00:00On September 1st, 2018, around 9 at night.
00:06Amelia Fialio, a respected 59-year-old teacher, disappeared without leaving any trace.
00:12Today's story takes us to Portugal, specifically to the Montejo area.
00:16Two days after her disappearance, Diana, her daughter, made a post on Facebook.
00:24In that message, Diana said that her mother had disappeared, that she was last seen on the night of September
00:301st at dinnertime, which was when she said she was going out.
00:35From that moment on, no one heard anything from her, and her phone was already turned off.
00:41Diana was also interviewed by a television channel where she appeared very worried about her mother and said that it
00:47was not normal for her to disappear like that.
00:49Although at first, the daughter filed an official missing person report with the police, the strange circumstances of the case
00:57made the investigation take a different direction.
01:00On Wednesday, September 5th, about 40 kilometers away from Montejo, a man named Nuno Casero, the owner of a piece
01:10of farmland in the Pegos area, went to inspect his land.
01:14Accompanied by officers from the National Republican Guard of Caña.
01:19The reason for the visit was to assess the damage caused by a small grass fire that the local firefighters
01:25had extinguished earlier that morning.
01:28And as they entered the area and inspected a patch of burned brush,
01:33the authorities' flashlights came across the remains of a completely charred human body.
01:41Hours later, forensic analysis confirmed that the remains belonged to Amelia Fialio.
01:48After the discovery of the body on September 5th, the judicial police took only 36 hours to get to the
01:54truth.
01:55A thorough search of the Fialio residence was enough to find sufficient evidence against Diana and Yuri.
02:03First of all, the officers found several pieces of clothing belonging to the couple that gave off a strong smell
02:10of bleach,
02:11making them think that this was due to a hasty attempt to remove traces of blood.
02:17And as if that wasn't enough, the couple's internet history showed that one of them had searched whether a turned
02:25-off device could be located.
02:28In light of this evidence, the judicial police proceeded with the formal arrest of the couple on Friday, September 7th,
02:342018.
02:35And it was at that moment, under intense pressure, that Yuri Mata completely broke down and confessed everything.
02:43The murderous motive had been money.
02:46Neither Yuri nor Diana were willing to work.
02:48During the last few years, the couple had been living off Amelia's money,
02:52who, despite the tensions, refused to completely cut off contact with her daughter.
02:57Now, what did they step of the novel to help convey that to the police officer?
02:57Let me know.
02:58I am the only one.
02:58I am the only one.
