Within hours, his case transcended and assumed public status after it was known that he was maintaining a extramarital love affair, for more than ten years, with Felix Diamante Verdejo, which not long ago had been labeled as join the greatest figures in world boxing.

The last communication between Keishla and his mother, Keila Ortiz, took place on the morning of Wednesday April 28, where the young told her that the same day the boxer would go see her to confirm that I was pregnant with him, who had a double life. Because Félix Verdejo is married and has a daughter with his current wife, at the same time as he developed a secret relationship with Keishla, whom he had known from high school and since then, they had kept in touch. This was the last dialogue between mother and daughter.

On April 30, the young woman had to go to her workplace to a cosmetic veterinarian, but it was not like that. He left his home and never arrived at his destination, causing uncertainty among his colleagues who alerted his family. An hour and a half later, her mother, sister and father attempted to contact her without success. So they started to worry. Keishla’s mother, who does not live in Puerto Rico but resides in Florida, bought a ticket and left for “Island of Enchantment”. He arrived around 6:00 p.m. and as soon as he stepped on solid ground, She went straight to an abortion clinic in San Juan because, according to Verdejo, he threatened to abort the baby that had been in her womb for a month.

Keishla’s mother said: he didn’t want to be involved because he was a “public figure”. On the same day, the mother also visited her daughter’s apartment and noticed something that surprised her: her dogs were without food. Checking that his neighbors haven’t noticed anything striking, They went to the barracks located in Caimito, Quintana, to inform the authorities of their daughter’s disappearance. Immediately began the movement via social networks where the cooperation of citizens was requested to find the fate of the young woman, turning the case into a viral phenomenon. The police took stronger measures and issued a pink alert to give as soon as possible the location of the 27-year-old girl and lover of Félix Verdejo.

Likewise, the parents and sister of the young they offered statements to New holding Verdejo responsible for Keishla’s disappearance. What do I think? He (Verdejo) cited her where he was training. Let him speak and say, because he has a daughter and a mother, that he thinks of my pain ”, the young woman’s mother mentioned in a shocking message to the boxer. After that, the authorities found the young woman’s vehicle on land in the Canóvanas region. In the car, the young woman’s belongings were found, but nothing more relevant that contributes to the cause.

After being summoned by the police, Verdejo arrived at the San Juan Criminal Investigation Center and after nearly 30 minutes in the room with the authorities, he made no statement. “We can’t tell you anything because we don’t have any information. Félix Verdejo didn’t say anything to the police ”, said the director of the police press office, Sergeant Axel Valencia.

On May 1, two days after the announcement of the disappearance, in the afternoon, they found the lifeless body of a woman in Laguna San José. Gradually, the investigation began to revolve around Félix Verdejo, who continued to be the target of criticism and agreements on social networks. For all this, the promoter company Top Rank parted ways with the Puerto Rican boxer and expressed solidarity with the victim’s family. “There are no plans for him,” said Gardy López, a spokesperson for the company in Puerto Rico on Saturday. “(Bob) Arum and the others are aware of the situation, but there was no plan for Felix. Beyond that, Top Rank has no other comments, ”he added.

That same Saturday, despite the discovery of the lifeless body of a woman, they continued the search for the young woman. Afternoon, around 6 p.m. the remains found in the lake were transferred to the Rapid Action Unit Forces (FURA) located in Piñones. Keishla’s family went there to recognize the body. A few hours later, what was dreaded was confirmed: it was indeed that of the 27-year-old. Automatically, incalculable media pressure began to be directed at Félix Verdejo, who received all kinds of grievances because of Instagram.

In the wee hours of Sunday police seized Félix Verdejo’s vehicle. The reason? After analyzing a series of videos, did it coincide that The boxer’s Dodge Durango bore a strong resemblance to the one they were able to capture in the footage of the Teodoro Moscoso Bridge. All the roads were directed to one person. Shortly after, the police contacted a protected witness, who allegedly participated in the heinous act. In this way, the prosecution hypothesized that Félix Verdejo was not acting alone, but had a cooperator. The investigation revolved around appeals from Verdejo and the murdered young woman and anything that may be related to the two.

In the afternoon, a large group of protesters gathered on the Teodoro Moscoso Bridge to demand justice for the recent deaths with clear overtones of gender-based violence. At the same time, the FBI took action and took the lead in the investigation. With a suspect in front of him, the case was about to be resolved. However, the accused has always remained anonymous. Until Sunday evening, boxer Félix Verdejo decided to surrender to the authorities. According to the complaint filed with the federal court, the FBI accuses him of car hijacking (vehicle theft) resulting in the death of a person and kidnapping. It also included a complaint for the intentional murder of an unborn child..

The hypothesis of the Federal Prosecutor’s Office

According to the federal report, according to what was said by the person who cooperated with the police authorities, On April 27, Verdejo “contacted the witness and asked for his help in terminating the victim’s pregnancy, who told Verdejo that she was pregnant with her child based on the test result ”. Then, on April 29, Verdejo contacted the victim and “arranged” his meeting near his residence. Verdejo and the witness drove to the meeting in the black Dodge Durango SUV, the federal complaint adds. The victim arrived at the meeting in his vehicle, which was a gray Kia Forte, and got into Verdejo’s vehicle.

(the Llorens Torres residence) ”, states the affidavit. “Verdejo and the witness then tied the victim by the arms and feet with a cable”, detailed, to which he added: “A block was tied to the victim.” He also indicates that Verdejo and the witness drove the two vehicles towards the Teodoro Moscoso Bridge. The, “The victim was removed from the vehicle and thrown over the edge of the bridge into the water. Verdejo shot the victim with a pistol from the bridge ”.

The actions of the authorities were from the start extremely swift and clever. Today, Two guns were seized from the boxer, whose corresponding license he had to confirm whether one of them had been used to shoot the victim. The shock generated by the affair reached such a point that the artist Bad Bunny, who in his album X100PRE had a song where the boxer appeared, erased it from the networks out of respect for the relatives of the young woman.

Felix verdejo (27-2, 17 KOs) represented Puerto Rico at the 2012 Olympics, the same year he moved to professionalism in the lightweight division. His career was temporarily affected after suffering a motorcycle accident in 2016 which sent him to hospital.
