Ever since a young age, Lizette enjoyed the privileges of being born into a wealthy family, she went to the best private schools in Mexico and soon became a lawyer. (Parents were wealthy). [7][8], On March 30th, Paulette's parents spent several hours at the Mexican police station before being transferred to a hotel to fulfill their restriction order. [Video - finding the body GRAPHIC] (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7YG7ktc0asw), Paulette's bedroom on the morning of her disappearance. Her mother, Lizette Farah, had not gone with them, going instead on a trip to Los Cabos with her friend Amanda and returning home on the same day as her family.
On March 23rd, it was revealed that Lizette had gone out with her other daughter and not come back until 7 hours later. Their marriage, too, was falling apart. Most people in Mexico believe she is the killer. Police tapped the home and caught their eldest daughter saying: “Because they’ll blame us or blame you for putting her outside to get lost” (paraphrasing) it was an odd conversation. The atypical response from the parents, the botched police investigation, affluent family, no signs of break-in, 1 older sibling, the body found on premises later on, and still unsolved...at least in the Ramsay case the death was ruled a homicide, allowing an (inept) investigation to follow. [7][8], In the afternoon, the Attorney General of the State of Mexico released a poster with a photo of Paulette and information about her age, appearance and physical deficiencies. After speaking with the neighbors and the security guards, who had not seen the girl, the police was finally called. Later, at 8am, they went to prepare little Paulette for kindergarten.
He did everything he could to put the blame on her, but failed to come up with enough evidence. [3] Paulette's body was found in her own room wrapped in sheets between the mattress and the foot of the bed,[4][5] the same room where her mother had offered interviews and that had been searched by experts from various agencies, including the utilization of search and rescue dogs.
In the time she spent in the house, the bed was made on a daily basis, and nobody noticed the girl's body or the bloody stains on the sheets as they appear on the forensic video. The blankets covering Paulette, according to the official version, not only concealed her body but also prevented the putrid smell from leaking. And then there's the forensic experts testimony, they said that they believe the girl had been dead for only 3 days when she was found, was she then alive and slowly dying under the bed? Note: English is not my first language, so I apologize for any mistakes made. March 22, 2010. '"[18], At first Lizette denied this, saying that the recording was edited so it sounded like she was telling her daughter to hide any information. The police never clarified that as far as I'm concerned. Another factor is that mother-killings tend to have the child wrapped in a blanket as sort of a subconscious instinct, as with Casey Anthony, JBR, etc. I had the exact same question! So I have absolutely no comprehension of how they tuck it in at the ends and feel nothing?? This is a very strange, very sad case.
A subreddit dedicated to the unresolved mysteries of the world. I put up one in English but there’s quite a bit out there. Edit I've linked a video where you can see the nannies making the bed in one of the police reconstructions.
I’d be curious to know the production date and size of those pajamas that incidentally disappeared. [7][8] In the evening, Lizette Farah released a message on television to the alleged abductor asking that her daughter be returned to her, saying that she could be left in a shopping center or a crowded place and there would be no reprisal.
They looked everywhere for the girl, not only in their apartment but in the entire building: inside the elevators, in the garden, the pool, the playground and even the parking lot but Paulette was nowhere to be found.
During the investigation of the case, a recording between Paulette's mother, Lizette, and her then 7-year-old sister, also named Lizette, was released, in which she tells her daughter not to say anything of Paulette's disappearance, so that they would not be blamed,[17] with the following words: "Little Lizette asks, 'why mom?' Paulette disappeared on March 21. Regarding that statement, there is no other information that has been made public (that I'm aware of). The medical examiner ruled it an accidental death but many people insist it was foul play. The child, Paulette, (4) disappeared from her bed at night, from her Mexico home. I have a walking disability and speech impairment, I have a scar on the left side of my back. I hope this post isn't too long. This was reported on 31 March, although they failed to reveal the exact date and hour of her death.
I'm very much NOT squeamish, but it took me by surprise, so I imagine others might be even more shocked/disturbed. [3] Her death was ruled accidental by Alberto Bazbaz, General Attorney for the State of Mexico, who said his investigation concluded that Paulette died during the night after she turned herself around in bed and ended up at the foot,[4] and died by suffocating,[6] described as "mechanical asphyxia by obstruction of the nasal cavities and thorax-abdominal compression". Lo que no se dijo, I’m not so sure anymore. As Lizette and the reporter in charge of the interview examine various items owned by Paulette, the aforementioned pajamas appear.
She was so small doctors didn’t think she could survive, but, strong as she was, she proved them all wrong. Her body was found on March 31, nine days later.
Behind a bookshelf isn’t really a place you’re going to look. The nannies had also made the bed in several reconstructions with the police, and found no trace of the girl. The medical examiner said she had been dead 5-9 days. Family members said they believe she fell over as she tried to adjust the plug of a television behind the bookshelf. And I went back to look for her in the bedroom,"[16], "In fact, if it had been like that, I think we would have noticed, since thousands of people came to look for her, the bed was made, I never saw the mattress pulled back, I did not see a bundle or anything, it does not make sense to me that the body could have been there since Monday.
It looks like she was in between the tucked sheets and the foot of the bed. Hopefully, one day we'll have the answers. He recalled that he had gone out to work on the morning of Monday, the 22nd of March, when Paulette had apparently disappeared.
What do you guys think of the case? Paulette’s elder sister, then 7 years old, might have killed her.
I couldn’t find her and decided to search the parent’s bedroom as well, then her sister’s room. What is the story behind this statement? Family members scoured her room for clues but found nothing, though they did notice a strange smell. Press J to jump to the feed. Had she perhaps wondered out on her own?
Hidden beneath her mattress, still wearing her blue and purple pajamas and covered by blood-stained blankets, the investigators on the case ruled her death an accident: the little girl, they said, had died of asphyxiation. The examiners did not know she was there prior? The audience immediately questioned why the sister's clothes were among Paulette's belongings, and as it could be seen in subsequent days in continuous interviews, those pajamas were placed in Paulette's closet.
Most experts agree that it is a reenactment, and not a real-time event, which may explain how one of the forensic experts could know that Paulette was beaten before any evidence was found.
