Key Details and Points Discussed
The Incident in Guatemala: Nixon Giovanni Perez Paz and his wife, Glendy Marisol Gonzalez de la Cruz, were found shot to death in a sugarcane field in Guatemala [00:44]. Their bodies showed signs of physical trauma, and they were found gagged with t
heir hands and feet bound [00:51].
The Surviving Child: Their 14-month-old daughter, Giovani, was found alive next to her deceased mother showing signs of dehydration, and she was subsequently taken to a medical center for recovery [01:00].
Backgroun
d in the United States: Prior to their deportation, the family lived in Overland, Missouri [01:48]. Nixon worked as a roofer, and the host notes his contributions as a skilled laborer [01:55].
Deportation Circumstances:
Nixon was deported in April 20
25 following a traffic stop [02:03]. ICE claimed he had two DWIs, though a local NPR affiliate was unable to find matching court records [02:29].
