The Disappearance of Calvin Willie Martinez: New Mexico Part 5

Mothers Day 2019 was the last time Calvin Willie Martinez’s family heard from him. After suffering an immense loss in 2014, Calvin had struggled with depression and alcohol dependence.  But he always stayed in contact with his loved ones—so when he called them from a truck stop in Albuquerque, NM, and promised he was heading home, they believed him. But Calvin never arrived.  Ever since, his sister Becky Martinez has been advocating for her brother. And as she discovered in late 2023, that persistence was vital: otherwise, his case would have remained erroneously closed.  Season 19 focuses on New Mexico and on the cases of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Persons/Missing/ Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Relatives (MMIP/MMIWR) whose loved ones are still fighting for resolution in their cases.    Darlene Gomez’s nonprofit: https://www.mmiwr.org/ Angels’ Voices Silenced No More: https://www.angelsvoicesnm.org/ Laurah’s book LAY THEM TO REST:  https://www.hachettebooks.com/titles/laurah-norton/lay-them-to-rest/9780306828805/ Sources at our website: https://www.thefalllinepodcast.com/sources Submit a case to The Fall Line: Submit a case here Join us on Patreon to fund therapy initiatives: https://www.patreon.com/thefalllinepodcast We have partnered with AdvertiseCast to handle our advertising/sponsorship requests.

Om Podcasten

True crime podcasting often forgets that, underneath the gore and sensationalism, there are real people, real families, and real justice waiting to be served.  The Fall Line® focuses on ethical, deep-dive coverage of the cold cases of missing people, unsolved homicides, and unidentified persons called John and Jane Does.  Intensive research and in-depth interviews with families, law enforcement, and experts tell the stories of victims and survivors you’ve never heard of. . . and why their cases were ignored in the first place.
