The true story behind Angi: Fake Life, True Crime
María Ángeles Molina, known as Angi, was convicted for the February 19, 2008, murder of 35-year-old fashion designer Ana Páez in Barcelona. Páez was found dead in a tourist apartment, naked with a plastic bag over her head. Initially thought to be a s*xual crime, the case shifted when police linked Angi to the murder.
Angi killed Páez and impersonated her, earning the media label “The Near-Perfect Crime.” She was arrested after inconsistencies in her story and forensic evidence tied her to the scene. In 2010, she received an 18-year prison sentence and remains incarcerated in Spain.
Angi: Fake Life, True Crime also examines the 1996 death of Angi’s husband, Juan Antonio Álvarez Litben, a businessman who died under suspicious circumstances. Though initially a cold case, the 2008 investigation raised questions, but no charges were filed.
As per details provided by Netflix, over 60 interviews, including retired police, detectives, and family members, plus 2,000 pages of case files, reveal Angi’s deceptive identities. Directed by Carlos Agulló, the docuseries uncovers her calculated actions, with no evidence of other culprits.
