Murder By the Coast, Netflix's latest true-crime offering, breaks down the horrific killing of 19-year-old Rocío Wanninkhof in Spain in 1999. The other major story in the murder documentary follows the relationship between María Dolores "Loli" Vázquez and Alicia Hornos, Wanninkhof's mother. Despite very little evidence tying her to the case, the former became the number one suspect for Wanninkhof's murder. Though no concrete evidence tied Vázquez to the investigation, the media and prosecution team hyped up gossip around her sexuality to make her appear guilty.
