I'll say it again, jose is our generation's Geraldo Rivera. The manz tells the stories you don't hear and he goes Deep into the murky waters. I'm biracial , born & raised in Canada. Is see similarities with NYC'S crime & NYR'S ( north york region/Toronto's) Crime. And its devastating on both ends. 🇨🇦🙏🇺🇸❤
Typical narcissistic abuser blames literally everyone and everything except himself. He put more effort into stalking and murdering his ex-wife than being a good father. I am almost certain it's one of those situations where he couldn't have his ex so he refused to be a father. You are so amazing at this, please keep up the good work. I can tell this is all a labour of love to make these episode.
I spoke little Spanish at that time. I'm a black woman but excelled at foreign language studies particularly Spanish and Italian. But i would watch sabado Gigante international and Christina. Me wanting to know what they were saying forced me to learn more Spanish. I love the way you incorporate relatable things that allow your listeners to be able to peg where they were and what they were doing st the time of the story that you are giving attention to. As everyone has already said... you give keen attention to properly covering and RESPECTING things from the victim and their families prospective. You do provide details about the perpetrators life, criminal record and other details that you gleen. But it never overshadows the victim and their family. Te quiero mucho y gracias❤.
I agree, his anecdotes are very relatable. The clips of the ads and tv shows at the beginning of this video reminded me of my childhood in the 90s; growing up in the Caribbean we got a lot of Latin American ads on tv, when he described it he made me feel like we family lol. I especially loved the ads that were entirely in Spanish and at the end you hear "byyy Mennen" 😂.
@@trnigyul Haha - "Buy Mennen," advert reminds me of when it was on Seinfeld; When George would be kicked out by a ruined first date,he would say his name in the advert way does "George Cos-tanza -buy mennen." then the girl from the date would just have george in mind and not knowing why she would agree to a further date haha.
I'm a Black woman from Texas and I kept Univision on in my room, lol. Their talk shows were awesome, lolol. I can understand Spanish better than speak it, but it felt normal to immerse a bit. Your experience is very relatable ❤.
When your dad tells you that you're too young for marriage and you should wait, he isn't being hateful or trying to destroy your dreams; he is looking out for you because he wants only the best for you and your life. Please heed your parents' advice so that in ten years you can look back and say, "Whew! I dodged that one!"
Not everyone has good parents. You’re projecting your experience onto others. Classic ignorance of others’ realities. You have a lot of maturing and learning to do.
@@cristobalbalenciaga7295I guess they saying because he wasn’t in the daughters life it led her to kill herself, which there is no proof she blames her dad..... she barely even knew him so it makes no sense but I guess everybody has an opinion 🤷🏾♂️
He was just obsessed with the mother because he couldn’t have her. He only became concerned when his daughter died. But he used his daughter’s death as a pawn and reason to do what he did. He couldn’t have her. Such a sad story. Omg you took me back with the ads. I remember them all.
the guy was married. why do women always assume things like that. not everything a man does is out of jealousy. yall women are somethin else. yall r the problem with the world. thats why eve bit the forbidden fruit first. not even to mention womans true nature as lilith
Jose you took me way back with those commercials!!same here watched all those novelas and tv shows…thank you for all your hard work and bringing us cases I have never heard before.
He was deranged and obsessed with his ex wife. It wasn’t about his daughter, he barely knew her, acting like he was more distraught than everyone. He was obsessed with the woman
It’s crazy how I wrote this comment before finishing the video and all I was thinking of him was exactly that. I have seen this type of behavior several times unfortunately but I at least have my life still. So sorry for her family and little baby that had to grow up without his mom 😢
I was most likely going to be one of your cases, my case was in the news in 2005 but thank God I survived it. I recognized someone in one of your cases, the daughter of a lady that lost her life in a stabbing, I did her wedding makeup and I had no idea of her mom’s story and how similar it was to mine. You have an amazing channel that will keep growing and growing and I’m also an upper west sider. Blessings to you
Nah, I think there was some truth to what he was saying. A gunshot to the chest is extremely rare for a suicide. The letter is almost too detailed in a way it seems as if it was written to hide suspicions.
@@maquillamelily212wow!! Sounds like you too, have had a very hard life! I don't know you, or anything about your story.. When I hear of any DV cases (and this is definitely one!), I feel so much anger.. It's happening way too much, all over the world. Just here,in my country, (Australia),we average at least 1-2 deaths a week. (Woman of course). It's rare to hear of any woman abusing, or killing her partner. Sure, it exists, but it's extremely rare. We should be able to decide if we want to leave our partner, without the fear of being killed..😢😢😢 This story is terrible and really really sad. The parents married way too young and I'm inclined to believe that the ex husband must have gone through hell when he was locked up in jail in Cuba! However, that did not give him a free pass for his behaviour once he got out and went to the US!! Imo, it doesn't seem as though he put too much effort into getting to know his daughter. I heard a lot about how he would hear from family, or see pictures given to him, of his daughter, I even heard the mother tried to encourage a relationship between the two.. However, I never heard of them ever seeing each other, except one time by accident?? That tells me, he did a lot of complaining and blaming everyone, except for himself! I'm sure he could have tried a lot harder to see her if he really wanted to. Imo, he preferred to play the victim. Rest in peace to the mother and daughter 🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤😢😢
How sad that both mother and daughter have missed so much life that they deserved to live. It breaks my heart when kids so young take their lives. They have no idea how precious life is at that age and that the future may be so brighter. It also breaks my heart how many woman live in fear due to domestic violence and how many die because of it. No one should have to live in fear. RIP to mother & daughter. Together for eternity. Thank you for another heartfelt story. Once again you did an amazing job. Your channel is definitely the best on RUclips.
Man. You knocked it out of the park on this one brother. I remember this clearly. Your intro is so reminiscent with how Latinos grew up watching TV. This is a heart breaking story and you gave it justice. Rest in Peace ,ladies.
When the expectations for women is to save the entirety of humanity, they are doomed to fail. It takes community of people to raise a child. That man NEVER tried to be apart of his daughter’s life. He saw his daughter more in death than when she was alive. He has regrets for being a horrible father and will never admit or take responsibility or accountability for his actions.
What are you even talking about, “the expectations for women is to save the entirety of humanity?” That expectation lives in your mind, maybe, but certainly not the majority, or even minority of humans. What a daft thing to say.
This man was out of control and should’ve been confined!! He was able to constantly make threats against Maritza with no consequences! He wasn’t a part of the child’s life, which was his fault!! He didn’t care about Yoandra, he cared more about terrorizing her mother! He obviously has an issue and shouldn’t be allowed in society ever again
How about this question? Why did their daughter commit self killing or was thinking of self killing even before she got pregnant? As a father, he felt helpless to help her or support her personally until it was way too late AND lost a grandson/grandddaughter on top of it. This case is so complex that it isn't black and white. The daughters boyfriend saying that Yoandra wanted to live with her father instead of her mother speaks volumes about the family situation.
Can you imagine being Emilio's second wife, knowing he's obsessed with his ex, and instead of being around and reliable, he's just out stalking her all day?
His second wife probably had suspicions that Yoanna was murdered either by her mom/stepdad directly or indirectly by committing self killing. She had every reason to see her husband distraught, mourning, mad, upset and frustrated with the outcome. Especially since he knew about the child protection services together all at once. Regrets can haunt you forever or for a long time. I lost a very close friend of mine in 2022 at age 26 and my half brother age 28 in 2019 due to self killing.
And when they do cover older ones, they cover the same stories we've heard a million times just repeating the same info with still pics. He covers stories I've never even hears about. And I grew up in the area of the stories he covers.
I just love your content; you're an amazing storyteller, you give a voice to the voiceless and tell the stories that arent mainstream but nonetheless just as important and you do it with such empathy. You give the victims and the families the dignity they deserve. Your community here on youtube is also da bomb, keep the vids coming.
Thank you for the kind words! The audience here are the absolute best. I always wanted the comment section to feel like a community, and you guys always help me keep that energy. Appreciate you.
Mr. Ortiz, I have to say that you put very meticulous work in your videos. The way you edited those Univision clips in the beginning was an awesome throwback. And the way that the compassion and care was shown for both the daughter and mother in your videos is a class act. You are the best true crime RUclips video in my book!!
I worked at a Spanish television station in a small town in California. I was the financial supervisor, very small office. We had contracts with Univision and local businesses buying packages for commercial spots. Many years ago, 1996-1999, Santa Maria/Guadalupe, CA
I disagree. If it wasn't about the daughter, he wouldn't have killed his exwife nor motivated him to kill her. The daughter actually wanted to live with her father. The boyfriend even said in one of her letters. The daughter nor the ex wife said that their lives were in danger before the daughter committed self killing.
Losing a child is a life sentence in itself, and it only gets more difficult as the years pass…You did a great job narrating this tragic story, and peeling back all the layers to reveal who this man really was. My heart breaks for Yolanda, and her family who have suffered two devastating losses. 🙏🏼✝️
New subscriber. I’ve been binging your videos for 3 days now. Thank you for covering so many lesser known stories from NYC / the Tri state. Much love brotha. Love that you’re doing other states as well
I remember when this murder happened. I said , if only Maritza had stayed in her car and driven away when she saw that that hothead was in the cemetery.
That could've changed things. But sadly, he had no intentions of stopping there. Especially when he said, "what I should've done a long time ago" at the scene. You can tell it was something he'd thought about doing. So scary
Stomach churning video to watch. I'm surpised he wasn't giving the DP. To gun down someone like that in broad daylight is diabolical. Its similar to the Gladys Ricart case. Both women were in abusive relationship and ended up getting murdered cold blooded by their exes. RIP Yoandra 🕊️🙏🌹 RIP Maritza 🌹🙏🕊️ My sincerest condolences to the the families.
My gosh, such a series of tragedies. This entire family was devastated. I don’t know how someone could even begin to move on from so much trauma. I truly hope this family has come to find some sense of peace with this horrible series of events.
I remember this case, it was crazy to me to see and hear the lack of empathy of the MSM not much has changed, it’s gross. Profit over humanity. Emilio obviously had untreated mental illness. It’s sad to see three lives destroyed. On a light note, that intro took me back to my teenage years. Mid 90s coming in strong.
I'm never this early. I just recently found your channel. I love the way you tell a story and that you tell stories a lot of people have never heard about! You are one of my favorites and you should have WAY MORE subscribers! I wish you nothing but continued success!
I've always seen this horrifying clip throughout the years, but I never dug deep into this story. Thank you for putting me on! Your channel is really the truth. I love your content!
Brother, you brought back hella memories with this one, born n raised in south Florida I remember this vividly. Have a Peruvian background so of course the TV was locked on telemundo etc. and I remember watching with my moms this entire story play out being 7 years old at the time… Love what you do to bring awareness, and I hope you do more on events that took place here in Florida. Can’t wait for the next video.
OMG growing up in eastharlem el barrio all these channels were our parents life line to it all. To have migrated from PR to new York in the 90s it was truly a blessing to see something in my language ❤
Omg I'm from New Orleans and I very well remember this case shown on our local news stations!! This case haunted me for many years as I was a very sheltered child and didn't know about the evil in the real world... Thank you for bringing this beautiful woman's memory back to us❤
Thank you sooo much for the intro! I’m from L.A. but this was my era too! Even the pepto commercial I remember. I thought this was was lost to my memory and history but 1000% thank you for that!
Man I remember seeing this when I was just a little girl 😢. I am now 35 years old but this incident always remained stuck in my memory, even now. 💔🙏🏾🙏🏾
Dead beat dads always use the same excuses 😂 it’s like there’s a secret book they all buy that gives them answers to give for when someone asks them why they don’t see their kid/s
Ii can't believe this man takes no blame in what and how his daughter felt and did. He blames the mother who raised her fed her clothed her etc. A real POS.
This was really close to home. I attended summer school at Rickards Middle School in 1997. The father was deranged and the police let Maritza down. I'm sorry Yoandra felt so alone that she ended it all. May God continue to cover Maritza's son and husband.
I was 17 years old when this happened.... Ocurrió así exploded this video to infinity... they were playing it all the time,at all times... Over and over again... And I remember I thought it looks a little bit fake.
I was just 10 when I saw the news about this but the situation. It was never explained like this. I only heard it was a DV situation. Now I cry knowing the backstory. Thanks you for covering these stories.
21:22 wow so not only was he a dead beat but he also ceaselessly made her life hell after losing her child, which was obviously cos he felt guilty for never bothering with her before she passed, to them unalive her 😢
Correction- 'Their child'. The fathers ONLY child. They also lost a grandchild. The parents and stepfather failed and all 3 ended up with full regrets right after Yoandra took her own life.
My husband grew up watching Univision and Galavision, he told me about seeing this video but neither of us knew the whole backstory. You're a fantastic storyteller.
God bless Sr. & Martin for coming to Maritza's defense when she could no longer speak for herself. I did not expect to cry so hard watching this! Good respectful storytelling ❤
Damn these old school Spanish commercials take me back in my childhood days…rip to the mother and daughter 🙏🏾🕊️ it’s sucks that the daughter never got the chance to experience her adult life and the mother was gone in the prime of her life and would of celebrated her birthday today.
Thank you so much, José, for not only your dedication to bringing us such high-quality documentaries but also for sharing your incredible talent for storytelling and sharing these dark, tragic cases. I really respect the way you spend a large portion of the video bringing the victims "back to life" and don't rely on the sensationalism of the case. This story is so important for many to hear - rest peacefully, Maritza and Yoandra. Your stories won't be forgotten 💔💔

Yes, yes and yes!
This is honestly, In my opinion, the best RUclips channel!
Aww man i really appreciate that!
Hell yeah
Nah this a fact
Its really well done always imo
It’s my new favorite
Wow bro u are def raising the bar..the care and detail you put into telling these stories is top tier,.so happy to see your channel growing
That footage of Maritza waiting in the car is really eerie. She didn’t say a word……It’s almost like she knew deep down what was going to happen.
Definitely felt that way.
Yes she definitely did. She never said a word at all- she definitely knew this was it. She knew he wanted to kill her.

I can tell this is all a labour of love to make these episode.
Thank you so much! He was absolutely a narcissist. Pointed the finger at everyone but himself, and in reality, could never leave the woman alone.
That makes so much sense... Cant have the Mother so as a "get back" being abandoning the child. That happens too often.
Those are my exact thoughts
Oh wow, my ex was a narcissist but I never made the connection as to why he didn't bother with our kids, unless to bad mouth me of course
Thank you Jose. RIP Mom and daughter. So hard for the children.🙏🏼💔🕊️😓
What a coward. He blamed everyone but himself. He should have been a father to her and now 2 little boys grow up without one of their parents. 😢

Even though you speaking about tragic true crime just hearing your voice is soothing
Stomach churning video to watch. I'm surpised he wasn't giving the DP. To gun down someone like that in broad daylight is diabolical. Its similar to the Gladys Ricart case. Both women were in abusive relationship and ended up getting murdered cold blooded by their exes. RIP Yoandra 🕊️🙏🌹 RIP Maritza 🌹🙏🕊️ My sincerest condolences to the the families.
I've covered her story but not in depth. Still hoping to speak to her family.
Such a sad story. Very well done.
If only he put that effort into taking care of his child as he did stalking her mother.
I think he was More concerned he couldn’t have her mother. Not really her. He used that his daughter as a pawn.
I feel like the father put a lot of trust on her mother and stepfather and all 3 ended up failing with all 3 feeling full of regrets.
My gosh, such a series of tragedies. This entire family was devastated. I don’t know how someone could even begin to move on from so much trauma. I truly hope this family has come to find some sense of peace with this horrible series of events.
Omg!! I remember watching this when I was a kid so sad
I remember this case, it was crazy to me to see and hear the lack of empathy of the MSM not much has changed, it’s gross. Profit over humanity.
Emilio obviously had untreated mental illness. It’s sad to see three lives destroyed.
On a light note, that intro took me back to my teenage years. Mid 90s coming in strong.
I was marathoning your channel all day!
Thank you for this video. This horrible 😞 case was shown on the HBO documentary Violence: An American Tradition in the segment on domestic violence.
I remember. I still have that airing somewhere.
@EvilIntentions Yup. It's a good documentary.
Omg i remember this very very sad😢
This man hated his wife more than he loved his daughter....Great work on the video
You’ve got one of the best narrating voices! Very calming, but not dull or boring.
Love this channel. Thank you for bringing awareness to the black and brown communities .
Condolences to the family ... 🙏😔
I'm never this early. I just recently found your channel. I love the way you tell a story and that you tell stories a lot of people have never heard about! You are one of my favorites and you should have WAY MORE subscribers! I wish you nothing but continued success!
Thank you for the kind words! Appreciate you being here!
So heartbreaking, thank you for covering the stories with such care and respect.
I've always seen this horrifying clip throughout the years, but I never dug deep into this story. Thank you for putting me on! Your channel is really the truth. I love your content!
Brother, you brought back hella memories with this one, born n raised in south Florida I remember this vividly.
Have a Peruvian background so of course the TV was locked on telemundo etc. and I remember watching with my moms this entire story play out being 7 years old at the time…
Love what you do to bring awareness, and I hope you do more on events that took place here in Florida.
Can’t wait for the next video.
Hey, I actually went to Northeast high school with Yoandra. She was the sweetest girl. This fucked everyone up for awhile. Such a tragedy.
Thank you for the upload Jose ❤
Thank you for taking the time to watch!
OMG growing up in eastharlem el barrio all these channels were our parents life line to it all. To have migrated from PR to new York in the 90s it was truly a blessing to see something in my language ❤
Omg I'm from New Orleans and I very well remember this case shown on our local news stations!! This case haunted me for many years as I was a very sheltered child and didn't know about the evil in the real world...
Thank you for bringing this beautiful woman's memory back to us❤
Thank you sooo much for the intro! I’m from L.A. but this was my era too! Even the pepto commercial I remember. I thought this was was lost to my memory and history but 1000% thank you for that!
You can tell she was debating on getting out of the car. So sad. 😢
Man I remember seeing this when I was just a little girl 😢. I am now 35 years old but this incident always remained stuck in my memory, even now. 💔🙏🏾🙏🏾
Wow… you took me back… I remember watching this on TV. Very well retold. Much love and respect! 💯
This was so well done. Love your videos!
Dead beat dads always use the same excuses 😂 it’s like there’s a secret book they all buy that gives them answers to give for when someone asks them why they don’t see their kid/s
Shakespeare himself could not have written a tragedy of that magnitude!
Thank you for your fairness, truth and overall, compassion in every episode.
Jose, once again, thank you for what you do. Sending all my love. R.I.P. Yoandra and Maritza. You will never be forgotten. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Probably imo the best youtube channel hands down...❤❤
Thank you so much!
This brought me back to my childhood! 😊 Oh WOW this story escalated quickly 😮 insane.
Oh man, that intro...(spot on Sir, spot on) 👍🏼 The NOSTALGIA!
Yes
and if the baby had lived would have been 31. tragic
As always you speak with only respect
Thank you!
Thank you Jose for telling Yoandra's and Maritza's story....My condolences to the family of Yoandra and Maritza. RIP 🙏🏼🕊️❤️
RIP to both mother and daughter 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Ii can't believe this man takes no blame in what and how his daughter felt and did. He blames the mother who raised her fed her clothed her etc. A real POS.
Just because the parent fed you and clothed you and goes to church every Sunday does not mean that you are a good person/parent.
I was not expecting that ever !
Lots of love and peace from Ireland 🇮🇪
As always!! This is so well written,so raw and real.... This channel is going to keep getting bigger and every single view is well deserved!!!❤❤❤
Thank you so much!
You have a soft deep voice that tells these horrible tales with respect and calm...thank you for bringing a voice to these fallen angels
Great video Jose. And such a sad story. Respect. D
This was really close to home. I attended summer school at Rickards Middle School in 1997. The father was deranged and the police let Maritza down. I'm sorry Yoandra felt so alone that she ended it all. May God continue to cover Maritza's son and husband.
I was 17 years old when this happened.... Ocurrió así exploded this video to infinity... they were playing it all the time,at all times... Over and over again... And I remember I thought it looks a little bit fake.
Very sad story. Thank you for sharing. Rest in peace and love mother and daughter.
I was just 10 when I saw the news about this but the situation. It was never explained like this. I only heard it was a DV situation.
Now I cry knowing the backstory.
Thanks you for covering these stories.
21:22 wow so not only was he a dead beat but he also ceaselessly made her life hell after losing her child, which was obviously cos he felt guilty for never bothering with her before she passed, to them unalive her 😢
Correction- 'Their child'. The fathers ONLY child. They also lost a grandchild. The parents and stepfather failed and all 3 ended up with full regrets right after Yoandra took her own life.
My husband grew up watching Univision and Galavision, he told me about seeing this video but neither of us knew the whole backstory. You're a fantastic storyteller.
Condolences to the family this is so sad😢😔💔
I remembered watching this with my mom & we were in total shock! Spanish news always used to show way more uncensored news than U S. television
This man just took me back to the days of living with my grandmother on Halsey Street
Bro your channel is the best. And your voice is wow. Ahh yeah the novelas took me back. Thank you for sharing this story so sad
Truly sad case.💔Thank you for sharing.
Thank you once again for your excellent and sympathetic coverage of people's stories.
I think the daughter was experiencing something within that family that we may never know. Poor child! RIP
God bless Sr. & Martin for coming to Maritza's defense when she could no longer speak for herself. I did not expect to cry so hard watching this!
Good respectful storytelling ❤
Damn these old school Spanish commercials take me back in my childhood days…rip to the mother and daughter 🙏🏾🕊️ it’s sucks that the daughter never got the chance to experience her adult life and the mother was gone in the prime of her life and would of celebrated her birthday today.
You have an incredible talent for doing this. You manage to take me to NY from New Zealand in very real stories told with feeling. Thankyou 😢
I love your videos you always do an amazing job covering these stories 🤗❤
Thank you!
@EvilIntentions your welcome😊
Thank you so much, José, for not only your dedication to bringing us such high-quality documentaries but also for sharing your incredible talent for storytelling and sharing these dark, tragic cases. I really respect the way you spend a large portion of the video bringing the victims "back to life" and don't rely on the sensationalism of the case. This story is so important for many to hear - rest peacefully, Maritza and Yoandra. Your stories won't be forgotten 💔💔
