Carmel: ¿Quién mató a María Marta?

This documentary is not a waste of time at all, it is very well done and quite detailed. The cover-up story smells pretty bad, but I still have doubts.

Is it possible to make so many mistakes in a moment of extreme panic? Doubts doubts doubts... In short, if you like documentaries about crimes in real life, don't miss it. Entertaining and very well done.

When we think of the murder of a woman by five gun shots, the first thing that comes to mind is that it happened in a seedy alley in the middle of the night, not in a fancy Country Club for the wealthiest among us in the outskirts of a city.

The murder of Maria Marta García Belsunce seems as if it was taken out of a mystery novel, it begins with the discovery of a well-to-do socialite lying next to her bathtub, and the family thinking or assuming she hit her head on the tap and fell in, but what follows is so unfathomable it's hard to describe. The family assumes it is an accident, no one bothers calling the police, two doctors have different theories on the way she died, and without an autopsy she is laid to rest the next day.

But a district attorney did an autopsy and revealed that not only did Maria not died accidentally, but that she was also shot 5 times on the side of her head, and all the family is shocked somehow at this revelation

What follows is a media circus and some events worthy of a science fiction novel that you will have to see to believe. I will not spoil what happens in the end or if anyone pays for the crime, but this is by far one of the most bizarre true crime documentaries I have ever watched, NETFLIX is quickly becoming the home of these type of stories, and this is by far one of the most intriguing ones, filled to the brim with mysteries, conspiracy theories, family drama, but most of all it contains facts that fiction writers would never get away with.

Everything about this murder, the cover up, the trials, the people, is one big hot mess. It's hard to even understand how it all goes together. A good job by the producers to put the timeline of events together, and get the major parties interviewed.

A deep ploughng , sincere, and bipartisan presentation of a case that ive never heard about here in norway. i do though have my doupts on the judicial system of argentina, mostly based on the unstable political and economical hardships, and deadserious coupd'etates, that made the word ''junta'' a common word for evil/bad , a relay of which branch of the military that wanted to rule. so how trustworthy things and coverage where back then at the start of the decennium...i have my doupts.

but this product is among the upper part of the ducumantaries' super liga, it entertained the grumpy old man, and had me filled with uncertainty till the end, just like fiction but from real life. recommended

The Taylor woman was accused by Maria's friend in court implicating the husband in a cover up yet acted like a drama queen at the trial denying it and criticizing the old friend as fame hungry --a totally ridiculous performance. The Taylor woman drove miles on the night of the murder to get the fake death certificate. The Taylor woman was accused of having ties to Mexican drug cartels. Why was none of this investigated?

There is no evidence for motive by Maria's husband.

What about the missing money from the charity? Interrupted burglary is the most obvious motive.

Other than that, the documentary director should have kept the interviews close up-- the full shots of those big men "man-spreading" their legs was distracting as hell.
