In 2015, emergency services were called to a blood-soaked apartment in Sunrise, Florida. When paramedics arrived, they found 31-year-old Maria Nemeth dead in the closet. Her body had been horrifically mutilated and sitting calmly nearby was her boyfriend, Fidel Lopez.
What followed was one of the most disturbing confessions ever recorded. Lopez initially claimed Maria’s death was the result of rough, consensual sex gone wrong. But within hours, he broke down and described a scene of uncontrolled rage and graphic violence, triggered, he said, by the mere mention of her ex-husband’s name.
This is a case of possession, jealousy, and raw brutality, one that left experienced detectives visibly shaken. The details are gruesome, the motive paper-thin, and the aftermath unforgettably bleak.
In this episode, we walk through the timeline of the crime, the psychological red flags, and the chilling interrogation footage that exposed Lopez’s true state of mind. This is not just a story about a violent outburst. It’s a glimpse into what lies beneath when control, identity, and obsession collide.
