Netflix investigates Nora Dalmasso's death in Pulse Films' true-crime documentary

EXCLUSIVE: Netflix will attempt to solve an 18-year-old mystery surrounding the death of Nora Dalmasso, a mother of two who was found strangled in her home in a wealthy Argentine city.

Netflix has given the green light to the true crime documentary from Pulse Films, the British production company behind it The disappearance of Madeleine McCann And Gangs of London.

Working title The Many Deaths of Nora DalmassoThe documentary examines Dalmasso's November 2006 murder in Río Cuarto. Dalmasso's body was found in her daughter's bedroom with the fabric belt of her robe tied in a double knot around her neck.

Eighteen years after the incident, Dalmasso's murderer has yet to be brought to justice by Argentine authorities. Her husband, Marcelo Macarrón, was acquitted in a 2022 trial after it was discovered that he was attending a golf tournament in Uruguay at the time of the murder.

The finger was also wrongly pointed at Dalmasso's son, Facundo Macarron, in a case widely seen as mishandled, which reportedly led to protests in Río Cuarto and the resignation of police officers and prosecutors.

In a 2007 report on the murder in The LA TimesThe newspaper said Dalmasso was a symbol of a “flawless wife and mother” who lived in an exclusive part of the city. Police at the time believed her death was a crime of passion and that she probably knew her killer.

Netflix had no comment.
