Ruth Ortiz
Ruth Ortiz is the mother of Ruth and José, two young children who were tragically murdered by their father, José Bretón, in 2011. Since the loss of her children, Ortiz has been an advocate for their memory and well-being, recently taking legal action to halt the publication of a book that details the crime and includes confessions from Bretón, arguing that it violates her family's privacy and causes them further emotional distress.
