She thought it was just another ride home. But when the taxi doors locked and the driver refused to stop, 23-year-old Lidia Gabriela Gómez López faced a terrifying choice: stay trapped or leap from a moving car. What followed was a split-second decision that ended her life — and exposed the deadly reality women face in Mexico every single day.
In this episode, we follow Lidia’s final moments, the desperate calls to her brother, and the shocking investigation that uncovered the truth behind her death. From an unlicensed taxi to a driver on the run, her story is a chilling reminder of a nationwide femicide epidemic — where 10 women are killed every day and justice is far too rare.
Hear the full story of Lidia Gabriela: her bravery, her tragedy, and the fight for justice that continues today.
