He opened it carefully. Inside was a drawing. A drawing made with crayons, clearly by a very young child.
It showed a house, a figure lying on the ground, and a man standing next to it.
The man was wearing a blue shirt. At the bottom, someone had written a date: 5 years ago, three days after Sara’s death.
Dolores turned the drawing over. On the back was a message written in adult handwriting. If anyone sees this, it’s too late, but if there’s still time, keep looking.

She examined the drawing again, the blue shirt, the photos Carlos had shown her. Gonzalo always wore blue shirts. Salomé had drawn what she saw that night.
