19. Morata's Triple Murder (Spain): The Spell and the Debt

About this episode

This episode explores the disappearance of three siblings in Morata de Tajuña, Spain, linked to a Facebook romance scam and financial pressures.

In Morata de Tajuña, Spain (outside Madrid), three siblings disappear from their routines... until police enter their home and the town is forced to confront what happened behind closed doors. This episode traces two timelines: a Facebook romance scam (“the spell”) and the real-world pressure of money owed (“the debt”). When the scam stops being digital, the consequences don’t.
