On February 27th, 2018, 8 year old

Gabriel Cruz disappeared during a short 100-metre walk from his grandmother's

house to his cousin’s. What began as a simple trip turned into one of Spain's

most shocking and horrific murder cases.

Over 12 days, 5,000 people,

including Gabriel’s father’s girlfriend, Ana Julia Quezada, joined the search.

But no one suspected she was hiding a terrifying secret. On March 11th,

Gabriel’s body was found in Ana Julia’s car. She had murdered him, buried him,

and then moved his body. She was sentenced to life in prison but the story

didn’t end there.

Without laws to prevent criminals

from profiting off their crimes, Ana Julia sold the rights to her story,

sparking massive public outrage across Spain. Calls for justice and a change to

the legal system spread with the slogan #TodosSomosGabriel.
