Salvadorian journalist Karla Lisseth Turcios was kidnapped and found dead on the side of a road in the Santa Rosa Guachipilin municipality some 130 kilometers away from capital San Salvador on April 14, 2018. Lisseth Turcios worked as a journalist for El Economista paper in the La Prensa Gráfica media group. Lisseth Turcios’s husband reported her missing on Saturday afternoon after he came home from the town with their son, and she was nowhere to be found. Several hours later her body was found from the side of a road, apparently strangled. Police suspects the murder could be a revenge against Lisseth Turcios’s father, but the investigation is still ongoing.
