If one were to browse the Univision News website and all of its archival data, there were pictures showing some of the evidence used in Yolanda’s trial. There were these two documents in particular that piqued my interest back then. There was one letter sent to Yolanda from the Attorney General of Texas, and another from the IRS. It seemed Yolanda owed $1,108.32 in sales taxes, according to then Texas AG Dan Morales. This was dated in May 1994. The letter from the IRS was dated in November 1993, where she owed over $400 in income taxes with accrued penalties and interest from 1988 that was not entirely paid off. In addition to that, she also owed roughly just under $7,000 from her defaulted student loans from when she went to school for nursing, according to a letter she received on March 17th, 1995, ironically, just two weeks before Selena’s death.
For someone allegedly stealing money from the fan club, one might argue that she would want to cover her debt; otherwise, what the hell was she spending the money on? Was there evidence she was coming to work with nice clothes, a fancy new car, paying money to her family, which had their fair share of financial struggles, according to Yolanda’s sister, Maria Elida Saldivar. What about the money she owed to her former employer, the dermatologist she allegedly swindled about $9,000 from? Where is the money trail to confirm where this money went? I’m sure she had credit cards, so didn’t any competent investigator look into her credit card statements to see what she purchased, if and when she used her card? So many questions and very few answers unfortunately.
Supposedly, Yolanda had multiple bank accounts so I could see her hiding the money by depositing it in these accounts, then closing them to erase the deposit and withdrawal history every so often, but then why not destroy the checks she had cashed since the checks were deemed evidence by Abraham Quintanilla that she was embezzling funds from the fan club and eventually Selena’s boutique? The official narrative makes it seem that Yolanda was cunning but inept at the same time, to make herself that obvious in the end by leaving the checks available for Abraham or anyone else to one day stumble upon. Abraham only caught onto Yolanda because she allegedly wasn’t giving the fan club members their memorabilia they had paid for, rendering Abraham suspicious of Yolanda, then he suddenly became Sherlock Holmes/Colombo after remaining ignorant for nearly 4 years. Sorry, but I’m not buying it, and the general public shouldn’t be either.
