In 2008, María Ángeles Molina – also known as Angi – invited her fashion designer Ana Páez to her apartment in Barcelona, ​​where she put her under drugs with chloroform before putting a sealed bag over her head. It also planted seed samples from two male sex workers on site.

In 2012, the Spanish Outlet El Pais reported that a man had testified in Molina's process that she had visited his brothel in which the sex workers were busy.

“She said she didn't want sex, but had a bet with friends that she would sleep with a gigolo,” Juan Manuel D. told the court.

El Pais reported that Molina camouflaged as Páez for two years before killing her. In Páez 'names, several life insurance policies and credit lines were awarded between April 2006 and November 2007, El Confidencial reported and was observed on CCTV in a Barcelona bank that was wearing a wig in 2007 to issue Páez.

At that time, Molina's friend also gave the authorities documents that he found in Páez, including her passport, which was hidden in the bathroom.

According to Netflix, the case was described by the media as “the almost perfect crime”.
