I am an Expat living in South America, anyone from a developed country would be shocked at the Police and legal systems. You would have no idea unless you’ve had experience as a victim of violent crime. The corruption, lack of funding, lack of training and lack of motivation for crimes against foreigner's or locals for that matter is really something to ponder if you choose to live here.
I don't live there but did for a while have a property in Panama and I had zero expectations of any of that which is the best way to deal with it. People assume it will be like where they come from but they are almost always very wrong. Even here in a part of the Uk with loads of immigration the only people who have offered my bribes have come from countries where it is common.
Someone who moves to a country like Paraguay and deals with Stradivari should have all security measures in his home, cameras, alarms and personnel. When something happens there you do not have anybody to help you.
So terribly tragic when killers have no mercy for the children. Killers have zero moral compass. It's like they just don't feel anything except rage. I will never understand. This violin maker hurt no one, but he had something valuable that some pathetic monster wanted.
Memory updated Trust no one, not even your lawyer. I’ve experienced betrayal, and while it was hard to accept at first, I’ve realized that people can stoop very low when it comes to money. A gardener regularly comes to my properties to cut branches-one of the best I’ve hired so far-but he constantly pressures me to pay him more. I started feeling uneasy and looking for other helpers, but finding a suitable replacement was difficult. I still employ him, but my instinct tells me I’m playing with fire.
Beautiful camera work and sensitive interviewing. A tragic story. The brutality of the murders. What was touched on here must surely be just the surface.
I love that when confronted with the crime-the lawyer suddenly spoke about himself in third person. To not only remove his own guilt but to distance himself from the crime. I didn’t do it.. the devils lawyer did it.. come on 😅
It was cruel to shoot the child in a way of slow death. They said they tortured them. It's unthinkable that a torture scene, could not provide enough evidence to solve these crimes. There is so much here to solve these crimes, it represents avoidance to solve the crimes.
How very sad and the loss of a brilliant man and his young daughter. All for some beautiful historic and famous violins . Probably a bad idea to move to a remote place in the country in a south American country
The man who organised the funeral so quickly knows who did this. Why do the burial in Paraguay so quickly instead of repatriating the bodies to his sister for a burial in Germany? If he had authentic Stradivarius violins, this means people were definitely out to get him. Very sad brutal end for both of them.
Very well done doc. Shows respect for all concerned. The irony is that he leaves disenchanted with Germany and goes to this very questionable country....corrupt. He should have stayed in Germany.
And that he was disheartened by all the immigrants coming into his country... so he became one himself in another country. Looking for a life better suited to him... okay for him but not for others. 🙄
People romanticise foreign countries when they look at them from the outside. And as explained by that dodgy Paraguayan character, the German inhabitants are insular and separate from the rest of the country, so they never really got to know the country at all. Now a group of them have been introduced to the judicial system.....
Yes, although there have been groups of Germans who have done very well in South America - it does not always go badly. However the irony is that Germany (and herein the UK) are safe countries even with our new entrants some of whom sadly engage in appalling crimes.
@@sarahnye3069They liked that particular aspect of Paraguay…as Yves said, Bernard liked that Paraguay was “beautifully corrupt,” so they “had the freedom to do whatever they wanted.” In the end they paid a heavy price.
They forged his will. Your bank deposits can still be stolen legally. The crux of the story is "don't be greedy" because it can get you murdered or turn you into a murderer.
If you go to Paraguay, where people are murdered for 200,000 guaranies (in front of the bank's ATM), then you don't have to make a fuss about how many supposedly very valuable violins etc. you have at home, and above all you don't have to get involved with a lawyer who has been disbarred and who is already known and notorious among all Germans as a client traitor.
law didn't go against him.. it was all working really well until a greedy lawyer and his mate wanted a slice of the pie.. they almost got away with it as well.
In a way his isolation was his undoing and his desire to be in a country without many laws enforced led to his problems. Better to endure state interference you do not like in Germany than seek these supposed nirvanas. It is not for no reason that the UK in 2024 has its highest level of immigration ever - we (and Germany) respect the rule of law.
Weird that police are allowed to do a raid and come into someone’s home to search the premises but then not be allowed to go in a single room that just seems really weird. It’s a raid you’re legally allowed to go into their home which is private property but not allowed to go into this room?
27:30 It sounds as if it was a locked room, and he refused to open it, at first. Eventually he opened the armory, and they seized all of his guns. They also took the violins, which the family said he was holding for them. They show a picture of a metal door, but it is probably stock footage, not his actual door. The police probably would have destroyed the door to get in the room, if he had not finally opened it.
The sad thing is the sister wanted the valuables kept safe in there and by doing what he could to protect the sister in Germany this ended up being used against him although thankfully he was removed from suspicion later. The police steal valuable things in many countries like this - nothing much is safe from them
Very sad story, but how intelligent man, smart, can leave Germany and take her daughter to unsecured country, just because you’re disappointed with your country? He did research Paraguay before? Prayers for his sister and family, friends.
@@dimakhidarkovskiy2175 My point is that even if I did have the money and the desire to buy old violins, (I don't) I would deal with less dodgy looking characters. Moving to Paraguay is a massive red flag.
For an investigative journalist piece, I was surprised that the question as to WHY they exchanged blueprints of Bernard's house was never asked. What a bizarre question to omit from this inquiry.

Very interesting story, so sad Loreena was killed; but I agree she could ID the murderers. Where was Loreena's mother? So Bernard von Bredow was tortured into signing a WILL/TESTAMENT all his possessions to Lawyer Jimmy (it does not make sense) and because he did not give the killers the paperwork of authenticity of the Stradivarius Violins? So who burned Yves Steinmetz home? Bernard made a huge mistake moving to Paraguay with his young daughter and also letting people know the "treasures" he possessed. If the four missing Stradivarius Violins are out there, they will be found. Or maybe they are now ashes. Pity. Humans are not man's best friend. Bernard von Bredow was a genius in his own right. My condolences to Anita Bredow, the pain in her heart shows. Condolences to his friends, what a loss. RIP Mr Von Bredow and Loreena ✝
Yves might have burnt it for insurance and to pretend the violins were in there and burnt when they were not in it at the time. The sister seems very wise - her brother would indeed want her to move on. I hope she can even sell the house and anything recovered as there is no point in keeping anything out there to be stolen or taken.
Yes, particularly the one who lost everything as they were his true friends. Even just hearing those two and comparing them to Yves the cellist and the disabled lawyer you can see the difference and I am not jumping to conclusions based on looks but on other things.
OK before I even got towards the end of the video when I saw and heard the “lawyer” Jimmy…. Doubt that’s his real name. I immediately thought that he looked super shady. Not being racist. There was just something about him that gave me that vibe and obviously not alone in that Opinion💯
Mir tut es unendlich leid, für ein solch begabtes Kind. Der Mörder ist ein Psychopath, ein Kind zu ermorden. Es wirkt irgendwie sehr persönlich. Allein nur für das arme Mädchen wünsche ich mir das die Beweise klarer werden und jene Mörder wirklich bestraft. P.s hätte gerne einen netten Psychologen der sich das Verhalten von Yves bei Fragen nach dem Tod mal etwas genauer ansieht.
Niemand hat nach dem Tod gefragt, das war nicht das Thema. Yves hat seine medizinische Doktorarbeit in der Rechtsmedizin Hamburg gemacht, er kann Ihnen sicherlich mehr über den Tod erzählen, als Sie sich vorstellen können. Ärzte haben ein anderes Verständnis von Tod, insbesondere solche mit rechtsmedizinischem Hintergrund. Die erste Leichenschau (!) durch den paraguayischen Forensiker vor Ort war grob fehlerhaft: als unmittelbare Todesursache wird ein schweres Schäderhirntrauma angegeben, obwohl die "Hinrichtung" durch einen Schuss in den Nacken erfolgte. Das ist nicht ursächlich vereinbar mit einem SHT, da der Nacken nicht der Schädel ist - ein Schuss in den Nacken verursacht nicht ein SHT. Daraufhin wurde auf eine rechtsmedizinische Obduktion verzichtet und die Leichen beerdigt. Erst einige Tage später (bei bereits fortschreitender Verwesung) wurden sie exhumiert, da die Ermittler unter Druck gerieten.
Aber wenn man Gesichter lesen kann, wird offensichlich, daß die "Fiscala" Sandra Ledesma lügt - eine Kalligraphie wurde niemals durchgeführt - und sie redet von Beweisen, die nicht existieren
Es gab keine Fragen zum Tod. Wollen Sie sich jetzt hier auch der Verfolgung Unschuldiger anschliessen ? Es gibt keine Beweise, denn es wurde niemals seriös investigiert. Alle später gesammelten (geraubten) Gegenstände beweisen die Unschuld der Angeschuldigten. Die Fiscalia schützt die wahren Täter, denn schon bei der ersten Aktion der Polizei wurde alles großzügig kontaminiert, um Spuren zu verwischen. Sowohl Polizei (Patiño-Itaugua, Areguá) als auch Fiscalia (Itauguá und Luque) sind Komplizen. Die Fiscalia von Itauguá unterhielt eine "Polibanda" (eine Verbrecherbande bestehend aus Polizisten im Dienst), die vor etwa einem halben Jahr anlässlich eines Überfalls geschnappt wurde, die auch einen Schweizer kaltblütig ermordet haben (ähnlicher skrupelloser Fall, ebenfalls Container auf dem Grundstück mit angeblichen Wertgegenständen) - und gegen die eigenen Verbrecher ermitteltman natürlich nicht. Die Überwachungskamera der Polizei, die den Weg, d.h. die Einfahrt zu dem Grundstück überwacht, das nur 100m von der Hauptstrasse entfernt liegt), war in der Nacht des Verbrechens ausgeschaltet - nicht kaputt , kein Stromausfall, sondern abgeschaltet (!!!) und danach wieder eingeschaltet. Der einzige Polizist aus Aregua, der sich dagegen gestellt hatte, wurde kurz nach dem Verbrechen nach Ciudad del Este versetzt, damit er weit weg ist (aber er wird aus Angst nicht reden). Diese Information hat ihren Ursprung in der Polizei von Areguá (familiäre Kontakte)
Well, if you go to a place like that you might want to get some protection and I would not take my 14 year old daughter, what did her mother say to all this, she must have allowed her to go
36:22 "Yves claims he loaned his cello to Bernard to sell ...' what does that mean? There's only 15 mins left - I would have appreciated more on the business deals between them, earlier on in this well crafted doc..
I found myself feeling such empathy for the lovely sister and aunt of the murdered father and daughter. She is astute and loved her brother but realizes that forgiveness is her only path to return to a normal life. I am so sorry for her.
What's inside the safe that Volker or Stefan refused to open? What was the weapon used for the killings? Yves and Jimmy could be behind all these but obviously not the ones that killed this interesting man and his daughter.
@@weyiyaotlacatlthat is true, but they are referring to the footage of when he discovered the mammoth. He was only 16, though he did appear much older by todays standards.
He was politically very right wing and wanted to be in a place where legality and rules were flexible for those with money. Sadly it caused him to be attractive to criminals.
I know lots of Americans are moving to Paraguay to avoid the future effects of global warming and the possible coming nuclear war. It's not that unusual to want to go there. However, it's always better to remain in the country of one's birth and family, where one understands the culture and way of life instinctively. You can get into trouble very easily abroad when you don't understand how things work, when you can't read people and have no real connections.
Because when you have money you can live very well in a south american country. (You just have to make sure you have excellent security systems. That's where he fell down).
There are no third world countries anymore. When the U.R.S.S still existed they were considered a second world country and the U.S. Americans designated themselves as a first world country. The URSS doesn't exist anymore. Paraguay is a wonderful country and normal people live there, a lot happier and safer than in the USA for example where shootings are the norm. Why wouldn't he move there?
Money gives us a smartphone or a computer and functioning internet or a public library with those facilities, so we can learn these stories and comment on them. I believe it's the relentless pursuit or worshiping of money that is pointed as a sin in The Bible.
22:25: The irony... they hypocrisy.. the breathtaking sense of entitlement: when certain people feel that they have the right to emigrate to another country because they are angry that other people are migrating to theirs. It was at this point that I lost any sympathy I had for the man.
@@anomietoponymie2140still, @easyware does have a point. The documentary does briefly introduce the reason certain people choose to relocate to South American countries they see as lax places where you can get away with nefarious stuff, and have freedom from responsibility of living in a functional society. For some it’s to escape consequences for their past (or even present) activities hence the flow of nazis, criminals, predators, and those with unsavoury intentions.
so many levels of mystery. and cruelty. people who value money enough to enact such horror, is it possible to enjoy life after acts like that? i just don't think so. maybe the criminals think so. and maybe they do. at first.
Well, it's not just money. It's anything you want to turn money into. Medical care for yr family. Transportation. Your wife not having to work. All your kids not struggling. Etc.
It's terrible what happened to this man and his daughter. But, as a musician, I have to say, a collector of rare violins doesn't help the musical world at all. In fact, it doesn't even help the violins he collects. Like all musical instruments, great violins need to be played regularly in order to maintain their ability to produce their sound. People like this collector do nothing but ensure that many of them will go unplayed, and drive up the cost of all instruments to real violinists!
Move to a known corrupt country to do whatever you want, you get something, someone else wants to your detriment. I feel bad, this happened to them, on the other hand, the reasons he left his own country, all because of some harebrained ideology and belief system. Some people may be smart or talented in some way but do not possess other attributes, to make sound life decisions.

My condolences to Anita Bredow, the pain in her heart shows. Condolences to his friends, what a loss. RIP Mr Von Bredow and Loreena ✝
Yves might have burnt it for insurance and to pretend the violins were in there and burnt when they were not in it at the time. The sister seems very wise - her brother would indeed want her to move on. I hope she can even sell the house and anything recovered as there is no point in keeping anything out there to be stolen or taken.
Or she could inherit everything.
Was für eine traurige Geschichte 😢 Mögen Sie in Frieden ruhen 🙏🏽
Den Unschuldigen, die zu Unrecht verhaftet wurden, wünsche ich viel Kraft
Yes, particularly the one who lost everything as they were his true friends. Even just hearing those two and comparing them to Yves the cellist and the disabled lawyer you can see the difference and I am not jumping to conclusions based on looks but on other things.
OK before I even got towards the end of the video when I saw and heard the “lawyer” Jimmy…. Doubt that’s his real name. I immediately thought that he looked super shady. Not being racist. There was just something about him that gave me that vibe and obviously not alone in that Opinion💯
Same here. Very shady looking character.
Mir tut es unendlich leid, für ein solch begabtes Kind. Der Mörder ist ein Psychopath, ein Kind zu ermorden. Es wirkt irgendwie sehr persönlich.
Allein nur für das arme Mädchen wünsche ich mir das die Beweise klarer werden und jene Mörder wirklich bestraft.
P.s hätte gerne einen netten Psychologen der sich das Verhalten von Yves bei Fragen nach dem Tod mal etwas genauer ansieht.
Niemand hat nach dem Tod gefragt, das war nicht das Thema.
Yves hat seine medizinische Doktorarbeit in der Rechtsmedizin Hamburg gemacht, er kann Ihnen sicherlich mehr über den Tod erzählen, als Sie sich vorstellen können. Ärzte haben ein anderes Verständnis von Tod, insbesondere solche mit rechtsmedizinischem Hintergrund.
Die erste Leichenschau (!) durch den paraguayischen Forensiker vor Ort war grob fehlerhaft: als unmittelbare Todesursache wird ein schweres Schäderhirntrauma angegeben, obwohl die "Hinrichtung" durch einen Schuss in den Nacken erfolgte. Das ist nicht ursächlich vereinbar mit einem SHT, da der Nacken nicht der Schädel ist - ein Schuss in den Nacken verursacht nicht ein SHT. Daraufhin wurde auf eine rechtsmedizinische Obduktion verzichtet und die Leichen beerdigt. Erst einige Tage später (bei bereits fortschreitender Verwesung) wurden sie exhumiert, da die Ermittler unter Druck gerieten.
Aber wenn man Gesichter lesen kann, wird offensichlich, daß die "Fiscala" Sandra Ledesma lügt - eine Kalligraphie wurde niemals durchgeführt - und sie redet von Beweisen, die nicht existieren
Es gab keine Fragen zum Tod.
Wollen Sie sich jetzt hier auch der Verfolgung Unschuldiger anschliessen ?
Es gibt keine Beweise, denn es wurde niemals seriös investigiert.
Alle später gesammelten (geraubten) Gegenstände beweisen die Unschuld der Angeschuldigten.
Die Fiscalia schützt die wahren Täter, denn schon bei der ersten Aktion der Polizei wurde alles großzügig kontaminiert, um Spuren zu verwischen.
Sowohl Polizei (Patiño-Itaugua, Areguá) als auch Fiscalia (Itauguá und Luque) sind Komplizen.
Die Fiscalia von Itauguá unterhielt eine "Polibanda" (eine Verbrecherbande bestehend aus Polizisten im Dienst), die vor etwa einem halben Jahr anlässlich eines Überfalls geschnappt wurde, die auch einen Schweizer kaltblütig ermordet haben (ähnlicher skrupelloser Fall, ebenfalls Container auf dem Grundstück mit angeblichen Wertgegenständen) - und gegen die eigenen Verbrecher ermitteltman natürlich nicht.
Die Überwachungskamera der Polizei, die den Weg, d.h. die Einfahrt zu dem Grundstück überwacht, das nur 100m von der Hauptstrasse entfernt liegt), war in der Nacht des Verbrechens ausgeschaltet - nicht kaputt , kein Stromausfall, sondern abgeschaltet (!!!) und danach wieder eingeschaltet. Der einzige Polizist aus Aregua, der sich dagegen gestellt hatte, wurde kurz nach dem Verbrechen nach Ciudad del Este versetzt, damit er weit weg ist (aber er wird aus Angst nicht reden).
Diese Information hat ihren Ursprung in der Polizei von Areguá (familiäre Kontakte)
So sad 😢😢 but I'm glad they're together in heaven... Rest in peace father and daughter 💔💔💔💔💔💔💔😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇
Living in Germany and Europe is not so bad for individual freedom …
But some people don't want the social responsibility and duty that goes with safety, democracy and law
@@dshe8637 There are no bad people, only poor leaders and those who elect them, in Europe that is …
After WWII up until spring of 2020
@esr243 so many comments deleted, this just doesn't make sense 🤣
He did not want emigrants in Europe yet he went to place as an immigrant so thet he could do what he wanted!!!! How coerent and fair!
Well, if you go to a place like that you might want to get some protection and I would not take my 14 year old daughter, what did her mother say to all this, she must have allowed her to go
36:22 "Yves claims he loaned his cello to Bernard to sell ...' what does that mean? There's only 15 mins left - I would have appreciated more on the business deals between them, earlier on in this well crafted doc..
He is a narc & liar and clearly guilty! I assume it was him , acting as a victim
The backdrop happens to be Paraguay-but this business deal turned bitter (with greed thrown in) could take place anywhere.
I'm so sorry for the loss of these to beautiful people.....my thougths goes out to their family and friends.❤ 🙏
Someone stole Jimmy's neck 😮
I know, he sank so low...
He said he had a disability, people. 😑
@@CMD4WP 😂
I found myself feeling such empathy for the lovely sister and aunt of the murdered father and daughter. She is astute and loved her brother but realizes that forgiveness is her only path to return to a normal life. I am so sorry for her.
What's inside the safe that Volker or Stefan refused to open? What was the weapon used for the killings? Yves and Jimmy could be behind all these but obviously not the ones that killed this interesting man and his daughter.
Volker is definitely not trustworthy to me here. Why bury him so quickly within days? Maybe they are all involved and sent assassins to do the job.
Guns n violins; a gun; and yes that was strongly implied.
16..... six....teen??????!!! He looks about 46!
He felt more mature 😅😅
literally had to pause and rewind the video cause thought the same XD XD XD people looked more mature back then I guess
You got it wrong people , he wasn't sixteen when he appeared in the video , he was older and telling about his finding when he was 16 in the video .
@@weyiyaotlacatlthat is true, but they are referring to the footage of when he discovered the mammoth. He was only 16, though he did appear much older by todays standards.
Yes they did look older time passes more quickly now.
Excellent investigative reporting, which is too rare. Looking forward to more in the future. Thx
Rest In Peace.
This documentary explained virtually nothing that counted.
I get moving to Argentina where there’s a large German diaspora but why move to Paraguay??
There are many in Venezuela as well. You just didn’t know.
Those of a right wing persuasion had romantic ideas about making their own state in South America
@@dshe8637 After the second world war, yes, but not now!! That was about 75 years ago. Update your knowledge.
Still a common belief nonetheless. The grass is always greener for ppl who believe they are entitled to absolute freedom absolutely.
Why would you emigrate to Paraguay? Isn’t it a third world country?
Legit question.
more like 5th world country
He was politically very right wing and wanted to be in a place where legality and rules were flexible for those with money.
Sadly it caused him to be attractive to criminals.
I know lots of Americans are moving to Paraguay to avoid the future effects of global warming and the possible coming nuclear war. It's not that unusual to want to go there. However, it's always better to remain in the country of one's birth and family, where one understands the culture and way of life instinctively. You can get into trouble very easily abroad when you don't understand how things work, when you can't read people and have no real connections.
Because when you have money you can live very well in a south american country. (You just have to make sure you have excellent security systems. That's where he fell down).
There are no third world countries anymore. When the U.R.S.S still existed they were considered a second world country and the U.S. Americans designated themselves as a first world country. The URSS doesn't exist anymore. Paraguay is a wonderful country and normal people live there, a lot happier and safer than in the USA for example where shootings are the norm. Why wouldn't he move there?
very well done 🎉
Schönes Doku, danke!
No mention of Loreenas mother, suspicious or not?
Very odd indeed
It would not surpise me if Yves was formerly a woman and the birth mother of Loreena, that's how crazy this story is.

I assume it is because German privacy law is very strong (or she might have died years before)
Captivating
Money, the root of all evil........😥
Money gives us a smartphone or a computer and functioning internet or a public library with those facilities, so we can learn these stories and comment on them. I believe it's the relentless pursuit or worshiping of money that is pointed as a sin in The Bible.
@@imalrockme We all need money for survival. It is when money becomes the primary driving force that the danger arises.....
Oh, my?!? That Jimmy's looks are telling all.
Rather unpleasant and shady guy.
Very sad outcome for Bernard and his daughter. May they rest in peace ❤
Brilliant documentary! There was no mention of Lorena's mother and I wondered why..
22:25: The irony... they hypocrisy.. the breathtaking sense of entitlement: when certain people feel that they have the right to emigrate to another country because they are angry that other people are migrating to theirs. It was at this point that I lost any sympathy I had for the man.
Shows you don't understand why Europeans are objecting to mass immigration.
@@anomietoponymie2140still, @easyware does have a point. The documentary does briefly introduce the reason certain people choose to relocate to South American countries they see as lax places where you can get away with nefarious stuff, and have freedom from responsibility of living in a functional society. For some it’s to escape consequences for their past (or even present) activities hence the flow of nazis, criminals, predators, and those with unsavoury intentions.
Thanks! Wow very nicely done.
Great story !!!
Where is mum?
He should never have moved to Paraguay.
Paraguay has prisons for the exceptionally criminal people.
Hahahahahahaha
Fascinating story ❤
Brilliant prosecutor
so many levels of mystery. and cruelty. people who value money enough to enact such horror, is it possible to enjoy life after acts like that? i just don't think so. maybe the criminals think so. and maybe they do. at first.
Well, it's not just money. It's anything you want to turn money into. Medical care for yr family. Transportation. Your wife not having to work. All your kids not struggling. Etc.
Why was he living in Paraguay?
It's about the last place I would move if I had a lot of valuable stuff in my possession.
Wow. Nice one.
Sad...the cellist actually was quite accomplished. To have sunk so low.....
And if u have what to be robbed, you're a dead man walking
It's terrible what happened to this man and his daughter. But, as a musician, I have to say, a collector of rare violins doesn't help the musical world at all. In fact, it doesn't even help the violins he collects. Like all musical instruments, great violins need to be played regularly in order to maintain their ability to produce their sound. People like this collector do nothing but ensure that many of them will go unplayed, and drive up the cost of all instruments to real violinists!
😑🙏

Цікава та пізнавальна історія. Дякую
Does'nt matter that you are right. Why does Russia still have internet access?? You should not have this freedom, until you retreat from Ukraine?
MORAL,,,,,STAY OUT OF ANY COUNTRY WHERE SPANISH IS SPOKEN,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
lol
The USA is a lot more dangerous than any Spanish or Portuguese speaking country.
Speaking of violin collectors and musical instruments auctions, why don’t you investigate a certain Mr Bongartz next?😉
Move to a known corrupt country to do whatever you want, you get something, someone else wants to your detriment. I feel bad, this happened to them, on the other hand, the reasons he left his own country, all because of some harebrained ideology and belief system. Some people may be smart or talented in some way but do not possess other attributes, to make sound life decisions.
Awful story. Love the beautiful violin music in the background.
SPEECHLESS...
my violin was stolen from nashville it was over a hundred years old i played it during holidays and made 400 dollars,,,it was very nice,,,tiger stripe wood,,,losers take,,,it played well and i learned alot on it,,,
What a story!
wow fascinating also RIP
So very sad
I'm thinking someone not from a crime syndicate but rather a tribe. This is next level cruelty.
Plenty of Nazis around Paraguay, bud.
@@TecoloteOnelooking for this comment. I concur. Only a stolen Stradivarius would end up there.
I just heard about this vaguely about him being killed, it looks more complex than just crime in a third world country.
I AM ALWAYS AMUSED HOW PEOPLE WHO HATE THEIR OWN COUNTRY FILLING UP WITH FOREIGNERS, MOVE TO OTHER COUTRIES FILLED WITH FOREIGNERS
beautiful souns and violins.
