Chicago, Illinois. February 2nd, 2016. A cold Tuesday afternoon in the quiet neighborhood of Gage Park. For two full days, a modest red-brick bungalow sat silent. Inside, it held one of the most horrifying crime scenes in recent Chicago memory.

Six members of the Martinez family—three generations—were found brutally murdered inside their home. Noe and Rosa Martinez, their daughter Maria, their son Noe Jr., and Maria’s two young sons, Leonardo and Alexis. All beaten and stabbed. All left where they fell.

There was no forced entry. No robbery. Just a carefully executed massacre that unfolded in stages over hours. And the killer? He wasn’t a stranger.

This episode traces the full timeline of the Gage Park murders, from the eerie stillness of the crime scene to the unraveling of a case built on betrayal. We explore the psychology of the killer—Diego Uribe, the victims’ own nephew—and the lingering trauma held within the walls of 5706 South California Avenue.

It’s a story of trust broken, of silence that lasted too long, and a home that now carries a legacy of unbearable loss.
