Nori Amaya was born on September 9th, 1971, in El Salvador. Not much is known about her early life or even her parents’ names. We know that her mother would remain a constant in her life, but it’s unclear if her father was involved in her childhood in El Salvador. Two years later, her younger brother Carlos was also born. What is known about Nori, was the bizarre and disturbing circumstances of her discovery by her own brother in a Washington DC apartment. More than a decade later, still very little is known about Nori’s death and even less is known about the events that led to it, prompting the question; what happened to Nori Amaya, the Salsa Queen of Washington DC?

I believe it was a jealous woman.
I believe the spray guy didn't go into the bedroom, it is the norm
💜💜💜
I don't see the big deal w the exterminator… Pest control in my apartment complex is on the calendar that they deliver every month. If you're not home when Pest shows up, they get let in by the office manager, but I have been home for the majority of treatments. I live in a split level apartment and in the 10 months that I have lived here, they have never gone upstairs to treat the bedrooms or bathroom. A friend who has a bedroom downstairs in the same apartments said they don't go into the bedrooms unless specifically asked to do so.
Hey are you taking ozempic or wegovy because your results have been incredible the past two months!! ❤❤
Liz’s comment of Nori being colder than ice and snow is not an exaggeration. I remember having to touch my brother’s hand during his wake and thinking the same thing. Imagine touching cold clay that’s still moldable, that’s the best I could describe it. It’s a memory I wouldn’t wish on anyone.
Kendall is looking so good whatever she's doing she should keep at it.
I think the thing for me is the person is definitely on CCTV , surely they could go through every person and rule them out one by one ?
JANELL WAS WAY TO QUIET IN THIS EPISODE, SHE MAKES ME LAUGH SO MUCH WITH YOU GUYS!!😅😊
They could see who all came in after but who’s to say they weren’t already there waiting?
They always let us know that exterminators were coming when we lived in Florida, twice a month. They told us to be home between such and such a time so they can get in.
I came here to say i live in government apartments, so it could be different from normal apartments but we have monthly pest control and an inspection by the apartment complex. We get a notice a few days before that they will be coming. I’ve lived here for 4 years and only once have they gone into our bedroom (we have a camera we set up for when we aren’t there just in case) because they will come in even if we are not home. They usually do the bathrooms, kitchen and by our patio doors. I truly believe he didn’t go into her bedroom because i believe the same could happen at my apartments
Kendall looking 10 years younger and GLOWING wow 😍😍
😮😮😮 I lived at the Woodner for a year and a half holy ish. Very eerie vibes in that place
Yeah my mom and I found my dad when he passed in our kitchen. You never get the image out of your head 😢
Also there is a back door entrance as well to the woodner, its on the side of the building and the enteance from the parking garage they have
Just knowing she is from El Salvador hits hard because I know her parents must’ve worked hard for her to have a good life and then someone just take it away from her💔🙏🏽 RIP angel💕🙏🏽💕
For pest control, they don't go into bedrooms. The do bathrooms and kitchens plus doors
💜💜💜
Exterminators tend to only spray the bathroom and kitchen and sometimes not even the bathroom
Why is no one talking about the other tenants that lived in the building?!?!?!?!?!
