0:38

the morning of January 25th, 2019, Liz Barraza, a 29-year-old

0:40

beloved wife and daughter, set

0:45

up a garage sale in the driveway of her

0:47

Tom Ball, Texas, home. Just

0:50

before 7 a.m., a suspect

0:52

driving a dark, Nissan Frontier truck

0:54

parked across the street, exited

0:57

the vehicle, and swiftly approached Liz

0:59

in the driveway. The

1:01

suspect then shot Liz four times before

1:03

sprinting back to the truck and fleeing

1:05

the scene. Despite a

1:08

surveillance camera capturing the entire incident,

1:10

the police have yet to identify the suspect.

1:13

It's been just over five years since Liz

1:15

was killed, and investigators are still

1:18

searching for the person responsible. Hey,

1:57

everyone. Welcome back to Detective Perspective. My name

1:59

is Derek. I'm a licensed

2:01

private investigator and former police detective.

2:04

Each week I'll be covering an unsolved case and story

2:06

format. I'll then give you my perspective

2:08

on the investigation and provide contact information

2:11

for the individuals or organizations connected to

2:13

the case so that if you have

2:15

any tips, you can contact them

2:17

directly and maybe you can help solve a case.

2:20

If you're someone who's interested in true

2:22

crime, specifically unsolved cases, and

2:24

you would like to hear my opinion on those investigations,

2:27

please consider subscribing whether you're watching

2:29

right now on YouTube or listening

2:32

on Apple Podcasts or Spotify or

2:34

whatever platform you use. Okay, you

2:36

just heard the teaser for Liz

2:38

Barraza. It's a

2:40

pretty self-explanatory opening. There's

2:44

really not too much, I guess,

2:46

like hidden traps to this one. There

2:48

is a mystery, obviously. That's why we're covering it.

2:51

I think the uniqueness of this case

2:53

in particular compared to our other cases

2:55

that we've covered on detective

2:57

perspective is the fact that we

3:00

have the entire crime caught on film. This

3:02

is the first time we really have this.

3:04

And not only do we have it, but

3:07

we have it from multiple angles, although

3:09

one angle you can't see much,

3:11

but you can hear a lot. And

3:14

we're going to play both of those clips tonight for you.

3:17

Discretion, the first one specifically,

3:19

you can see the murder, although it's in the

3:21

distance. For those of

3:23

you who may be sensitive to that, just a little

3:25

bit of a warning. And I'll give you it again

3:27

as we go through the episode. But we're not the

3:30

first ones to cover this case. I know Kendall Rae

3:32

has covered it. I believe

3:34

Investigation Discovery has covered it as

3:36

well. So really with this

3:38

one, what we're trying to do is just give

3:40

some more exposure to a case that you

3:42

would think would be solved by this point. But we've

3:45

talked a lot about it. I'm giving you some of

3:47

the things to come. Let's not

3:49

waste any more time. Let's dive right into the case.

3:52

Elizabeth Marie Nellie, known as Liz, was born on

3:54

June 26, 1989 to Bob and Rosemary. Her

4:00

parents described her as someone who always saw the

4:02

best in people. Liz was

4:04

generous, thoughtful, and she always

4:06

aimed to make a positive impact on others. After

4:09

graduating from high school in 2008, Liz

4:12

attended Sam Houston State University. During

4:15

her time there, Liz met and started

4:17

dating Sergio Barraza. They

4:19

connected over their shared passion for Harry Potter

4:21

and Star Wars, as well as their love

4:24

for creating costumes. In

4:27

2012, Liz graduated from Sam

4:29

Houston State University with a bachelor's degree

4:31

in psychology. Less than

4:33

two years later, on February 1, 2014, Liz and Sergio

4:35

married. Liz

4:39

went on to work for the Rosen Group as

4:41

a data reporter while Sergio worked for his father

4:43

as a crew chief installing flooring. Liz

4:46

and Sergio were also members of the 501st

4:48

Legion, a group of volunteers who dressed

4:50

up in costumes from Star Wars and

4:53

would visit children in hospitals in the Houston

4:55

area. In

4:57

2016, the couple purchased a home in the 8600

5:00

block of Cedar Walk Drive. The

5:02

house was in the Princeton Place subdivision

5:04

located in Tombaugh, a suburb of Houston.

5:08

Neighbors described Liz and Sergio as friendly

5:10

and welcoming people who always said hi.

5:13

By the time early 2019 rolled around,

5:16

Liz and Sergio were preparing to celebrate

5:18

their fifth wedding anniversary. According

5:20

to Who Killed Liz Barraza, a website

5:22

run by Liz's parents, the

5:24

couple planned a trip to Orlando to celebrate. They

5:27

were supposed to leave on Sunday, January 27. On

5:32

Thursday, January 24, Liz

5:34

spontaneously decided to host a garage sale

5:36

to raise extra money for souvenirs on

5:38

their trip. The sale was

5:40

scheduled for Friday the 25th and

5:42

Saturday the 26th. On

5:45

Thursday evening, Sergio and Liz placed a few

5:47

garage sale signs in the neighborhood. They

5:50

didn't advertise the sale on social media but they

5:52

did tell a few friends and family. Liz

5:55

also called her job to take Friday off

5:57

while Sergio still had plans to work. On

6:00

Friday, the 25th, at around 6.10 a.m.,

6:03

Liz drove to the local Starbucks to get a coffee.

6:06

Less than 10 minutes later, she returned home and

6:08

began setting up for the garage sale with Sergio.

6:12

Then just after 6.45 a.m., Sergio

6:14

left for work, and Liz

6:16

continued getting ready for the sale. At

6:18

6.53 a.m., a neighbor

6:21

across the street called 911, reporting

6:23

four gunshots and a dark-colored Nissan

6:25

Frontier leaving the Barraza house. While

6:28

still on the call, the neighbor mentioned the

6:31

Frontier now driving back by the house. Five

6:34

minutes later, first responders arrived.

6:37

Officers secured the scene while EMS called for

6:39

a life flight. After the

6:41

helicopter arrived, Liz was airlifted to

6:43

the hospital in very critical condition.

6:46

Officers entered Liz's house to clear and secure

6:49

it. They didn't find anyone inside, but

6:51

they did trigger an alarm Liz had set

6:53

to alert her in case the door was

6:55

opened. At that moment, Liz's

6:57

parents were notified by the alarm company

6:59

about the triggered alarm. After

7:02

calling Liz and getting no response, they hurried

7:04

to her home, arriving just after 7.30 a.m.

7:08

Upon discovering that Liz had been shot and taken

7:10

to the hospital, Rosemary and Bob

7:12

went to see their daughter, who was eventually

7:14

placed on life support. Meanwhile,

7:17

Sergio also received the alarm

7:19

notification. He checked his

7:21

ring doorbell live feed and noticed police tape

7:24

and officers. Sergio then started

7:26

going through the safe footage to see if he

7:28

could figure out what was going on. He

7:30

found a video capturing Liz screaming as

7:32

gunshots rang out. Now Sergio

7:34

could only hear what was going on because

7:37

the camera angle prevented him from seeing the

7:39

events. He immediately rushed home.

7:42

When Sergio arrived, he was detained by

7:44

law enforcement for questioning. He

7:46

explained that he left the house just after 6.45 a.m. and went to

7:49

work. He also showed the

7:52

police the ring doorbell footage of the

7:54

gunshots and Liz screaming. While the actual

7:56

shooting wasn't captured, the video told police

7:58

that at 6.52. At

8:00

2 a.m., Liz said good morning to someone

8:02

who had likely approached her in the driveway.

8:05

For the next six or so seconds, nothing

8:07

else can be heard until three quick shots ring

8:09

out and Liz screams multiple times.

8:12

A few seconds pass and another shot rings

8:15

out. The screaming stops and

8:17

seconds later a dark-colored Nissan Frontier speeds

8:20

in. After Sergio

8:22

was released from questioning, he and his mom

8:24

went to the hospital. The

8:26

police continued processing the scene. They didn't

8:28

find any murder weapon or spent shell

8:31

casings, leading police to theorize that the

8:33

killer used a revolver to avoid leaving

8:35

evidence. The police were able

8:37

to recover one round that was embedded in

8:39

the house. They later told

8:42

Investigation Discovery that it was a small

8:44

to medium-sized caliber, possibly a 380. The

8:47

police further noticed that the killer didn't steal a cash

8:49

box with $100 inside, which

8:52

meant that robbery was most likely not the

8:54

motive for Liz's murder. The

8:56

police then started canvassing the neighborhood,

8:58

hoping to find someone who witnessed

9:01

the shooting. They didn't find anyone who saw

9:03

the actual shooting, but they did learn

9:05

that the neighbor across the street had a security

9:07

camera pointed right at the Barraza home. The

9:10

police immediately retrieved the footage and were able to

9:12

locate a video of the shooting, which

9:14

showed a Nissan Frontier park across the street from

9:16

the Barraza home at 6.52 a.m. The

9:20

killer left the car running and exited the

9:22

driver's side door. They walked

9:24

in front of the car's headlights and

9:26

quickly went up to Liz, who was setting up things

9:28

for the garage sale in the driveway. Now,

9:31

I'm going to play the video for you of the shooting,

9:34

and as I said in the opening, it's

9:37

blurry, I wish it wasn't. You

9:39

can definitely see the shooting, although it's

9:41

in the distance, so just to warn

9:43

you, it could be considered graphic to

9:45

some. There is no audio

9:47

for this clip, so if you're listening on audio,

9:49

I do apologize, you may have a

9:52

minute or two of blank sound, or maybe I

9:54

can have Shannon cut that out for the audio

9:56

version, but for the video version, we're going to

9:58

play that clip now. When

11:01

due to the video's quality, the police couldn't make

11:03

out a clear description of the killer. However,

11:05

they noticed that the suspect was wearing

11:07

knee-high light colored boots, possibly a moo

11:10

moo dress, a long jacket or

11:12

robe, and maybe a wig. The

11:14

killer's gender wasn't certain, but

11:16

it was evident they were wearing a disguise. After

11:19

the killer approached Liz in the driveway, they pulled

11:21

out a gun. Liz flinched

11:23

and stepped back. The killer

11:26

spoke to her for about six seconds, but

11:28

unfortunately the exact words are unknown. Then

11:31

three quick shots were fired. After

11:34

Liz collapsed, the suspect stood over her

11:36

and fired a fourth shot point blank.

11:39

An autopsy later revealed that the first shot went

11:41

through the side of Liz's neck, exiting

11:44

and hitting the house. The next

11:46

two shots were in her chest and the

11:48

final shot was in her face. After

11:51

shooting Liz four times, the killer sprinted back

11:54

to their Nissan Frontier truck and drove off.

11:57

The entire incident lasted about 30

11:59

seconds. Liz's murder

12:01

had been very calculated and cold-blooded. It

12:04

was obvious from the video that she had been targeted.

12:07

The police later told Investigation Discovery that they

12:09

were struck by how brazen the murder was.

12:12

The killer had to know that there was a chance someone

12:14

could have witnessed the shooting. It was

12:16

almost 7 AM on a weekday, meaning people in

12:19

the neighborhood could have been leaving for work. The

12:22

police reviewed surveillance footage from the surrounding areas

12:24

and they were able to put together a

12:26

more detailed timeline of the Nissan Frontier's movements.

12:29

At approximately 2 AM on January 25,

12:31

the Nissan Frontier drove

12:33

by Liz's home, leaving police to believe that

12:35

the killer could have been casing the house.

12:38

On the morning of the incident at

12:40

6.47 AM, the Frontier pulled

12:42

into the Barrazas neighborhood and drove into

12:45

the Gardard School parking lot. One

12:47

minute later, the truck left the school parking lot

12:50

and drove to a different street. At

12:52

that exact time, Sergio left home to go

12:54

to work. Just three

12:56

minutes later, at 6.51 AM, the

12:59

Nissan Frontier drove toward the Barraza home.

13:02

KPRC2 reported that due to the Frontier

13:04

moving so quickly after Sergio left the

13:07

house, the police theorized that the killer

13:09

was waiting for Sergio to leave. This

13:11

also meant that the killer would have had to

13:13

have known what kind of car Sergio was driving.

13:16

Furthermore, the killer had to know that Liz

13:18

was going to be home alone instead of on

13:20

her way to work like she normally would be

13:22

doing on a Friday morning. At

13:25

6.52 AM, the truck did a three-point

13:27

turn on the Barrazas street before parking

13:29

across the Barraza home. The

13:31

killer exited the truck, went to

13:33

the driveway, shot Liz, and then got back

13:36

into the truck and took off. Now,

13:38

here's the interesting thing. At

13:41

6.55 AM, the truck exited the

13:43

subdivision but then did a

13:45

U-turn to re-enter the neighborhood and drove

13:47

back by Liz's house. Now,

13:49

based on this move, the police believed the

13:51

killer wanted to make sure that Liz

13:53

was dead. One detective later

13:56

said, quote, I feel they

13:58

contacted somebody and said, hey, The

14:00

job's done. And then that person said,

14:02

are you sure? And they turned around

14:04

and drove by the scene one more time. The

14:07

video of the shooting and the truck

14:09

traveling around the neighborhood was released almost

14:11

immediately to the public in the hopes

14:13

that someone could help identify the suspect

14:15

or the truck. The lead

14:17

detective later told investigation discovery that he thought

14:19

they'd have the case solved by the end

14:22

of the day. But unfortunately,

14:24

that wasn't the case. Now,

14:26

while the police continued their investigation, Liz's

14:28

family was by her side at the

14:30

hospital. On Saturday,

14:33

January 26th, Elizabeth

14:35

Barraza was pronounced dead. Now,

14:37

I think it's important to note that Liz had chosen

14:39

to be an organ donor. And as a result, her

14:42

heart, liver, both kidneys and corneas

14:44

were donated. She ended

14:47

up saving four lives and gave another the

14:49

gift of sight. Now, as

14:51

the family began planning Liz's funeral, the

14:53

police tried identifying the killer's truck, which

14:55

had already been identified as a dark colored 2013 to 2019

14:58

Nissan Frontier Pro 4x model with four doors and a crew

15:00

cab. The

15:06

police looked at hundreds of vehicles that matched the

15:08

truck, but they didn't have any luck

15:10

identifying the one scene on the videos. The

15:13

police eventually asked Sergio and Liz's parents

15:15

to watch the surveillance footage they had

15:17

obtained. Bob said hearing

15:20

Liz say good morning to the killer told

15:22

him that she didn't know them, she probably

15:24

assumed they were there for the garage sale

15:26

until she saw the gun. Rosemary

15:29

said that seeing Liz step back after she saw the

15:31

gun was the worst part of the video. She

15:34

knew that Liz was afraid at that moment and

15:36

it destroyed Rosemary to see her daughter like that.

15:39

And unfortunately, Liz's parents and Sergio did

15:42

not recognize the killer or the truck

15:44

in the video. On

15:46

February 6th, Crimestoppers of Houston hosted a

15:48

press conference to announce a reward of

15:50

$20,000. Bob

15:53

spoke at the conference stating, quote, a

15:55

coward drove up, approached my daughter

15:58

and forever changed our lives. An

16:00

unknown assailant shot and killed an unarmed

16:02

and defenseless woman and a brutal act

16:05

that demands justice. We

16:07

never imagined a life without her. We

16:09

still can't. Sergio also

16:11

spoke stating, quote, My wife

16:14

Liz was a beautiful person with the

16:16

kindest of souls. Tragically

16:18

someone stole that away from us on the morning of

16:20

January 25th. I don't

16:22

understand how someone could do this to her. She

16:25

didn't deserve to pass away like this. How

16:27

someone could be so monstrous to commit an act

16:29

like this, I just really can't

16:32

understand. I had to trade

16:34

our fifth anniversary for a funeral. We

16:36

need justice for Liz. I

16:38

need justice for Liz. I love

16:40

you, Liz. Unfortunately,

16:43

the press conference didn't bring in the leads

16:45

police were looking for, so

16:47

they continued on with their investigation. In

16:50

order to narrow down the suspect pool,

16:52

the police concentrated on identifying someone who

16:54

knew the following, where Liz

16:56

lived, what Sergio's car looked

16:58

like and what time he left for work, and

17:01

that Liz would be hosting a garage sale

17:03

by herself instead of going to work. The

17:06

suspect also had to know where to park

17:08

and how to approach Liz to avoid being

17:10

captured by the Barrazas ring doorbell camera. To

17:13

start, the police worked on coming up with a list

17:15

of people who knew about the garage sale because

17:18

Liz didn't post about the sale on social media

17:20

and she only put up signs that made the

17:22

pool of people pretty small. The

17:25

police found out that Liz's coworkers all knew about

17:27

the sale since she had taken the day off

17:29

from work, but all of the coworkers

17:31

were accounted for at work at the time of

17:33

the shooting. That just left

17:35

Sergio and a few friends and family that

17:37

knew about the sale and as expected, the

17:40

police focused their investigation on Sergio since he

17:42

was Liz's husband. At

17:44

this point, the police knew Sergio couldn't be the

17:47

killer because he was on his way to work

17:49

when the shooting happened and he didn't fit the

17:51

suspect description, but they wondered if it

17:53

was possible he hired someone to kill Liz.

17:56

The police told investigation discovery that they

17:59

were suspicious of Sergio for more reasons

18:01

than just him being her husband. They

18:03

actually found his behavior unusual after he arrived

18:05

at the house on the morning of the

18:08

murder. When he showed

18:10

them the ring doorbell footage, he displayed

18:12

no emotional response and remained unaffected by

18:14

the sound of his wife's screams during

18:16

the shooting. A conversation

18:18

between Sergio and an officer was recorded

18:21

by one officer's patrol car, and

18:23

in the video Sergio can be heard saying quote,

18:26

oh my god dude this is crazy, so

18:28

they just fucking shot her and left? Now

18:31

some people have pointed to this video as

18:33

further evidence that Sergio didn't have the typical

18:35

response you would expect in a situation like

18:37

this. Another thing that

18:40

police had noticed was that after they released Sergio

18:42

from detainment and allowed him to leave the scene,

18:44

he didn't seem in a hurry to get to the hospital. He

18:47

stuck around the house to talk to neighbors and the media.

18:50

All of this behavior struck the police as odd.

18:53

Sergio didn't fit the profile of a distressed husband

18:56

who just found out that his wife had been

18:58

shot four times in the driveway. Thinking

19:01

Sergio could have something to do with Liz's

19:03

murder, the police asked him about Liz's life

19:05

insurance. He said that Liz had

19:07

life insurance through her work, but he didn't

19:09

think the amount was very high. The

19:11

police looked into the policy and learned that she was

19:13

actually worth quite a bit, $250,000. And

19:18

if Liz died by an accident or murder, the

19:20

policy would double to be worth $500,000. The

19:24

police looked into Sergio and Liz's relationship further and

19:26

tried to find if there were any signs of

19:28

trouble or an affair. But

19:31

after speaking to friends and family and

19:33

scouring Liz and Sergio's phones, they

19:35

found no signs of any issues. In

19:37

fact, it seemed like they were a young couple having the time

19:39

of their lives. But

19:41

just to be sure they weren't missing anything,

19:43

the police also looked into Sergio's bank records.

19:46

And as far as we know,

19:48

they found no unusual financial transactions

19:50

before or after Liz's murder. The

19:52

police also asked Sergio to take a polygraph test

19:55

and he agreed. They later

19:57

told Investigation Discovery that he passed the

19:59

test, however, the police have never ruled

20:01

Sergio out as a suspect. They

20:03

have stated they won't rule anyone out until they

20:05

find the killer. When you

21:08

looking like the top suspect, the

21:10

police decided to look at the video of the shooting

21:12

again and noticed that the

21:14

killer was wearing knee-high, light-colored boots, almost

21:17

like what someone dressed up as a stormtrooper

21:19

would be wearing. The police

21:21

spoke with Sergio and asked if anyone at the 501st group

21:24

had a grudge against Liz and would want her dead,

21:27

but he couldn't think of anyone. The

21:30

police vetted every member of the group anyway, but

21:32

didn't identify any suspects. By

21:35

November of 2019, the

21:37

police hadn't determined any motive for Liz's murder.

21:41

Despite this, the lead detective told the media that

21:43

he believed more than one person was involved.

21:46

He didn't elaborate further. Now,

21:49

real quickly, I don't know what

21:51

to take from this. I

21:53

always say this. I don't have access to the entire

21:56

case. I think

21:58

what he's trying to say, if I'm reading between the... the

22:00

lines is that he

22:02

believes the person who actually shot Liz

22:05

was either doing this for

22:07

someone else or

22:09

because of someone else. And

22:12

I'll kind of get into that

22:14

a little bit here, I guess. It's

22:16

one of those situations where you want to point

22:18

out the obvious. Either

22:21

this person was hired by someone to

22:23

kill Liz or

22:25

because of something that Liz was

22:28

involved in or because of someone Liz

22:30

was involved with, this person

22:32

wanted her dead. It was more

22:35

advantageous for Liz to no longer be in the picture. What

22:38

am I saying by that? Just not to be cryptic. If

22:41

Sergio was dating someone else, maybe

22:44

this person was the individual that Sergio

22:46

was dating and in order for Sergio

22:48

and her to be together, she

22:52

shot Liz. And I'm

22:54

saying this because it's

22:56

not a strong theory, but I will say that there

22:58

are people when I've been reading some stuff online

23:00

who have suggested, and I'm not even going to say

23:03

her name, but Sergio's

23:05

new wife kind of fits

23:07

the description of the person in the video. But

23:10

as I said earlier, the person

23:12

in the video may be wearing a

23:14

disguise for that purpose, to throw off

23:16

what they really look like. So

23:19

I don't put too much weight in it, but I

23:21

also don't discredit it. But to kind of bring this

23:23

back to the point of what the detective

23:25

said, sure, it looks like this

23:28

person had an axe to grind with Liz

23:30

because of someone and that someone

23:32

would know who this person was or

23:35

just straightforward, this person was hired

23:37

by another individual to kill Liz.

23:40

Now by January 25th, 2020, one

23:43

year had passed since Liz was murdered. Her

23:45

family spoke with ABC 13 to mark

23:48

the somber occasion. Liz's father

23:50

Bob said the shock and horror of Liz's

23:52

murder made no sense. He added

23:54

that even if they learn who the killer is

23:56

and why Liz was killed, to them,

23:58

the why will not be seen. never make sense.

24:02

Sergio described the shooting as the worst day of his

24:04

life. He said he and

24:06

Liz should still be together and they should

24:08

be talking about planning their next anniversary trip.

24:11

The lead detective also spoke to the media and

24:13

said there was now a warrant in the case,

24:15

but he didn't explain what the warrant was for.

24:19

All he said was, quote, I

24:21

feel the result of the warrant will be

24:23

critical in the investigation and most likely will

24:25

expose a suspect and who's responsible for this.

24:29

Unfortunately, it looks like he was

24:31

wrong. By January 2021,

24:34

two years had passed since Liz was murdered. The

24:37

police provided an update stating they had

24:39

identified some suspects, but were still working

24:41

on others. They also

24:43

released new footage in the case. It

24:46

was the video that Sergio found on the

24:48

home's ring doorbell camera. All right.

24:50

Now, before I play this video, two

24:52

things. First off, you don't

24:54

see anything, but you definitely

24:56

hear Liz being shot

24:59

and her screaming. So just a warning

25:01

about that. Secondly, your human

25:03

nature is going to be to turn this volume all

25:05

the way up to try to hear what Liz and

25:07

the suspect are saying to each other. Refrain

25:09

from doing that initially. The gunshots

25:12

are very, very loud. And if

25:14

you're wearing headphones, it will hurt

25:16

your ears. I know this because

25:18

I did it to mine the first time through. So

25:21

take my advice. Don't turn it up right away.

25:24

Listen or watch the video and then decide the volume

25:26

control from there. But I'm going to play the clip

25:28

now and we'll get right back into it. Alright,

26:02

so like we were just talking about, the

26:04

shooting wasn't caught on the camera due to

26:06

the angle, but the camera did

26:08

capture the Nissan Frontier driving by the

26:10

house multiple times. This

26:12

video also had a clearer photo of the

26:14

truck than had been previously released, so the

26:16

police asked people to focus on looking at

26:19

the truck. They were hoping

26:21

someone who knew something would see the video

26:23

and finally come forward. The police

26:25

also had a direct message for the killer. They

26:28

said, quote, I hope you can't sleep

26:30

at night and that you know we are

26:32

never going to stop looking for Liz's murderer. There

26:35

is no time limit on this case. For

26:37

the next year, Rosemary and Bob

26:39

continued advocating for Liz's case and raising

26:42

money to increase the reward. They

26:44

also set up a website titled Who Killed

26:46

Liz Barraza to share information about who Liz

26:49

was, the facts of the case, and tip

26:51

line info. Now in

26:53

January of 2022, three years

26:55

had passed since Liz was killed. Bob

26:57

and Rosemary told the media they still weren't sure

27:00

why Liz was killed and they couldn't

27:02

think of anyone who would want to hurt her. Bob

27:05

and Rosemary said they were going to keep fighting

27:07

for justice in Liz's case no matter how long

27:09

it took. They wanted to get

27:11

the killer off the street and get justice for

27:13

their daughter because she deserves that. That

27:16

month, a press conference was held and a $50,000

27:19

reward was announced. Sergio

27:22

spoke at the conference stating, quote, I

27:25

just hope this helps. And I

27:27

hope someone steps up. We need

27:29

somebody to do the right thing. We

27:31

need justice for Liz. And we hope

27:33

to get that this year. The

27:35

police also provided an update stating the case

27:38

was still active and detectives had just gone

27:40

to Miami to interview a person of interest.

27:43

However, they needed more tips in order to

27:45

solve this case. By

27:47

January of 2023, four years had passed. So

27:51

Bob and Rosemary sat down with a news outlet

27:53

for an interview. Bob said

27:55

that he wouldn't wish the last four years of their

27:57

life on anybody, but at the end of the day,

27:59

all they care about are the people that

28:01

did this getting caught and kept from ever doing

28:03

this to another family." Bob

28:06

and Rosemary also spoke about Liz

28:08

and Sergio's relationship. Bob said

28:10

they were two wonderful people and when they

28:12

were together they were even better. Rosemary

28:15

added quote, Liz was such a

28:17

kind person. Maybe somebody was jealous of

28:19

her. Maybe they were jealous of

28:22

Sergio and Liz's relationship. Sergio,

28:24

who had recently remarried, also sat down

28:27

for an interview with the same news

28:29

outlet. He said a lot

28:31

of people consider him the prime suspect in Liz's

28:33

death, but he wasn't involved. He

28:35

stated quote, I know people immediately say it was the

28:38

husband who did it. I understand that, but you had

28:40

to know Liz and I. You had to see

28:42

us. I still love her to this

28:44

day. Liz was amazing. It was like

28:46

a fairy tale that we had together. In

28:48

December of 2023, the FBI and Texas

28:51

Rangers joined the investigation. The

28:54

lead detective told the media that the

28:56

added agency's expertise and resources would allow

28:58

them to further examine evidence and jump

29:00

on new leads. He believes

29:02

that they are closer than ever to solving Liz's

29:04

murder, but it's going to take that one

29:07

person who knows something to come forward. The

29:10

detective also stated that over the years,

29:12

the police have gathered new evidence. However, he could

29:15

not go into detail about what that evidence was.

29:18

Now, unfortunately, this is the

29:20

last update we have in this case. The

29:22

police are still searching for the killer and

29:25

Liz's family remains desperate for answers. When

phonogamy. Free of contracts and more flexible to

30:34

again. When always

30:36

qualify this gone off. When.

30:39

I can see what I can hear when

30:41

I know about this case and I obviously

30:43

don't have access to the case files and

30:45

if I did, I. May feel

30:47

differently but going off what we know. Let's

30:50

talk about the the murder itself first. Because.

30:53

We do have that. We do have the video. We.

30:55

Do have the audio. And.

30:57

Are things that you can take away. From.

31:00

What you can see in here. That.

31:03

Are indisputable. Their fact. We.

31:06

Can see that it was deliberate. We.

31:08

Can see. That. It

31:11

was intentional. And.

31:13

I think it's fairly easy to deduce

31:15

that. With. A high degree of

31:17

certainty that. Lives was the

31:19

target. No doubt about it, he was

31:21

the target. And. The intent. Was.

31:24

To kill Her. Wasn't. To

31:26

send a message wasn't to inquire

31:28

about something. Wasn't. To steal

31:30

something from her? It was to kill

31:32

her. How do we know that?

31:35

Well. As I said in

31:38

the earlier description of the case,

31:40

We. Know that. Obviously

31:43

she was killed on January twenty fifth, but

31:45

also. There's strong evidence through

31:47

surveillance that she was. That. The

31:49

house with case before that. And.

31:52

That. Tells us that these individuals were

31:55

this individual. Was. Gathering

31:57

intelligence was was getting familiar.

32:00

Witnesses the surroundings. Was.

32:02

Trying to understand the best way to get

32:04

in there and get out of there without

32:06

being seen. Or. Heard from which

32:08

is a whole different thing because.

32:11

On the surface you would think that this

32:13

was a. Professional. Hit. That.

32:15

This was a. Size. Done

32:17

by someone who. Had may

32:20

be done this before. But.

32:22

If that were the case, Would.

32:25

They choose to. Go.

32:28

Into a neighborhood that. Is.

32:30

Bound to have numerous cameras.

32:33

Including a camera on the house of the

32:36

of the victim. With.

32:38

They run the risk of going in there

32:40

with a vehicle that's gonna obviously be seen.

32:43

Ah, Do. What they want

32:45

to do and then get out of air in. In

32:47

again two thousand and nineteen. that

32:49

wasn't too long ago. The technologies

32:51

their brings their. On the

32:53

other side of the coin you could say maybe the car

32:56

had been stolen. Maybe. Was a. A

32:58

dumb vehicle. Maybe they wore a disguise knowing

33:00

hey, we're probably going to get picked up.

33:03

By some cameras but.

33:06

We're. Going to get rid of this car immediately after

33:08

the fact, so it really doesn't matter and we're going

33:10

to wear disguise so that doesn't matter either. But.

33:12

What that could also mean. Instead of this

33:14

professional who plotted this whole thing, you didn't

33:16

really care that the car was gonna be

33:18

seen on camera. This. Could

33:21

be an indication that it was personal,

33:23

that it was emotional. That.

33:25

This person was not a professional and just.

33:28

Wanted. List dead for whatever reason? we

33:30

don't know, but they just wanted her

33:32

dead in there were so angry with

33:35

something she had done or said. We're.

33:37

Been a part of that. They just they wanted to kill

33:39

her. Okay, we can. Now

33:41

that's a possibility. We haven't seen any signs

33:43

of A or are indications why someone would

33:45

want to do that, but maybe there's something

33:48

we don't know so we'll put that on

33:50

the table as well. Could have been a

33:52

professional hit, It could have been a personal

33:54

attack. Either. Way you pick your

33:56

poison. Both. situations

33:58

the intent was to kill her,

34:00

not to wound her, not to take something from

34:02

her, not to scare her. They

34:05

shot her four times. And

34:07

on the fourth shot, as I described in the story, and

34:09

as you seen with your own eyes, they

34:12

stood over her and shot her in the head to

34:14

ensure that she was going to die. And

34:16

if that wasn't enough, which we don't see very often,

34:19

the killer returned to the crime scene moments

34:22

later just to double check that

34:24

she was no longer moving and that most

34:26

likely she was already deceased. She wasn't, but

34:28

that was their hope that, hey, she's gone,

34:30

let me double check. And they went

34:32

back. That also to me doesn't sound

34:34

like a professional, someone who would

34:37

go back. But again, maybe they're not

34:39

a good professional. That's always possible. So

34:42

where are we now with this case

34:44

and who should we be potentially looking

34:46

at? Well, for one, they

34:48

looked at coworkers and apparently

34:51

they were all accounted for by that

34:53

time. If that's the case, I have

34:55

to take them at their word. But

34:58

I would go back to neighbors. The

35:01

neighbors weren't all accounted for. And

35:03

we talked about her not,

35:05

or Sergio and Liz not putting this

35:07

garage sale on social media, but they

35:09

did put out signs in the area.

35:13

And when I say neighborhood and neighbors, it

35:15

doesn't necessarily have to be someone who lives on

35:18

that street. It could be someone from a street

35:20

over. And the question

35:22

becomes, has she had any issues

35:24

with people in the past? You'd be amazed

35:26

at what people can hold on to. Did

35:28

they have a dispute over a dog or

35:30

a piece of property or I

35:33

don't know, some stupid trivial thing

35:36

that one of these individuals held

35:38

onto and

35:40

decided to do this

35:42

for whatever reason. I'm saying this, by

35:44

the way, knowing that it's

35:46

a long shot, more than likely it's not the

35:49

reason, but I'm giving you options. I'm giving different

35:51

scenarios for the sake of

35:53

being objective and open to all possibilities.

35:55

How can I cross something off the

35:57

board if it hasn't been completely ruled

35:59

out? And for me, it hasn't. There are

36:01

people in that community who were aware that

36:03

there was going to be a garage sale

36:05

on the on that morning. And could

36:08

one of them have had an ax to grind? Sure.

36:11

But let me also throw something at you. What

36:13

if it's someone who is

36:16

just a psychotic person, a potential

36:18

serial killer, and has

36:20

been wanting to do something like this for

36:22

a long time? They've had this itch they've

36:24

wanted to scratch forever and

36:26

they see the situation. They know when the husband's

36:29

leaving or they at least think they know when

36:31

the husband's leaving. They know there's a garage sale.

36:34

They've been maybe watching Liz for a while

36:36

and maybe they don't personally know her, but

36:38

for some reason they're drawn to her. Could

36:41

this be a random act of violence? Could

36:43

this be someone who had no personal connection

36:45

and was not hired by anyone, but

36:48

just was looking for the right person and the

36:50

right time to kill? And

36:53

it's as simple as that. All these serial killers we've had

36:56

from the past, they don't usually

36:58

have a connection, a personal connection

37:00

to their victims. They find someone

37:03

who's a victim of opportunity that

37:05

fits the bill, that fits whatever they're looking for,

37:08

that maybe puts that victim in a situation where they

37:10

feel they can get away with it and

37:13

they do what they want to do. It

37:15

could be that simple and that could be the explanation

37:17

as to why law enforcement has

37:19

not caught this person yet. But

37:22

let's talk about what a

37:24

lot of people are talking about. And

37:27

that's Sergio. He

37:30

himself has acknowledged that

37:32

human nature is to say the husband

37:34

did it, but

37:37

it's not only human nature. Law enforcement

37:39

has also said that his behavior after

37:41

the incident was very suspicious.

37:45

And based on what we've been told, I

37:47

would agree with that, but that could be

37:49

a personality trait. Maybe that's this form of

37:51

shock. Maybe that's how he dealt

37:54

with the trauma that he was experiencing.

37:57

But On the surface, I agree.

37:59

Suspicious, uncharacterized. For someone who

38:01

just saw or heard his wife

38:03

being brutally murdered on camera. But.

38:07

Again, This. Is given the benefit of

38:09

the doubt. There. Now tack on to

38:11

it that you do have a potential mode

38:13

of finances. right? There was nothing

38:15

in there to suggest that they were hurting for

38:17

cash, but who couldn't use an extra half a

38:19

million dollars? Is. There a

38:21

world. Where. On the surface

38:23

everything look good. Is.

38:26

There are on the world where there was no

38:28

infidelity going on behind the scenes. Nothing that would

38:30

be seen by police. But. He

38:32

was not in love with her anymore and wanted to remove

38:34

her. From. The equation wanted the money.

38:37

Is. That possible. I'd.

38:39

Be remiss if I said it wasn't of course

38:41

it's possible. And. It's a

38:43

plausible scenario. Based. On what

38:46

we've talked about so far, Am I saying

38:48

he's guilty of that? Absolutely not. But.

38:50

I think even Sergio himself. Which.

38:53

Respect. To him if he's not the person who

38:55

did this is saying Listen, I get it. I can see

38:57

how people are getting there but you didn't know his and

39:00

I, you didn't know our relationship and he may be way.

39:03

But. I've also done some research on this case

39:05

before sitting down and recording and I know. The.

39:07

Popular opinion on line and trust me, I take it

39:09

with a grain of salt is that. Sergio

39:13

wasn't bought. A lot of people believe that

39:15

and they have even gone a step further

39:17

to say that his now wife and again

39:19

not going to say her name fits the

39:21

description of this of this woman that was

39:23

in or that they believe might have been

39:25

a woman who shoot Liz fits the description

39:27

of her. Well. That's that's a

39:29

hard thing to do because again, we've

39:31

blown force been as even said, they

39:33

believed that the suspect was wearing some

39:35

type of disguise potentially, but maybe they

39:37

weren't. So. I

39:40

try to read between the lines. When.

39:42

We think about where the case is now

39:44

and what law enforcement has said will for

39:47

one, the fact that they're releasing more information

39:49

to the public as of late. Unfortunately

39:51

tells me they're not as close as they

39:54

would like to be because if they were

39:56

really on the trail. They. wouldn't

39:58

feel the need to reach out to the public there They

40:00

need more. They're not there yet. They may

40:02

have some theories. They may be strong in nature, but

40:05

they're not there yet And when they say they've gone to

40:07

places like Miami To

40:09

you know, that's a far away away from Texas

40:12

It tells me that maybe they're on to something or

40:14

maybe they're just tracking down leads and if it is

40:17

directed back to Miami that

40:20

would indicate a potential hit and If

40:24

it is a hit that goes back to the question

40:26

again Who would have a reason to

40:29

kill Liz Barraza? Who would what would the

40:31

incentive be? What would someone gain

40:34

from that and you would think it would be

40:36

finances, which is how we circle back

40:38

to Sergio But then we talk

40:40

about the pool that

40:42

law enforcement created and

40:44

I thought it was pretty smart what they

40:46

did there It's because you can take you know

40:49

create that Venn diagram right where you have

40:51

these different circles of people And

40:53

you want to see which ones overlap So

40:56

as they said you talk about

40:59

who would know That there was

41:01

a garage sale that morning. It is a small

41:03

pool, right? it is a very small pool and

41:06

then who would know that Sergio

41:08

was going to go to work and That

41:11

Liz was going to stay home because she

41:13

called out of work to work the garage

41:15

sale That Venn diagram right

41:17

there just those two groups very small. That's

41:19

why everyone's leaning towards Sergio because as They

41:23

as we kind of laid out here the

41:25

suspect sat down the street for a little

41:28

while waited for Sergio to

41:30

leave and then attacked Liz and as

41:32

you can see on the ring doorbell

41:34

camera angle The truck literally drove right

41:36

by the house pulled the three-point turn

41:38

comes back and gets out of the car.

41:40

So This

41:42

this person was waiting for Sergio to leave.

41:45

There's no doubt about it And

41:47

then finally like I said two minutes

41:49

ago those two circles, right?

41:52

Who would know that there was a

41:54

garage sale who would know? Sergio was going to

41:56

work who would know Liz was gonna be home

41:58

and who would benefit from

42:01

Liz no longer being here. There's

42:04

not many people that would check all of

42:06

those boxes and so that's why I think

42:09

a lot of people end up getting

42:12

to the thought,

42:15

the opinion, that Sergio

42:17

is somehow involved. Where

42:19

do I stand on it? As far as I'm

42:21

concerned he's innocent until proven guilty. He's

42:24

never been charged with a crime and

42:27

although I can say definitively it

42:29

does not look good for him, there

42:31

is a world where as I

42:34

laid out a few minutes ago

42:36

that this murder of Elizabeth

42:39

is completely unrelated to anyone

42:41

in her life. As

42:44

Bob said earlier in this story it

42:46

sounds like and it sounds like it to

42:48

me too. She says something like good morning

42:50

but it's also, I don't know if my mind's

42:53

playing tricks on me but it's the way she says it.

42:55

It doesn't sound like a like oh

42:57

good morning like someone she knows. It sounds like

42:59

a good morning like hey I don't know you

43:01

but I'm being polite. That's at least what I

43:03

picked up from it. I can't, I don't

43:06

have the best hearing to begin with. I couldn't get anything else

43:08

out of it. So to me it

43:10

did suggest that she didn't know this person and

43:13

I've seen some things online where people

43:16

have said that they've heard, they can hear

43:18

you know who I am or

43:20

something like that. There's a lot of different theories

43:22

out there about what can be heard

43:24

throughout that recording. I couldn't pick up

43:26

on anything but if she

43:29

really didn't know this person it's

43:31

one of two situations right? It's

43:33

the hitman situation right? Professional hit

43:35

taken out on her or

43:38

it's this attacker who knew

43:40

who Liz was for one reason or another,

43:42

knew the dynamics of the household and

43:46

somehow knew that morning that Sergio

43:49

wasn't gonna be around and

43:51

that there was gonna be a garage sale and

43:53

maybe that person deduced. Well hey listen if there's

43:55

gonna be a garage sale more than likely at

43:57

least one of the two individuals that live there

43:59

will be handling it. And

44:02

by parking down the street, they were able to

44:04

do it. The only thing against that is

44:07

the idea that this would be someone who

44:09

was from that community and yet they had

44:11

to drive into the neighborhood. So they weren't

44:13

too close by unless they,

44:15

again, we're getting crazy here, but drove

44:18

down the road, grabbed the unmarked

44:21

vehicle, came back in to make it look like it

44:23

was someone who wasn't from the community when in fact

44:25

they were. And I'll also say

44:28

with serial killers, it's usually not like this,

44:30

but it's not completely impossible. We've had many other

44:33

cases where you have an individual who's sick

44:35

in the head and is going around and

44:37

shooting homeless people for no reason, no connection

44:39

to him whatsoever just for the thrill of

44:41

it. So could that be the

44:43

situation here? Absolutely. And that's, that's

44:46

kind of where I stand on this one. And to

44:48

really make it clear, I don't

44:50

feel good about Sergio, but

44:52

I don't necessarily think

44:55

with a high degree of certainty that it's him. I'm just

44:57

saying, looking at the facts,

45:00

it doesn't look good optically on the surface.

45:02

It doesn't look good. And I think even

45:04

he would admit it from an outside perspective,

45:06

looking in, it does not look great. And

45:11

I'll also say on that same note, if

45:14

someone came out tomorrow and there was an

45:16

arrest and it was a person who was

45:18

unrelated to Sergio or Liz and

45:20

there was no connection as far as a

45:22

hiring of this person in that we learned

45:25

that if this individual had killed multiple people

45:27

other than Liz, just for the sake of

45:29

doing it, I would not be

45:31

surprised in a lease. So I will say

45:34

to everyone out there, although things may not

45:36

look good for certain individuals, don't

45:38

assume just because it looks like it could be the

45:40

case that it is. As

45:42

I said before, there's been many times where

45:45

you'll check six or seven boxes, but once

45:47

you get to that eighth box, it

45:50

just doesn't fit. And when that happens in

45:52

an investigation, you have to

45:54

go back unfortunately and start from

45:56

square one, regardless of how

45:59

demoralizing that is. might be that welcome

46:01

to the world of investigations. So

46:03

that's where we are. We're covering this case and

46:05

we're doing it to get the word out there about

46:08

Liz's death and as Bob

46:10

said in a quote

46:12

earlier in this episode, they

46:14

don't only want to take this person off the street

46:16

for what they did to Liz, they want

46:18

to prevent them from doing it to anyone else

46:20

and that's where I come back to the whole

46:22

potential serial killer scenario. So

46:25

I completely agree with him. We don't

46:27

know how many deaths this

46:29

person is responsible for. So

46:31

we're going to cover it here. Hopefully there's someone

46:33

out there who maybe knows something. I

46:35

don't think anything from the video or audio is

46:38

going to be taken away

46:40

from this or analyzed in a way where they

46:42

point something out that a million

46:44

sets of eyes haven't already looked at and hasn't

46:46

been able to pull anything out of it yet,

46:48

but you never know. So as

46:50

always, if you know something or you know

46:52

someone who knows something, please come

46:54

forward with that information and just so you know

46:57

exactly what we're talking about here tonight

46:59

on Detective Perspective. I'm going to give you a

47:01

quick recap. So Liz Baraza was

47:03

shot four times in the driveway of

47:06

her Tom Ball, Texas home on January 25th, 2019.

47:08

The suspect was wearing a disguise

47:12

and driving a dark-colored 2013 to 2019 Nissan

47:14

Frontier Pro 4x model with

47:20

four doors and a crew cab. If

47:23

you have any information, please contact

47:25

Crimestoppers at 713-222-TIPS or the

47:27

Harris County Sheriff's Office

47:29

at 713-221-6000. And

47:32

just remember, there is a $50,000 reward. And lastly, I

47:34

want to send

47:40

my thoughts to Bob, Rosemary, and Sergio.

47:43

They deserve justice and hopefully with

47:45

the FBI and the Texas Rangers

47:47

now joining this investigation with

47:50

those added resources, maybe we'll get

47:52

over that hump and finally

47:54

answer who killed Elizabeth

47:56

Baraza. Her family deserves it.

47:58

She deserves it in that community. He deserves it.

48:01

So if you know anything, please reach out. And

48:03

last but not least, I want to talk about

48:05

Season of Justice. This will be the last episode

48:07

I covered this in. When we

48:09

started this, I asked you guys to help me raise

48:12

$1,000. We

48:14

surpassed that almost immediately, and we're very close

48:16

to $1,500 at this point. And

48:20

Season of Justice actually reached out to me, the

48:22

people over there, and said how surprised they were that

48:25

we were able to raise that money so quickly. And

48:27

that's a testament to you guys and your support for

48:29

me and this channel and what we're trying to do.

48:31

So I don't know the exact number we're at right now, but

48:34

I want to let you guys know that I want to be

48:36

part of this. I know the feeling you get by giving back

48:38

and helping. And we do it all the time on Criminal Coffee.

48:41

But it's one thing for me to sit up here and ask

48:43

you guys to donate money. It's another thing

48:45

to give money myself. So I will also be

48:47

donating. Wherever we are right now, it doesn't matter.

48:49

I will also be donating $500 to this cause

48:53

to make sure that we get over that hump of $1,500. So

48:56

again, I want to thank

48:58

everyone who's already donated. If you would like to

49:00

donate, it's right on the screen right here. You
