A call at 01:00 woke up Luisa. A little asleep, the 56 year old woman rushed down the stairs to answer the phone. The voice of a woman, in her 50s, with a Latin accent, told her she was the lawyer of her son Patricio and she was calling from the US because he was detained there. He was a fisherman and along with two other colleagues he disappeared two years ago at the end of his workday.

For four months they were reported missing. But it was later revealed that the group had been caught because they were apparently carrying drugs in a boat in international waters.
