Santiago Luís Cárdenas y Valdéz (12 March 1965 – disappeared 3 March 2017) was a Creeperian journalist, news presenter, commentator, and writer. He wrote articles for the Gaceta Creeperiano national newspaper and hosted the Ocurrencias del Sur evening news show .
The deaths of two his brothers to gang violence during his youth led Cárdenas Valdéz to grow an interest the events of the Mara War. In the early-1990s, Cárdenas Valdéz began writing an editorial titled Ocurrencias del Sur which covered the events of the Mara War. Ocurrencias del Sur was one of the Gaceta Creeperiano's most read publications. In October 2005, he was given his own news show, named Ocurrencias del Sur directly after his editorial. The news show became one of Channel 2's most popular broadcasts and was given the channel's weekday evening slot to maximize viewership. Cárdenas Valdéz was also involved in the production of the Adentro de Mara documentary and the Biografías Criminales a documentary series.
In March 2017, while filming an episode of Biografías Criminales, Cárdenas Valdéz was kidnapped by Los'Sureños and held for ransom. The Gaceta Creeperiano refused to pay Los'Sureños' ransom and an investigation by the National Intelligence Directorate (DINA) was unable to locate Cárdenas Valdéz and Los'Sureños never confirmed if they had killed Cárdenas Valdéz. After his kidnapping, Cárdenas Valdéz became a folk hero and icon for Creeperian journalists.
