“Records disappeared.”
One of her attorneys stepped forward.
“We discovered that several infants were illegally transferred through a child-trafficking network operating between hospitals and private adoption agencies.”
A collective gasp moved through the courtroom.
The attorney opened a thick binder.
“The organization falsified birth certificates and destroyed original records.”
He placed several documents before the judge.
“We have DNA evidence.”
Judge Rivas stared at the papers.
His face lost all color.
The attorney continued.
“The results show a 99.99 percent probability that Mariana Torres is the biological daughter of Catalina Aranda.”
The room erupted.
Reporters rushed toward the doors.
Court staff whispered.
Even the bailiff looked stunned.
