Overview
- The series, produced by iZen Documentales and directed by Héctor Muniente, is now streaming on Netflix in Spanish with English options.
- Ester Estepa, 42, disappeared in August 2023 after meeting Montilla while traveling; her body was found in June 2024 near Gandía with a fatal head injury and evidence of sexual assault reported by investigators.
- Police say Montilla was the last person seen with Estepa and report finding phone photos and videos of a woman’s body in a sleeping bag, alongside WhatsApp clues traced by family and investigators.
- Montilla was arrested in May 2024, charged in connection with Estepa’s death, and separately faces charges over the killing of a 21-year-old student; he denies the allegations and awaits trial.
- The documentary places the case in context of Montilla’s past: four murders in the 1980s, release in 2013 after the European Court of Human Rights ruling on the Parot Doctrine, and his later TikTok persona as “Dynamite.”
