Soacha

Galán was a long-standing nemesis of Escobar's, who had decided to run for the presidency in 1990.

By August 1989, he was well ahead in the national polls, but then on the 18th of that month, he was gunned down in Soacha, in the outskirts of Bogota.

And there is no doubt that Escobar had ordered his assassination.

Trujillo had stepped into the void created by Galán's assassination.

Jaime witnessed or carried out around 40 killings, and across the country, soldiers murdered thousands more.

But in Soacha, a poor town on the outskirts of the nation's capital, Bogota, a group of women unexpectedly fought back.

My name is Blanca Novia Monroy.

I am the mother of Julian Oviedo Monroy, a young man who disappeared on March 2nd, 2008, and was killed on March 3rd.

I thought it was just my son, only him.

But as time went on, more and more started to come out about the disappearance of other boys.

That's when 19 families from Soacha began to come together

togetherAnd that's when I realized it wasn't just my son.
