What happens

Crime Diaries: The Search (Spanish for Historia de un crimen: La búsqueda) is a Mexican television series produced by Dynamo for Netflix. It stars Regina Blandón, Darío Yazbek Bernal and Verónica Bravo, and the story is based on the case of the disappearance and death of 4-year-old girl Paulette Gebara Farah. All 6 episodes of the season became available for streaming on Netflix on 12 June 2020. The series received criticism for its light comedy tone, the poor performance of Yazbek and for omitting all mentions regarding both Paulette's parents' roles in the events.
