The double life I had Miguel Cortes Miranda He has captured the attention of the Mexican media, because while he presented himself to society as a chemist with multiple recognitions, in reality he was a serial feminicide sadist.
His capture, derived from the murder of a 17-year-old girl in Mexico City, revealed evidence linking Cortés Miranda to at least 7 other crimes of people who in the past were linked to him, either at work or during his time as a student.

One of these texts, published in October 2015, could refer to a young woman identified as Frida Sofia Lima Riverawho disappeared in Mexico City in February of that year, and with whom the feminicide apparently had a romantic relationship
“It didn’t take me long to realize that your hands didn’t move. I discovered that your body was hard and I was scared when I noticed that you were cold. I touched your back and it was nothing more than your clothes. I touched your neck and it was nothing more than stone,” is part of what Cortés Miranda wrote on that occasion.
“A long time ago I saw you die, you died buried by small crystals. Your skin became stained with blood and your body changed color to a scarlet red. Covered in blood, I laid you on an altar and cried at your feet. I decided to stay with you, or rather, with your inert body; I would expect you to open your eyes at any moment, or I would simply die at your feet,” she added in his post.
“Now I understand that my true punishment is where I am. Clinging to an inert body, I want to kiss you, but when I do it it’s not the same, I can’t know if you want it or reject it, I don’t like that situation, I said I would die by your side, but this is different. I’m with you, but it’s not you I want. You there, I here… one more anniversary,” reads another part of the text.
