As they approached the victim, they found a 33-year-old woman in a panic. She had left her home in the Arborizadora Alta area in the Los Andes neighborhood to take her niece to school. She felt someone following her on her way back, then she quickened her pace as her heart beat fast.
The next thing was the worst feeling of his life. A man 1.70 meters pulls him from behind and jumps on him. She watches him with fear. He had gloves and a mask. Then he strangles her in the middle of the bushes with his huge hands. After a while, the researchers noticed that: That was one of his fetishes: leaving his victims panting while infuriating. The rapist was leaving footprints.
He tried to escape several times, but the attacker outnumbered him and took off his clothes, pointing a gun at him. “I heard the sound of the motorcycle and I started screaming. That man got scared and I tried to get dressed. He told me he was going to run away, that I had to follow him or he would kill me. That’s what I did. But on the other side.” . All his life, running to the nearest Emergency Center (CAI), all he heard was a gunshot in the air.
When the police arrived on the scene, they found a blue mattress in the bushes.. The prosecutor, who took on the case, said to a relentless woman standing in front of him, “Sampling has been ordered. The white code has already been activated. Chemical tests had to be done while the young woman’s health was checked.” a team to catch up.

Despite the emotional shock she experienced, she constantly cooperated with the authorities, who carried out the emergency procedures for the work of the forensic police, whose task was to immediately secure and collect all evidence that was at risk of being altered or lost. While this process was going on, the victim was assisted at a clinic, she. Despite the shock, he identified his attacker. He was a tall, fat black man with big lips. He remembered his eyes. I couldn’t forget that face.
After a while, investigators, in neighborhood and verification missions and with oral portraiture in their hands, determined that there were several settlements of African descent very close to the crime scene, which made the search difficult. Nor were there many security cameras that caught the attack.
They soon found an important clue. There were three records of female robbery at a CAI in the area. The victims described a man with features very similar to the person they were looking for. “They told us to go the next day because there was a police officer who knew that a young woman had been attacked and killed,” said investigators on the incident.

On the morning of September 25, 2021, Isabela Moreno, only 20 years old and a nurse by profession, set out for her job at around 6:40 am. Being a little late, she used an alternative shortcut to use the transport faster.
On the way a man approached him. Her mother, Sandra Moreno, said, “The man was constantly following her behind the bushes until she took her to the car. She did everything she wanted to my daughter. In the afternoon we learned that she had never come to work.” victim.
He says that when night fell, rumors started that something serious had happened. “We searched the place where they said everything happened and we found some of his belongings. We learned that this man killed my daughter. It was the hardest thing in my life.”
Investigators determined that the young woman brutally murdered him after hanging him with the lunch box he was carrying with his lunch. “Then a video of the attack came to light. The man had the same physical features we were looking for: tall, athletic, young, African descent.” It was clear how he chose his victims.
The presence and interrogation of the researchers attracted whistleblowers who began to provide important data. “They said the man we’re looking for was a rapist belonging to FARC opponents and went to Chocó,” said one investigator.
As the ends were tied, a new victim emerged. It was about a woman who was abused by a man with the same characteristics. “He was almost tracing the way he was working. It was very likely that it was the same attacker at the time,” the prosecutor said. There was already a name: Brian Stiven Romana Córdoba. In Bogotá, the victims had already done topographic reconnaissance.

It was an unprecedented catch. Investigators had to go to Quibdó in the Chocó department, where Brian was caught for illegally carrying a gun and placed under house arrest.. “We never understood why the warrants judge made this decision even though it was Armed Forces specific.”
When they reached the place where he lived, they realized that he was not there. “It was very bad for him and very good for us. It can happen because we already have a warrant for his arrest,” the prosecutor said. Violating the security measure allowed agents to capture him on November 29 and transfer him to Bogota to respond to all his attacks.
The first thing to do was run biological tests to see if it matched those found on the victims and the crime scene. “It was very important to be able to do the DNA comparison,” the prosecutor said.
New things were being learned about this 18-year-old man who was born on December 31, 2002. Before reaching the age of majority, he had committed two more violent sexual acts and a murder.. He studied until the sixth grade of high school and worked various jobs while working to earn a living.
All biological tests came back positive, thanks to the computer system created by the FBI for storing genetic profiles, or the Genetic Profile Bank (Codis). This allows searching through files to support forensic investigations.
He was the man they were looking for. Also, the way he worked was exactly the same as he approached all his victims. “If this man escalated his assaults and rapes to murders at that age, he’s a little short on being a serial killer,” the prosecutor said.
For violent sexual access crime, Brian Stiven Romana Córdoba sentenced to 124 months in District jail, but the full weight of the femicide law is still pending.
It was rigorous research work with many challenges and pitfalls along the way. “Victims have helped us a lot, but all available technology has also been brought to the case.”
Now all that remains is for this man to pay for each of his crimes because there are fears of further attacks. “I want to call on the judicial authorities to find justice for my daughter’s murder. I want this man to pay for his crime. I don’t want this case to happen again and other mothers to go. It’s because of the pain. It’s huge. I want an exemplary conviction,” said Sandra Moreno.
