María Concepción Ladino

[1] She earned people's trust as she performed sorcery in order to offer protection, improve their quality of life, and increase the profits of their businesses.

Ladino then declared herself mentally ill, but despite this, she was convicted and sentenced to 40 years imprisonment at El Buen Pastor Prison in Bogotá.

Commonly known as "La Hermana María" or "Doña Conchita", she lived in Fontibón, in an apartment leased by Carlos Montaña, owner of the residence.

However, it didn't work out, so she asked Nebardo Adalberto Guevara Torres, from Río Cáqueza, to do something for her in order to "change the physical and thus protect it from their enemies".

[3] Eventually, Torres disappeared, which is why his wife filed a complaint with the authorities against Concepción Ladino, who was detained for fraud, but released for lack of evidence.

[6] As part of a strategy to evade the police, Ladino moved back to Bogotá, this time to a ranch where she met a woman with some saved money.
