Netflix Documentary Series Lacks Evidence of Case

Netflix Documentary Without Documentation

Netflix presents the documentary series 'The TikTok Killer' as an investigation into the disappearance of a Spanish girl named Esther, who according to the series' official description vanished in 2023 after fleeing an abusive relationship. The series follows her mother's desperate search for answers across Argentina. However, a thorough review of verifiable sources raises serious questions about the case's authenticity.

It is remarkable that a documentary series about such a serious matter — a disappearance potentially ending in murder — leaves no trace in publicly available sources, investigation reports, or media coverage beyond Netflix's own marketing materials.

Searching for Facts

Truecrime.news conducted extensive research through multiple databases to verify basic facts about the case. The result was unambiguous: no search results were found across international databases, news archives, or investigation materials documenting the disappearance of a person named Esther from Spain in 2023, whether related to Argentina or otherwise.

This does not necessarily mean the series is entirely without value — true crime documentaries can be dramatizations or based on anonymized stories. However, Netflix's own description claims to follow "a mother's desperate search," which suggests a real case with a named person.
