The Whistleblower Who Had 48 Hours to Live: True Crime Case

Eliud Montoya's murder is one of the fastest whistleblower retaliation true crime cases ever documented. He filed a federal complaint on Thursday exposing his supervisor's $3.5 million labor trafficking scheme—and was shot six times by Saturday afternoon.

Built from 3,090 pages of federal court records including trial transcripts, the getaway driver's 141-page confession, and the civil verdict that held Wolf Tree's parent company 90% responsible for his death, this episode reveals how a decade-long fraud operation silenced the one man who couldn't be controlled.

Three men received federal sentences totaling over 100 years. Court documents are sent exclusively to subscribers when episodes drop — subscribe now at https://truecrimeunheard.com/subscribe so you don't miss future case files.
