"La Nota Roja" is a Spanish-language investigative true crime podcast hosted by acclaimed journalist Lydia Cacho, produced by a Mexican team, that chronicles the harrowing 25-year history of feminicides and disappearances of women in Ciudad Juárez, Mexico. Through in-depth interviews with investigators, activists, and grieving family members, the series unpacks the systemic corruption, cartel violence, human trafficking, and failed justice system that have allowed these crimes to persist largely unpunished. Episodes blend hard-hitting journalism with emotional storytelling, tracing landmark cases like Campo Algodonero, the rise of narco-violence under the Sinaloa Cartel, and international activism that pushed for legal recognition of "feminicidio" in Mexican law. The tone is somber, urgent, and deeply human, balancing factual investigative rigor with intimate portraits of loss and resilience. Ideal for listeners interested in true crime, gender violence, Latin American politics, human rights, and social justice movements, the podcast serves as both a historical record and a call to action against ongoing impunity.
