(00:00):
The case of Pedro Bravo is ahat tale of jealousy and obsession that culminated
in a tragic murder. Pedro Bravowas an 18- year- old Ecuadorian
ancestor. There' s almost noinformation about his childhood. The only thing

(00:21):
that is known is that, whenattending high school at the Doral Academy in
Miami Dage County, Pedro began toget out and then be a non-
viazgo relationship with a young woman namedErica Freeman, who was also a student
at that school. However, asby May of the two thousand twelve was
her graduation and as they could nolonger be seen because they would have separate

(00:42):
paths, she decided to end withPeter. Shortly thereafter, in August of
that same year,Érika moved toGansville to continue her studies. University students.
There she began to date a youngman named Christian Aguilar, who had
also studied with her and with Pedroin high school in the town of Dolar
n s c luso ors were friends. This young man, who was of

(01:02):
Colombian origin, was in his firstyear of biomedical engineering at the University of
Florida. Meanwhile, Pedro, whowas in college in Miami, after the
breakup of his courtship, decided torequest and transfer to another lower- level
university, supposedly to be in thesame city of Irik. In fact,
he followed his ex- girlfriend totry to get his relationship back, but

(01:23):
in that course he discovered that hewas dating Cristiana, which he would not
like. And that' s how. Given this context, it is that
we are going to the day ofevents on Thursday, September 20th, at
two thousand twelve, in the afternoonhours, Christian Aguilar, eighteen years old,

(01:44):
communicated with his parents of caleño origin, where he sent them a text
message telling them that everyone was fineand that he was receiving a vaccine at
the university. However, this becamethe last time they heard from him.
It turns out that, after hisparents tried to communicate with his son unsuccessfully
and his Erica girlfriend did not getnews from him for the next day,

(02:06):
21 September, they reported his disappearance. This involved the deployment of some 200
state police officers, in addition todozens of family members and volunteers, in
a search that concentrated on the southeastof Gagsvielle. The case of Christian Aguilar
shocked from the beginning of the SouthernFlorida Community, especially because the young Colombian
was an exemplary student who had graduatedwith honors and was studying biomedical engineering at

(02:30):
the prestigious University of Florida in Gansville. The only thing that was known was
that the last person who saw himalive on 19 September was his girlfriend Erica.
Initially, authorities hijacked some security cameraswhere both Christian and his 18-
year- old school friend, PedroBravo, were observed entering an electronic device

(02:52):
store before stopping for about two hoursin the parking lot of a Warner chain
store. Since then nothing was heardfrom Christian Because of this evidence, the
officers looked at Peter, who wasimmediately interrogated. The young man said he
asked to meet with Christian to talk. Both had gone to eat something and

(03:15):
then Bestsby to buy a ciri Onthe way back he picked up someone on
the highway and Peter described him asa man between fifty and sixty with gray
hair. While he was sitting inthe tarasero seat, the man was playing
with devious tape, according to Peter. After the man left, the two
friends discussed how Peter was handling hispersonal problems and then Christian caught him getting

(03:38):
out of the car. The youngman left Christian on the side of the
road near a business that sold four- wheeled vehicles, concluded that, although
they had had a colorful argument andfight the last time he saw him,
he was alive. Like the lastperson who saw Christian, Pedro was key
and two days after his disappearance,the police declared Pedro as someone who might

(04:00):
be linked to the case. Parallelto that was such an impact that this
fact caused that several businesses provided physicaland monetary resources for the search. Four
hundred volunteers helped the police with thetracking and the community mobilized to locate the
student. Detective Matthew Golkele of theGansville Police Department determined that Christian' s

(04:24):
phone had been intentionally turned off.The fact that the phone was paid indicated
a great possibility that a crime hadbeen committed. Two days passed and the
searchers found no trace of the missingstudent, as they knew that perhaps Peter
said those things to the people aroundthem to manipulate them took him back for

(04:44):
another interview to determine if he spokethe truth. His account of events continued
to change and this time he claimedthat, after the man left the highway,
the disagreement with Christian became physical.I stopped the car and just punched
him in the o. Peter thensaid he continued to beat Christian. After
he got out of the car,I could see he was fine, but

(05:05):
he wasn' t gonna get upsoon and then I got in my car
and left like there were, thingsthat didn' t fit. Four days
after the start of the case,the researchers deepened the relationship between Christian and
Pedro, apart from knowing that theyoung people andÉrika had graduated from the
same high school.Érika had goneout with Peter, but had broken up

(05:26):
with him during his senior year.Then, the young woman and Christian started
dating after starting college. In thatcourse, Peter discovered, through common friends,
that he was dating Christian. Thesituation between Peter and Cristian was very
tense, because Peter felt that hehad tried to go out withÉrika behind
his back. As a result,the authorities devised a way to keep Peter

(05:47):
behind bars for time, while seekingincriminating evidence, so he was arrested for
failing to assist on the basis ofhis statements about damaging Christian and leaving him
defenseless, while the authorities asked fora warrant to search both his car and
his apartment. That' s howthey found blood inside Peter' s vehicle,

(06:10):
a roll of tape and a bottleof catarech. Similarly, they found
in his apartment the missing man's backpack and a receipt for a shovel.
They also found newspapers full of disturbingentries detailing Peter' s step-
by- step plan to recoverÉrika. Thus, on September 26th, in
the face of the evidence found,the police decided to charge Christian' s

(06:32):
schoolmate, his best friend since childhoodwith homicide in the first degree. Finally,
after twenty- two days of disappearance, on October 12, two thousand
and twelve, a pair of hunterslooking for a line in a forested area
found a partially buried and decomposed corpse. When the authorities arrived, they also

(06:53):
found adhesive tape, blue sports shoesand dark blue trousers and coincided with what
Christian Aguilar was wearing. The dayhe disappeared. Later, police revealed that
dental records and DNA from a hipjoint confirmed that the remains found actually belonged
to Christian. Likewise, the vatape found with the remains was sent to

(07:16):
the crime lab, where it wascompared with the strip of Pedro' s
vehicle. Analysts determined that the tapeat Christian' s burial site was from
the same roll of tape found inthe car. At that point, the
detectives initially believed that Peter acted inan attack of anger. However, analysis
of Gatorett' s bottle revealed thatit was mixed with sedatives, indicating that

(07:42):
the crime was premeditated. The fluidin Cristian' s lungs, which leaked
into the carpet, indicated that hewould most likely have been strangled. For
all the evidence collected at that time, Pedro Bravo was charged with kidnapping homicide
in Envenena n NS to make afalse report, obstruction of investigation, destruction

(08:03):
of evidence and ill- treatment ofhuman remains. Finally, on August 4,
the trial of Pedro Pravo began.There, the young man pleaded not
guilty to the carcass. The stateprosecutor' s office presented more than four
hundred and fifty evidence and about 1, 500 photographs to prove Peter' s

(08:24):
guilt. According to prosecutors, Pedrofelt jealous and scorned because his Erica girlfriend
had left him, so he continuedto travel to the city of Gansville to
convince the girl to return to him. Faced with the refusal, Peter asked
to meet with Christian for a chat. However, after going to the store
and staying in the parking lot forabout two hours, prosecutors said that'
s where Pedro poisoned him and useda leash to strangle him. Then he

(08:50):
drove the Levi county for an hourand threw the body into the forest.
In addition, they added that themurder took place on the 20th of September
of two thousand twelve, so forthat moment Cristian was already in Peter'
s possession, he would have beenthe one who sent the message to Christian
' s parents posing as his sonto buy time and be able to move

(09:11):
and bury the body away from theuniversity city. The jury heard the testimony
of several witnesses and experts, includingthat of an informative price and former companion
of Celda de Pedro, who detailedhow this told him about the plan and
the consummation of the murder. Infact, the investigators confirmed that Cella'
s partner was telling the truth,because his information led them to the point

(09:35):
of the crime. The detectives whoinvestigated the clues and traces on the cell
phone also discovered that Pedro used themobile device flashlight about nine times for forty
- eight minutes allegedly to hide hispartner' s body. The phone also
places him in a location that didnot coincide with the young man' s

(09:56):
fourth. For his part, duringhis testimony at the trial, Pedro assured
that Christian Aguilar was alive. Thelast time he saw them, Peter said
he was tearing himself apart. Whenhe and Christian met to talk about his
depression after the breakup with his ex- girlfriend, he continued to say that
he went to Gansville to try tohave a new start and at the same

(10:16):
time wanted to see if he couldreturn to Erika, He and his friend
were a fast- food restaurant andan electronic device store to buy a city.
They then went to the parking lotto retire and after leaving while driving,
they fought and originated. He addedthat during the fight he fell on
Christian and hit him on the face. Several times. He didn' t

(10:37):
get up right away, but hekept moving and concluded that he left his
friend alive on the ground and neversaw him again. However, the prosecution
' s evidence against Pedro was strong. Peter' s diary, in which
he detailed his torment for his breakwithÉrika, was read in his trial
with pages and pages that would givehis plans to recover his girlfriend and with

(11:00):
some entries showing a date. Bravo' s diary showed that as the summer
of two thousand and twelve progressed,he began to despair about how to approach
and talk to Erika and revealed thatshe had ignored him. On July 29,
2000, she wrote that she removedhim from Facebook. I feel that
a part of my world is alreadyrunning out, although now my journey begins

(11:22):
to recover it. He wrote tothe stand. Erika Freeman, who testified
that he never thought that the intelligentand charismatic student he once dated was capable
of committing a murder.Érika saidshe started dating Pedro when they were both
sophomores in high school in Miami.She recalled that she initially felt attracted to

(11:43):
him because he made her laugh,but in her last year he began to
wear her down. She told himthat she wanted to take a break from
her relationship, but Peter did notaccept it and seemed depressed. Erika continued
to date him during the summer oftwo thousand and twelve until the Universe had
to leave in Gamesville, Florida.That' s when he said he told

(12:03):
Peter that he didn' t seea future with him and that he didn
' t want to have a long- distance relationship. When they broke up,
she said she was very sad andwept, but felt free as if
she had just taken a weight offher. After the breakup, she started
dating her friend Christian Aguilar, who, according to her, made her feel
special. After arriving at Erika Universityshe said she learned from a friend that

(12:28):
Pedro had also enrolled and was stillupset about losing her. She said she
controlled him, but kept her relationshipwith Cristian secret. The young woman commented
that she realized for the first timethat Christian was missing. Hours after she
went to meet Peter, she beganto panic and kept trying to call them

(12:48):
both until late in the morning.Christian' s phone kept ringing in voicemail,
but Peter finally answered. Lo.First I asked him where Christian is,
and he just said oh, youknow he was leaving. We had
an argument, you know, averbal argument. However, as time passed

(13:09):
and Christian did not return home.He said his suspicions of Peter grew.
Finally. On August 16, 2000, Pedro Bravo was found guilty of murder
in the first degree, being sentencedby a judge to life imprisonment for more
than forty years without the possibility ofparole. In addition to being found guilty

(13:31):
and domiciled in the first degree,he was convicted on other charges such as
imprisonment, fake, poisoning, givingfalse information, police officers and strangulation.
Christian' s father, Carlos Aguilar, delivered a speech at the Court before
Braun was sentenced. I can't say with words the enormous pain we
' ve been through. He alsoclaimed that Christian' s father created a

(13:54):
foundation in the name of his sonto help find lost young people. After
his sentence, Pedro Bravo was transferredto Florida Department of Corrections custody and is
now serving his sentence at Taylor CorrectionalInstitution. The convicted murderer is now twenty
- nine years old. His lawyersfiled an appeal in two thousand six,

(14:16):
but it was denied by the Stateof Florida. But well, so far
