True crime fans are up in arms after watching a documentary about the horrific murder of a mother in Argentina.

Described by the streaming service as a 'documentary series about one of the most shocking femicides in Argentine history', the three-part series gives viewers a 'deeper understanding' of who Nora Dalmasso was.

In November 2006, the 51-year-old was found dead in her daughter's bedroom in the city of Río Cuarto. She had been strangled with the cloth belt of her robe and was discovered wearing only a Rolex watch.

Dalmasso had been out with friends the weekend she was found dead, with a neighbor discovering her body on a Sunday.

Police then concluded she must have been killed the day before she was found dead.

There were also no signs of forced entry or a disturbance. Netflix has released its documentary about the case, titled The Many Deaths of Nora Dalmasso.

Following Dalmasso's death, a media frenzy erupted, and the investigation made headline news. However, the initial investigation was met with controversy from the public and political figures, according to Hello! Magazine.

Both Dalmasso's husband, Marcelo Macarrón, and her son, Facundo Macarrón, were falsely accused of her murder.

In July 2022, Macarrón was acquitted due to a lack of evidence, and he was also found to have been competing in a golfing competition in Uruguay at the time of her death, the outlet reports.

Facundo was charged in 2007 with homicide and aggravated sexual abuse; however, family lawyers said he was innocent and rubbished the claim that there was evidence of his DNA at the house, with defence attorney Tirso Pereyra saying (via The Mirror US): "Of course, his genetic profile was in the house. The kid lived there."

Eighteen years later, Dalmasso’s murder remains unsolved, and the mismanagement of the case led to the resignations of over a dozen police officers and prosecutors.

This true crime story is told through first-hand accounts from Dalmasso’s children, Facundo and her daughter, Valentina Macarrón, and husband Marcelo, in the documentary, according to Netflix.

Testimonies are also shared by close friends, investigative journalists, as well as key figures from the police and judicial systems.

The Many Deaths of Nora Dalmasso has had a profound impact on viewers, who are calling for 'justice' for Dalmasso.

"Justice was not served!" one viewer posted on X (formerly Twitter) in response to the documentary.

"The rage I felt watching The Many Deaths of Nora dalmasso. holy sh*t," another outraged viewer wrote.

A third posted: "Watched this documentary on Nora Dalmasso's murder and the anger I felt for [the] media and journalists and the police, the way they mishandled the whole case."

In an interview with Netflix, director Jamie Crawford said they had a 'personal connection to the community it affected', adding: "Nearly 20 years since her death I wanted to seek the humanity behind the headlines, to find out who Nora Dalmasso really was, and how those closest to her survived their decades-long ordeal."

​​The Many Deaths Of Nora Dalmasso is available to stream on Netflix now.
