The witness thought that “she would be able to identify [her] husband by his clothes and because he [had taken] his wallet with his identity documents.” When the facts took place, the witness had been married to José del Carmen Álvarez Blanco for 20 years. They made a living from agriculture and raising livestock in La Octavia, “on a small eight-hectare plot; they had animals and crops […].” Following the facts, the witness moved away, because “it was very difficult to live with the memories.” They had to sell their farm in the parish of Isaías to members of the paramilitary group because they “told [her] that [she] should not return, since if the guerrilla did not kill [her], they would kill [her], as one of [her] sons was trying to find out what happened to those who disappeared.” Her children were deeply affected by the disappearance of her husband; they “became disorderly; they did whatever they wanted; they drank; they did not abide by the education that [she and her husband] had given them. This affected [her] greatly; the family broke up.” The witness thought that she would die, because “the sky fell in on [her].” Also, her children, Daniel, Emilse and Richard, were unable to go to school because they did not have enough money. The witness wants “justice to be done; those guilty to be identified and convicted; […] the remains of [her husband] and her brother Cristóbal to be found.

[He] was told that [his] father told the soldiers that a loved one is never forgotten and that they had taken away his sons as if they had been criminals […].” Following the facts, the witness’s father “scarcely greeted people; he did not talk to people, even [the witness]” Then he was told that his father “had just severed his jugular vein with a machete.” The witness’s mother went to Apartadó and never returned to the farm. Following the event, his family disintegrated; his sister “went mad. She cried and said that she saw their brothers, and she ran away from people because she was afraid of them; she said that they were going to kill her.” Before the facts, the witness was someone who “was happy with all his siblings, his family and his friends; but now [he] cannot forget […] this empty space in his life”.
