The tranquility of Chicxulub Puerto was brutally shattered by one of the most atrocious acts in recent memory.
Linda Louise Johnston, a 71-year-old retired United States Air Force veteran, was found dismembered and headless, in a case that has already been described as unprecedented barbarity in Yucatán.
The mutilated body was found near the nightclub district of Chicxulub, a spot frequented by tourists and locals alike, now the scene of a bloody nightmare.
Authorities, between silence and uncertainty, barely confirm the obvious: the horror is real and close at hand.
And everything seems to indicate that the murderer is her own son.
Damon Anthony Martinez, an ex-convict with a dark past and a history of drugs and violence in his country, is named as the prime suspect, according to unofficial leaks. Along with another alleged accomplice, he allegedly brutally took her mother’s life.
The victim had already expressed her fear of dying at his hands. Her last messages to her niece were heartbreaking: “I’m scared, I’m hiding.” Linda wrote on social networks just a couple of days ago.
“This foreigner who should never have entered the country!” Screamed neighbors and friends, who had already warned about the erratic and violent behavior of Linda’s son.
A neighbor recounted that days before the crime, the same man had savagely beaten Linda without anyone intervening in time.
“Where is the head?”
That’s the question that chills the blood.
To this day, LInda-s head has not been located.
The scene seems like something out of a horror movie, but it’s real, it takes place here, in Yucatán, and it has an undertone of impunity.
Why did no one do anything?
The Alba Protocol was activated late, the cries for help remained text messages, the warnings were ignored, and the monster lived in the house.
Yucatán, a state of relative peace, today trembles and worries in the face of the most unimaginable violence, often brought on by the disturbed minds of outsiders and foreigners.
Add to this the ineffectiveness of a leftist and socialist government, which seems to lack the local institutions to prevent this type of situation that could happen to any of us. And it surely won’t have them, because this state government DOESN’T HAVE THE MONEY for that!
Just as there are no resources to buy medicines for the Dr. Agustín O’Horán General Hospital.
