Summary
"Un crimen siempre deja huellas, pero estos indicios suelen diluirse cuando el contexto esta lleno de corrupcion, cuando la inocencia es una consecuencia de la mentira y la traicion es el arma que se esgrime todos los dias. En Venezuela cualquiera puede darse por muerto cuando tiene al regimen en su contra; este es el caso de un nino desaparecido diez anos atrs. Sin embargo, hay indicios de que sigue con vida."-- Provided by publisher.
