    The Diary: God, Help Me Get Away From This Evil

    A nine-year-old girl, classified as an unaccompanied minor, never boarded her flight from Madrid-Barajas, leaving airline staff waiting at the gate. Six months before Argelis Leonela vanished, her mother, Adolfina Poyo, wrote a chilling sentence in a diary: "God, help me get away from this evil." What happened in the meticulously tidy apartment in Vallecas that led to their disappearance?

    In this episode, we delve into the unsettling case of Adolfina Poyo and her daughter Argelis Leonela, who vanished without a trace from their Madrid apartment. We explore the hidden fears documented in a diary, the overlooked police report, and the man who shared their home, whose calm demeanor belied a sinister truth.
