EXCLUSIVE: Netflix will attempt to unravel an 18-year-old mystery surrounding the death of Nora Dalmasso, a mother of two who was found strangled in her home in an affluent Argentinian city.
Netflix has greenlit the true-crime documentary from Pulse Films, the British production company behind The Disappearance of Madeleine McCann and Gangs of London.
Working titled The Many Deaths of Nora Dalmasso, the documentary will examine the November 2006 murder of Dalmasso in Río Cuarto. Dalmasso’s body was found in her daughter’s bedroom with the cloth belt of her robe tied in a double knot around her neck.
Eighteen years on from the incident, Dalmasso’s killer has yet to be brought to justice by authorities in Argentina. Her husband Marcelo Macarrón was acquitted during a trial in 2022 after it was concluded that he was participating in a golf tournament in Uruguay at the time of the murder.
The finger has also been wrongly pointed at Dalmasso’s son, Facundo Macarron, in a case that is widely considered to have been mismanaged, resulting in protests in Río Cuarto and the resignations of police officials and prosecutors, per reports.
In a 2007 report on the murder in The LA Times, the newspaper said Dalmasso was emblematic of a “flawless wife and mother” who lived in an exclusive part of town. Police at the time believed her death was a crime of passion and that she likely knew her killer.
Netflix had no comment.
