About Ariel Fefer


I was seventeen years old when my mother, Myriam Fefer, was murdered inside our home in Lima, Peru.

What followed was not just grief — it was a years-long fight for justice that consumed my adolescence and early adulthood. I pursued journalism at Universidad Peruana de Ciencias Aplicadas, driven by the belief that the truth about my mother's case deserved to be told properly. I fought for the killer's extradition to Peru and won. Then, exhausted and still without full answers, I stepped away and tried to build a normal life.

I eventually settled in Fort Lauderdale, Florida — far from Lima, but never far from the questions that never left me.
Who Killed My Mother: The Fefer Case is my return. Not as a victim's son asking for sympathy, but as an investigator demanding accountability. Twenty years of distance have given me something I didn't have at seventeen: clarity, language, and the will to ask the questions no one fully answered.

This is not a story I chose. But it is one I am finally ready to tell.
