From the original series (left to right): Hector Estrada, Santos Jimenez, and Juan Pablo Aliso
Laura Moser's Killers are characters in the Showtime series DEXTER as well as the second spinoff Dexter: Original Sin, a prequel of the original series.
The Estrada Organization was responsible for a large surge of Colombian drugs hitting the streets of Miami, creating a powerful foothold within the city. Those that worked for the organization had to adhere to a strict policy on trust - if broken, punishment could result in the removal of a finger or worse...in the case of the Shipping Yard Massacre.
The killers are three men within the Cartel: Santos Jimenez, Juan Pablo Aliso and the Kingpin himself Hector Estrada. They are responsible for the deaths of four people in a shipping container, including Laura Moser: the mother of Brian Moser and Dexter Morgan which ultimately created the N.H.I Serial Killer/Ice Truck Killer and the Bay Harbor Butcher, the latter of which would seek revenge in his adult life.
History[]
A Miami drug lord, Hector Estrada, discovered that Laura Moser was a Confidential Informant for the Miami Metro Police Department and was in a relationship with Detective Harry Morgan. Estrada then ordered two of his men to kill Laura, along with three drug users who had stolen drugs from him. Estrada went with them to a cargo container where the deed was carried out by chainsaw. Young Dexter and Brian Moser were present, and witnessed the brutality. They later grew up to be serial killers who dismembered their victims.
The Killers[]
- Santos Jimenez - Enforcer for the Estrada Organization, he was assigned to watch Laura Moser following a meeting she had with Hector Estrada. Jimenez spotted Laura conversing with Sergeant Harry Morgan at a park, which resulted in her and her children's abduction. Of the three men, he was the one who actually killed Laura Moser by wielding the chainsaw. Jimenez in his later life claimed that he was forced to follow the orders of Hector Estrada or be killed himself. Jimenez turned state's evidence and went free...until he was eventually tracked down by Dexter Morgan.
- Juan Pablo Aliso - A man in his 30s at the time, he was one of the three present during Laura's murder holding the victims still alongside Estrada as Jimenez sawed into them. Juan Pablo Aliso was supposedly killed in a drug deal off screen...
- Hector Estrada - He was the ringleader, in his 30s at the time. Hector became the target of Miami Metro Vice and they assigned Harry Morgan and Bobby Watt to the case, with the goal of using an informant to get close to Estrada. After she had successfully moved up the ranks to get his attention - he had a meeting with here where he revealed a large shipment was set for the following week and let Laura leave...with Jimenez assigned to keep an eye on her. When she was found to be conversing with Sergeant Harry Morgan, Estrada ordered that Laura and her kids be taken to a shipping container that held three other informants. It was by his orders that everyone die in that container, going to hold other victims in place with Juan Pablo while Jimenez did the killing with the chainsaw. Following this incident Estrada was arrested and sentenced to life in prison. However, many years later Captain Maria LaGuerta arranged for his compassionate release to trap Dexter in "Do You See What I See?". Dexter would eventually claim Estrada's life, ending the last of the three killers in the shipping container where "monsters were born".
