Homero Gómez González was a Mexican environmental activist, agricultural engineer, and politician. He was a manager of El Rosario Monarch Butterfly Preserve, and he was very vocal about saving them. Untl the day he vanished. He was found dead about 3 weeks after his disappearance and many believe he was targeted because of his activism (starts at 17:14). Before the case of Homero, Cristina reads a few stories from a listener and just a warning, they are very sad!
