NEWS: In order to charge Puerto Rican boxer Felix Verdejo with killing his pregnant girlfriend Keishla Rodriguez, a source tells me: prosecutors had a witness named Luis Antonio Cádiz-Martínez who alleged participated in the murder & told the FBI where to find Keishla’s body.
In the initial indictment against Felix Verdejo, prosecutors mentioned a “witness”. People speculated that the witness might be Verdejo’s wife. It wasn’t. The witness is Luis Antonio Cadiz Martínez.
I’m told by a source that Cadiz Martinez not only gave up the location of the body, he cooperated with the FBI which allowed them to solve the case and arrest Felix Verdejo.

Here is the late Andrea Ruiz Costas, of Puerto Rico, in her own words. She requested a restraining order against her ex boyfriend & a judge denied it. She asked another judge to find probable cause to arrest him. She was denied. A month later he killed her, according to police.
These were voice messages that Andrea, 35, sent to one of her best friends. The voice messages were sent between March 27th - 29th.
In one of the messages, Andrea references a photo. Andrea‘s best friend tells me that her ex-boyfriend had in his possession a nude photo of her that he was threatening to release publicly.

After the Puerto Rico justice system was exposed for failing Andrea Ruiz Costas, a judge has now ordered the probable cause hearing sealed so the public can’t see it. That’s the hearing where Andrea asked a judge to jail her ex boyfriend but the judge found no probable cause.
The head of the Supreme Court has acknowledged that enough was not done for Andrea. The attorney general on the island has acknowledged enough was not done for Andrea. The governor has acknowledged that the system failed Andrea. So why not release the hearing?
Puerro Rico’s attorney general supports the release of the 2 zoom hearings where Andrea requested a restraining order from a judge as well as the hearing where she asked a second judge to find probable cause to arrest her ex boyfriend.
