used for this extraction and to confirm if there were deleted messages or not.
Defense inquires about the paternity of the embryo that was preserved from Keishla’s body
Earlier, Verdejo’s defense inquired about the paternity of the embryo that was preserved from the body of Rodríguez Ortiz. She began the work today with the cross-examination of the forensic pathologist, Dr. Rosa Rodríguez Castillo.
Attorney Gabriela Cintrón asked the pathologist if the fetus recovered from Rodríguez Ortiz’s body had undergone DNA tests. The pathologist, for her part, declared that the genetic material was shared with another department of the Institute of Forensic Sciences because the study did not correspond to her. She revealed that the person in charge of doing the analysis was Ruth Cardona.
With Cintrón’s round of questions, Rodríguez Castillo admitted that he had seen the report of the analyzes carried out by Cardona but could not specify what its conclusion was because “he did not remember.” He noted that it was “a very long report.”
He also said he did not know if paternity tests had been carried out on the genetic material recovered from the corpse.
The lawyer continued with questions about the blows that Rodríguez Ortiz’s body presented. It should be noted that yesterday, during the interrogation of the prosecution, the pathologist explained that Rodríguez Ortiz’s body had abrasions from the wire with which he had been tied around his neck, left wrist, waist, and feet.
When asked by Cintrón, the pathologist stated that no analysis was carried out on the genetic material on the wire with which the body was tied, nor on the block that was tied to her waist when the body was recovered in Laguna San José. She explained that no DNA was taken from the wire and block because they were in the water for a long time and there was no blood. She pointed out that being in the water a lot the chance of finding something is less than 1%.
Keishla Rodríguez Ortiz was alive when she was thrown into the San José Lagoon
Yesterday during the prosecution’s questions, the pathologist reported that Rodríguez Ortiz was alive when she was thrown into the San José Lagoon.
Rodríguez Castillo said that on May 1 he received the body of Rodríguez Ortiz in a state of decomposition and that he had wires around his neck and wrist. His story coincides with the shocking photos that were presented during the interrogation of the agent of the Criminal Investigation Corps, Manuel Colón Ruiz.
The pathologist was asked how it was determined that the injuries were not caused by herself and she replied that “she was tied up, her physical activity was restricted, and the facial trauma and ingestion of medications could not do it.” “It was intentional,” she said.
He confirmed that the autopsy shows that Rodríguez Ortiz was alive when she was thrown into the San José lagoon, for which she drowned. She said that her body also had blows to her face, jaw, and a broken nose that occurred while she was still alive.
Rodríguez Ortiz was also injected with drugs such as Fentanyl and Xylazine. Similarly, the pathologist confirmed that she was between three and six weeks pregnant, an embryo that was preserved for DNA testing.
According to Telenoticias, prior to Rodríguez Castillo’s statements, an expert from the Medical Sciences Campus explained the drugs found in Rodríguez Ortiz’s body. She revealed that Silazine is used to treat cattle.
Earlier today, Homeland Security agent Ricardo Díaz Torres, who was in charge of analyzing and extracting information from Verdejo’s cell phone, continued to testify. It was during his testimony that text messages appeared between the ex-boxer and an unknown person who gave him instructions to deactivate his location from his cell phone.
Verdejo’s exchange of texts with the unknown person took place on April 30, 2021, one day after the disappearance of Rodríguez Ortiz. This person told him how he could deactivate his cell phone location.
“I do those steps and that comes out…”, Verdejo answers.
The person answers, “the locations do come out.”
There was also a conversation from Verdejo’s cell phone that same day with a person identified as Bryan Little Brother.
“My love, I can’t talk about anything on the phone, you know, so I don’t get in trouble,” Verdejo wrote to that contact.
During the cross-examination by the defense lawyer, Jason González, the agent admitted that the texts they extracted from Verdejo’s cell phone were more than those that were paraded before the jury and that he also did not confirm who the people who appear recorded with nicknames on the cell phone.
Another of the messages presented in the room was the one Verdejo had with his ex-father-in-law Miguel Santiago, where he advised him not to lose his daughter Eliz Santiago Sierra.
“My king, you know that I have never meddled in your relationship. I only tell you that you have a good woman and not just because she is my daughter. And take this as advice, give it your all if you really love her and if you don’t make your life because she really loves you. Take the advice of me who lost the woman of my life, ”said the text that the ex-father-in-law had sent him.
Verdejo replies “My love, only God knows the love I have for your daughter. And as you say, she is the love of my life. I don’t want to lose her. I am willing to do what she tells me because I don’t want to lose her. From the heart”.
Yesterday the prosecution presented several text messages that Verdejo had with his ex-wife, Eliz Santiago Sierra, to whom he begged forgiveness for the extramarital relationship and assured her that he did not want to be with Keishla Rodríguez.
“She is not going to take off, but I am. She accomplished her mission. She has you complete, ”wrote Santiago Sierra
“I would never be with her,” Verdejo replied on April 28, 2021.
This message from Verdejo contradicts the defense allegations, which at the beginning of the trial indicated that what the ex-boxer did was love Rodríguez Ortiz.
The next day, April 29, 2021, the date on which Rodríguez Ortiz disappeared, Verdejo sent a message to Santiago Sierra after 10 in the morning asking if he should look for his daughter Miranda in the afternoon. According to the prosecution, that day at 8 am, Verdejo had agreed to meet Rodríguez Ortiz.
Meanwhile, Verdejo’s trainer, Cruz Manuel García, testified in the courtroom yesterday that he had trained the ex-boxer that day since 5 in the morning and agreed to meet him the next day to give him money for a trip he would take, but he did not arrive and neither did he. answered the calls.
In the afternoon, the cross-examination of the Homeland Security agent by the defense continues.
Verdejo faces charges of kidnapping resulting in death, use of a firearm, murder of a fetus, and carjacking resulting in death.
The body of Rodríguez Ortiz was found by the authorities in the San José Lagoon, near Teodoro Moscoso, on May 1, 2021. The body was found floating and tied by the neck, hands and feet with a wire. A concrete block hung from his waist.
On April 30, 2021 Verdejo did
who works at the Institute of Forensic Sciences since 1994 and has performed around 15,000 autopsies, explained the process of evaluating the autopsy of the corpse and confirmed that the body that he evaluated on May 1 belongs to Rodríguez Ortiz
The pathologist also confirmed that an embryo of three to six weeks was gestating in the young woman’s uterus, which was preserved for DNA tests.
