Juan David Ortiz, a U.S. Border Patrol supervisor, wore the uniform of a trusted protector.
But he lived a double life — husband, father, war veteran, and respected agent.
Yet beneath this facade of normalcy lay a monster.
Over the course of twelve days in 2018, Ortiz unleashed his dark urges on the streets of Laredo, Texas, brutally ending the lives of four vulnerable women.
What drove a man like Ortiz to commit such heinous acts?
I explore that question through the eyes of Lyzza Janette, an unlikely observer who dared to confront the killer face-to-face.
As she unraveled the duality of a man who could be both charming and monstrous, she was left both horrified and fascinated.
This is a story not just about the crimes committed by a trusted Border Patrol Agent but about the thin line between good and evil.
