Darkness

Darkness's final episode, 'Win or Lose,' follows Talisa Trevino's reporting on Irene Garza, John Fite, and the 57-year gap between the murder and the 2017 trial.

["Darkness's \"When Pigs Fly\" centers on Rudy Jaramillo's 2002 effort to reopen the Irene Garza case using Father Joseph O'Brien and Dale Tatchney as witnesses.", "The episode also goes back to July 24, 1974, when Federico \"Fred\" Gomez Carrasco's siege at Huntsville prison put Father O'Brien in the middle of a 16-hostage standoff.", "Victor Rodriguez says O'Brien eventually admitted, \"I've already lied,\" then described telling John Fite to reveal everything and placing Irene Garza in a bathtub at the pastoral house.", "The case then runs into Hidalgo County DA Rene Guerra, who dismissed the effort, said it would be solved \"when pigs fly,\" and helped push the matter to a no bill."]

["Darkness episode 4, \"A Race Against Time,\" follows the reopening of the Irene Garza murder case in South Texas.", "Host and narrator Talisa Trevino visits retired Texas Ranger Rudy Jaramillo, who led the cold-case work on Irene Garza.", "Rudy says the Texas Rangers' Unsolved Crimes Investigation Team began in early 2001, and that Irene's case felt urgent because witnesses were aging, dying, or developing dementia.", "The episode also includes survivor Zach Zepeda, who says Father O'Sullivan abused him as a sixth-grade altar boy in San Antonio and that he later joined SNAP in 2019."]

John Fite threads together Irene Garza's 1960 disappearance, Maria America Guerra's assault at Sacred Heart in Edinburgh, and Beatriz Garcia's later accusation in McAllen.

["Irene Garza, a 26-year-old McAllen woman, disappears after Holy Saturday confession at Sacred Heart Catholic Church in 1960.", "Talisa Trevi\u00f1o traces the case with Rudy Jaramillo and Michael Garza, who describe John Fite, a 27-year-old visiting priest from Chicago, as the last known person to see Irene.", "The episode follows the purse left on a pew, the call from Josefina and Nicolas Garza to the rectory at 4 or 5 a.m., and the search that led police to find Irene's body in the Second Street Canal five days later.", "Autopsy details, church record gaps, and the Rio Grande Valley's Catholic culture explain why the case stayed cold for decades."]
