In March 2015, two fishermen off South Padre Island thought they’d found a pig floating in the Laguna Madre.
What they pulled from the water instead would expose one of the most haunting crimes in Rio Grande Valley history.
The body belonged to Jose Francisco “Franky” Palacios Paz, a mechanic from Edinburg whose death revealed a web of cartel ties, family secrets, and a U.S. Border Patrol agent accused of covering a murder from within.
As investigators dug deeper, the Valley confronted a painful truth: corruption doesn’t always cross the border—it sometimes wears a badge.
Echoes of 956 recounts the investigation, the trial, and the legacy of the case that stained both sea and oath.
A CoColbie Productions Original.
The water may go still, but the Valley remembers.
