Wendy revealed that Kaletry was murdered while she was giving an interview. She addressed the entire experience and stated:

"I was in an interview and I turned around and saw that someone fell over there and the truth is I'm in shock, afraid […] I didn't really know the boy very well. Poor little boy. I am very nervous, I have never experienced anything like this. They were all there, and La Bebeshita did manage to arrive, but not to go (to the property)."
