Plot Synopsis

SELENA & YOLANDA: THE SECRETS BETWEEN THEM is a two-part documentary that focuses on Mexican-American cultural icon Selena Quintanilla Perez and her killer, Yolanda Saldivar. This two-night event examines Saldivar's interpretation of events that ended in Selena's death and her claims that everything wasn't as it seemed. Nearly 30 years ago, the tragic murder of Tejano superstar Selena sent shockwaves through the world and bore a legacy that remains relevant today. The investigation that followed Selena's killing revealed that Saldivar was a close friend of Selena's, ran her fan club and was accused of stealing from the singer's businesses. Some of those who were on the scene in Corpus Christi, Texas and who investigated Saldivar, challenge the new information presented and remain steadfast in their determination that she was rightfully convicted. The hostage negotiator who spent nine hours on the phone with Saldivar after she shot Selena, the Corpus Christi Police Department detectives who were on the scene, the prosecutors who put Saldivar on trial and journalists who cover Selena and Latinx culture are among those who provide their unique insight on the tragedy and Selena's legacy. Saldivar is eligible for parole next year.

Now, this series marks the first time in over two decades that Saldivar has been interviewed extensively in English and on camera. In a series of wide-ranging interviews from prison, Saldivar details her working relationship and friendship with Selena, and she's not alone. For the first time, members of Yolanda's family discuss the two women and share never-before-revealed documents and recordings in an effort to show there was more to the tragedy than the public knows.

The two-night event includes:

"The Woman in the Red Truck" (Saturday, February 17, 2024 from 8-10pm): Yolanda Saldivar, the killer of Tejano music superstar Selena Quintanilla Perez, speaks out about her relationship with the singer and hopes to shed new light on what led to that fateful day in 1995.
