Raquel is supposedly the young wife but more likely the girlfriend of Juan Carlos Abregon. She visits him regularly in prison but after he is sent to Chonchocoro, she comes to Thomas at San Pedro and tells him Juan Carlos wants him to give her all the money Juan Carlos has hidden in his cell. She is lying, and she keeps the money Thomas gives her. Stupidly, Raquel later visits Juan Carlos at Chonchocoro, and he strangles her to death with a television cord before killing himself.
