In this episode of Crime Watch Daily Updates: Eighteen-year-old Zoe Campos lived in Lubbock, Texas, and had a lot going for her. But all of that was taken away when she went missing November 17, 2013.
Zoe was last seen with a man named Carlos Rodriguez, and her whereabouts remained unknown for five years until Carlos came forward with a startling admission. In November 2018, Carlos revealed that he killed Zoe and buried her body in his backyard.
In a confession letter sent to media outlets in 2019, Carlos said he and Zoe smoked synthetic marijuana, and it made him believe Zoe became a demon. He strangled her to death, then buried her in the yard.
In August 2022, Carlos pleaded guilty to murder, and he was sentenced to life in prison. He will be eligible for parole after 30 years.
Let’s look back at Zoe Campos’ story and her family’s search for answers years after her disappearance.
