Episode description
The adopted princess of a wealthy Spanish family, 12-year-old Asunta Basterra Porto seemed destined to thrive under the devoted care of her parents Rosario and Alfonso. But beneath the surface, sinister secrets were taking root – including clandestine druggings, creepy family photos and one seriously twisted marriage.
Had these callous parents cast aside the daughter they chose? An investigation dogged by accusations of bias would only muddy the waters further...
Join us this week as we explore one of Spain’s murkiest and most divisive true-crime stories: The Asunta Case.
