Ciara's Family

When a police officer is found dead in her home with a bullet between her eyes, who investigates? Both Ciara Estrada and her boyfriend were San Diego police officers. They went with friends to a New Year’s Eve party. Pictures from that night show the smiling couple. The next day, Ciara was dead … discovered on her bathroom floor with her gun in her lap. Her own department investigated the death an... more

Eight years into the family’s fight for transparency and accountability, a new law went into effect. It might have changed everything for Ciara’s case.

Even though both Ciara and her boyfriend were San Diego Police officers, the department didn’t call an outside agency to investigate her death. And its own investigators almost immediately called it a suicide. Her family thinks they didn’t dig deep e... more

  • Well told story of Ciara

    Really enjoyed this well told story about Ciara, truly sad that it wasn’t investigated thoroughly. You really feel the loss and sadness from her family.

  • Pretty good

    Yeah, unfortunately, it does seem like she probably did kill herself and that the parents are in denial. I think that’s just what makes it interesting is that people are gonna believe what they wanna believe no matter.

  • A sober look at a family’s grief

    This was very thoughtfully and respectfully done. There were a lot of details missing, but to me that gave it more of a documentary feel than a typical true crime pod. I know the stats of DV in the police world, and it sounds like she was definitely in a toxic relationship, but I do think she committed suicide. I fully understand the family’s urgency and NEED to find any other reason for her death. It was a really touching and sad look at a family’s grief and pain of losing someone.

  • Great Job

    Really well done. Hard to say if she did it or not. Seems like she was gonna leave him but that night seemed rough on her.

    I feel like she could’ve done it but in front of the guy and he had the woman cop on duty that night help cover it up.

  • Did I miss an episode?

    Sorry, but I feel like this podcast was missing so many details. Interviews with other friends.. what was Eric’s behavior after the death? Was he at the funeral? There was so much more that could be covered to understand a little bit more about his reaction and behavior in the Aftermath. I am thankful that this was not biased reporting as so many are, but I do feel this was missing a whole heck of a lot.
