In April 2014, Piedad Moya, a 44-year-old woman, vanished from Mataró. She was described as a devoted mother and a diligent worker by her family, friends, and colleagues. Piedad had two daughters aged 17 and 12 and worked as a nursing auxiliary. Her disappearance raised alarms within her community as she was considered a caring mother who would never abandon her children.

The episode discusses Piedad's family background, highlighting the complexities of her relationships, particularly with her estranged husband, Mohamed Taeri. Piedad had four children from different relationships, and the dynamics within these familial structures were examined. The concerns of her daughters, especially Gloria and Sara, about their mother's well-being and their father’s behavior were stressed, hinting at underlying tensions and domestic violence.

The podcast delves into the investigation that followed Piedad's disappearance. The Mossos d'Esquadra, the Catalan police, initiated inquiries that implicated her husband Mohamed, exploring the possibility of foul play.

The discussions shed light on how Piedad's situation is reflective of systemic issues related to women in tumultuous relationships, emphasizing the importance of recognizing signs of abuse and the need for adequate support systems.
