September 14, 1943 - Ingrid Olderock
A uniformed officer who transitioned into the apparatus of state repression at its founding moment, Olderock became one of the few women to hold an operational role within DINA, Chile's secret police under Pinochet. Her case is notable for the methods attributed to her and for what her position reveals about how the dictatorship recruited and utilized personnel across institutional lines. The nickname she acquired reflects the specific character of the abuses documented against her.
