"The Part About the Crimes" focuses directly on the murders—specifically the murders of 112 women in Santa Teresa between 1993 and 1997. It spotlights the lives these women led before their deaths, the police's mostly incompetent investigation, and detailed descriptions and likely causes of the various murders. The central character is Juan de Dios Martinez, a police detective having an affair with Elvira Campo, an older woman who runs a mental hospital. He's investigating the case of a man who keeps urinating in churches, but is also investigating the case of Klaus Haas, the primary suspect. However, the story is complicated with Haas calls a press conference where he accuses Daniel Uribe, a powerful businessman's son, of the murders.
