Abstract
In this chapter, I examine the case of Doris Ivania Jiménez, a woman who was raped and murdered on November 21, 2006, in San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua. The men involved in the crime are Eric Stanley Volz, Julio Martín Chamorro López, alias Rosita, Armando Agustín Llanes Navarro, and Nelson Antonio López Danglas. Volz and Chamorro were found guilty of committing the crime; Llanes and Danglas were exonerated. In subsequent investigations and mediations, the intervention of a North American law firm and of a former member of the CIA under investigation by the Italian police, Volz was absolved. He left the country by way of a specially charted helicopter after being in prison for some time.

El Nuevo Diario reported it was Volz who granted his interviews to The New York Times, The Today Show, Anderson Cooper de CNN, and Telemundo and Univisión. In addition to the publication of his case, Volz met with members of Congress and of the State Department. He said little was known about his story hence he decided to write a book about it.
