Movistar unlocks three new true crime documentaries – a deep dive into spain's darkest corners

Movistar Plus+ is ramping up its true crime offerings, launching three new investigative documentaries spearheaded by acclaimed author Carles Porta, starting May 14th. Forget slow-burn reveals; subscribers will experience a monthly drip-feed of chilling narratives spanning decades and regions across Spain.

A chronicle of shadows: porta’s latest cases unveiled

The first installment, ‘Peregrina,’ delves into the 2015 disappearance of Denise Pikka Thiem, a pilgrim vanished near Astorga, León. The case, initially a local mystery, escalated with the involvement of the FBI after relentless citizen mobilization. Expect a granular examination of the investigation, featuring exclusive testimony from key figures – including UDEV investigators, forensic analysts, and journalists – alongside previously unseen archival footage.

From almansa to the courts: ‘mátalo ya’ explores a brutal attack

Next up, on June 4th, ‘Mátalo ya’ dissects the 2017 stabbing of Juan Martínez in Almansa, Albacete. Initially dismissed as a tragic accident, the case quickly unraveled, exposing a web of deceit. This documentary unearths the chilling details – recovered mobile messages suggesting premeditation – and the subsequent investigation by the Guardia Civil, culminating in a complex legal battle.

The twin’s deadly plan: ‘el plan de las gemelas’ promises shocking revelations

Finally, on July 2nd, ‘El plan de las gemelas’ will expose a disturbing plot. Recovered messages from detainees hint at a calculated scheme involving a “chloroform” and an “electric pistol,” promising a disturbing glimpse into the motivations behind a heinous crime. Movistar Plus+ is delivering a concentrated dose of suspense – a welcome addition to its growing true crime library.

Subscription details are straightforward: €9.99 per month for access to the entire true crime catalog, or €99.90 annually for a discounted rate. A Cultural Young Beneficiary bonus offers an additional eight months free. Don’t delay – immerse yourself in these gripping stories, available now on Movistar Plus+.
