播音员:本集讲述了雷娜·莫拉莱斯·罗哈斯于2022年11月26日在马萨诸塞州失踪的案件。雷娜最后一次被人看到是在东波士顿,之后在萨默维尔下车。尽管她很快就被报失踪,但公众直到近两个月后才得知此事。如果没有像露西·皮内达这样的倡导者介入,雷娜的家人怀疑她的故事是否会见诸报端。现在,四个月过去了,雷娜仍然没有回家,信息也很匮乏。她的孩子和在萨尔瓦多的姐姐每天都期盼着她的任何消息,同时也在为这个案件争取关注,这个案件的关注度来得太晚了。 露西·帕内塔:作为Latinos Unidos en Massachusetts的执行主任,我致力于帮助拉丁美洲社区。当我知道雷娜失踪的消息后,我联系了她的家人和当地官员,试图了解更多信息。但没有人听说过她的名字,她的名字甚至没有被添加到全国失踪和身份不明人员系统数据库中。因此,我号召LUMA社区采取行动,在社交媒体上发布视频,并亲自寻找雷娜。我们还写信给波士顿警方,批评他们对雷娜失踪案的处理不力。 凯莉·洛:本集节目采访了露西·皮内达,深入探讨了雷娜·莫拉莱斯·罗哈斯失踪案,以及该案件中警方回应迟缓和种族歧视的质疑。我们分析了警方在处理此案时与其他失踪女性案件相比的差异,以及由此引发的关于警方处理失踪人口案件中是否存在系统性问题的讨论。 露西·帕内塔:我感到悲伤,因为我是一个女人,一个母亲,我也有孩子。作为一个活动家,作为一个女人,我们有一群女性,赋权女性,我们每天都在教育她们,我们需要信任我们的权威,如果我们有任何紧急情况,我们需要拨打911。如果我们看到这样的案件,我们怎么能信任他们?他们怎么能建立信任?我们像我一样逃离萨尔瓦多的这些妇女,我们逃离不同的拉丁美洲国家,因为我们来自一个危险的国家。我们不相信,我们不信任警察,我们不信任军队,因为妇女失踪了,你永远不知道她们发生了什么。所以现在看起来我感觉像是在20世纪80年代。我觉得我又回到了20世纪80年代的萨尔瓦多,妇女失踪了,没有人关心发生了什么。

Shownotes Transcript

MASSACHUSETTS, 2022: On November 26, 2022, 41-year old Reina Morales Rojas got into a car in East Boston, MA and some time later was dropped off in nearby Somerville. That’s the last time anyone had seen or heard from the mother of two.

Though she was reported missing soon after, the public didn’t hear anything about Reina’s disappearance for almost two months, and if advocates like Lucy Pineda of Latinos Unidos en Massachusetts hadn’t stepped in to help bring attention to her case, Reina’s family wonders if her story would’ve ever made the news.

Now four months later, Reina still isn’t home and information is scarce. Her children and sister in El Salvador who once spoke to her every single day await any sign that she is okay, all while fighting for attention on her case that took far too long to receive.

  • Anyone with information regarding her whereabouts is advised to contact 911 or A-7 Detectives at (617) 343-4324. If you would prefer to share information anonymously you can do so by calling the CrimeStoppers Tip Line at 1-800-(494)-TIPS or by texting the word 'TIP' to CRIME (27463).
