The police were notified immediately.

When Morales arrived, he asked Sofía to explain that last drawing. The little girl, hugging her stuffed animal, answered in a low voice:
” I heard footsteps… they were heavy… I thought it was Dad, but he was already in his room…
” “Did you see that person?
” ” Only their shadow… they were on the stairs… I was scared…”
“Before your parents fell asleep?
” ” Yes… I think so…”

That changed everything. If the figure had been in the house before the parents went to bed, it meant the intruder had entered without forcing any doors. Either it knew the house very well, or someone had let it in.

Police examined the father’s phone, found on the nightstand. Among the deleted messages, they recovered a conversation with a contact saved simply as “R.”:
“The deadline is tomorrow. I don’t want any excuses.”
“If there’s no payment, there will be consequences.”
