85. Reward offered in the case. Within the criminal investigation, and with the agreement of the Minister of the Interior, a reward of one hundred thousand quetzals (Q.100,000.00) was offered to anyone providing information leading to the identification and capture of those responsible for the death of Claudina Isabel Velásquez Paiz; this was published in the Guatemalan media on January 16, 2008.125 Also, on March 6, 2012, an adviser to the office of the Ministry of the Interior sent the prosecutor 500 posters offering a reward for information in this case.126 On October 28 and November 8, 2011, someone contacted the Public Prosecution Service stating that he had information on the case and was interested in the reward.127 This individual made a statement before the assistant prosecutor on April 20, 2012, in which he explained that another person was going to provide the information and, also, that the information possessed by the latter was not direct, because yet another person had provided it to him, so that “it was not reliable and more like a rumor.”128 86. Report to the 110 emergency number. Regarding the report received by the PNC via the 110 telephone number referring to a possible sexual assault, the evidence in this case includes a copy of the PNC form identified as “Confidential information and calls for help to the 110 system,” which was found in the “closed files” of the CECOM (110 system) and sent by the coordinator of the PNC 110 Division to the Ministry of the Interior’s investigator on September 13, 2007. The form merely indicates that at 2.12 a.m. on August 13, 2005, a “neighbor” reported a possible sexual assault on 7th street “A” 11-32, Zone 11, Colonia Roosevelt, to the PNC 110 emergency number.129 The file reveals that, on June 26, 2008, the assistant prosecutor asked PNC Precinct 14 to forward information about the incident reported in this telephone call.130 In response, on July 18, 2008, the PNC Sub-General Directorate of Public Security advised that: (a) the system for recording emergency calls started in February 2006; (b) since there was no file of any kind, there was no information on the identity of the person in charge or the agents assigned to surveillance and patrols on August 13, 2005, and (c) the logbook for August 12 and 13, 2005, did not record any information on a possible sexual assault on 7th Street “A”, in front of the building numbered 11-32 in Colonia Roosevelt, Zone 11.131 87. Expert analysis of the ballistic trajectory. On July 23, 2008, the assistant prosecutor asked the PNC Criminalistics Bureau to perform an expert analysis based on the photographic album of the crime scene, the video on the processing of the crime scene, the autopsy report and its corresponding expansion, and the sketch of the scene of the crime, in order to establish: (1) the ballistic trajectory based on the elements provided; (2) the position of the victim when she received the bullet’s impact; (3) the position of the perpetrator when he shot her; (4) the distance between the barrel of the gun and the target; (5) the perpetrator’s height; (6) whether the perpetrator was right-handed or left-handed, and (7) any other information that could be obtained and that was considered useful for clarification of the facts. 132 In response, the ballistics expert assigned to the task advised that it was not possible to calculate the ballistic trajectory on the basis of the elements provided, because this had to be calculated at the site where the incident took place.133 Subsequently, on May 19, 2009, the assistant prosecutor Cf.
