S02E06 The Devil in Disguise
Episode Overview
Irene Garza, a 23-year-old teacher, former beauty queen, and devoted Catholic, disappeared the night before Easter after attending confession. The tight-knit community in her border town rallied to search for her, but despite their efforts and numerous false leads, her body was eventually discovered in a drainage canal, indicating she had been brutally attacked by a sexual predator. A key witness suggested at the time that someone from the clergy might be involved, but this information was hidden for 42 years until a former priest stepped forward, revealing a shocking confession from another cleric that exposed a troubling cover-up.
