She was only 18 years old.

...taken by the cult.

The parents, desperate with the disappearance...

They could not see or speak to her.

Patricia Aguilar...

She was recruited online.

A dangerous cult...

...practice sexual magic.

Stuck in a cult.

548 DAYS: CAPTURED BY A CULT

ELCHE, SPAIN

Christmas is a very special time for us.

CHAPTER 1 A FLOWER

So small and it's already tearing the paper.

The family always gets together at Christmas

We sing, we dance, we give presents...

It is a very happy time.

Opens underneath.

But Christmas 2017 was very different.

PATRICIA'S MOTHER

We have a bakery.

And Christmas is a very important time.

That's when we have more customers and get more profit

PATRICIA'S FATHER

This week is the most important of the year for us.

So I didn't want to leave the money at home for a long time.

On Sunday, I decided to take it to the bank on Monday.

I opened the wardrobe where we hid the money.

And when I got the bag of money,

it was empty.

It only had loose change.

It didn't make sense. It must have been six or seven thousand euros.

Damn, we were ripped off. The money is gone.

The door had not been broken into.

So we thought that someone might have gotten into the house with Patricia.

Since she wasn't home, we called her to ask what happened.

PHOTOS OF PATRICIA

Patricia is my eldest daughter.

She had just turned 18.

Best wishes! Many years of life!

She was a normal girl.

Well, normal like any teenager.

MY DRAWINGS

WORK - MUSIC - MY PHOTOS

Patricia likes black clothes,

cartoons, anime, and heavy metal.

Rammstein was her favorite band.

That was Patricia's world.

MY DRAWINGS

She took a drawing class at school.

And she always said she had a lot of homework.

She spent a lot of time locked in her room.

She was very shy, and didn't have many friends.

She went out very little. And that made me really worried.

When she told me she was going to a birthday party,

I was very happy.

Extremely.

I wanted her to get out of the house and make friends.

- LET'S SPEND THE NIGHT AT ALEX'S HOUSE. - DID YOU GET WARM CLOTHES?

I GOT MY MICKEY PJS.

OK, BE CAREFUL. WHEN WILL YOU COME BACK?

TOMORROW, xD.

She never came back.

A DAY WITHOUT PATRICIA

YESTERDAY: ROSA: PATRICIA, WHERE ARE YOU?

TODAY: ROSA: PATRI, CALL ME.

ROSA: WE ARE CONCERNED. CALL US, PLEASE.

We kept calling and texting.

But Patricia didn't answer.

I decided to call the police because she didn't show up,

and we couldn't talk to her.

Also, the money was gone.

We were pretty confused.

The police tried to calm us down. They said these things happen,

that she must be enjoying herself and would be back soon.

The police didn't know her,

I said I was sure that was not the case.

It was almost night, and the anguish only increased.

At that point, I didn't care about the money.

I was sure something had happened to Patricia.

I even thought she might be in a ditch. I thought of everything.

We couldn't sleep that night. It was horrible.

Horrible. The worst night.

Our worst fears were confirmed when I received a message.

"I'll be fine. I'll be in touch in a few hours."

It was a huge shock.

I even thought it wasn't Patricia.

Someone else wrote that.

She never spoke like that to us.

She never said, "I'll be in touch."

So I thought someone had her cell phone and money.

I couldn't just sit around and wait, so I went into Patricia's room.

I looked everywhere.

Inside each box, in games, in books,

in notebooks. I looked at the pillow, under the bed and under the mattress.

I looked behind the paintings, inside the stuffed animals. Everywhere!

I looked everywhere possible.

Even on the chandelier.

It became an obsession, she searched every corner.

And found everything.

I started to see things that were already there, but that I hadn't seen before.

BUDDHISM - BAHA'I FAITH - GNOTICISM
TAOISM - CHEONDOISM - HINDUISM

Esoteric symbols, religious symbols, prayers...

KUNDALINI: INTERNAL ENERGY THAT RUNS...

…IT'S THE VIBRATION……OUR INNER WORLDS…

It was scary finding all those things.

NETZACH AND HOD ANGELS!

GEBURAEL! TIPHERET!!

BAPTISM RITUAL - FOOTWASHING RITUAL - WEDDING RITUAL - FUNERAL RITUAL

When I read "funeral ritual",

I got goosebumps. It was...

It was too much for me. I was scared, terrified.

Patricia wrote all that. Instructions on how to make a trip,

which phones to use and which not,

what arcane objects to buy.

It was very difficult to accept all that.

When I found a notebook written: "Procedures for getting married in Peru",

along with a list of required documents,

such as birth certificate and declaration of marital status,

I asked Alberto: "Really? Did she run away to get married in Peru?"

I was very confused. And things just got complicated.

Finding photos of unknown women only increased my anxiety.

That's when I started to think there might be a sect behind it.

TWO DAYS WITHOUT PATRICIA

THROUGH THIS NOTICE THE DISAPPEARANCE OF PATRICIA AGUILAR

We told our concerns to the police,

but they reassured us, because if she left the Schengen Area,

an alert would be triggered, and we would know.

They also said that it could not be a cult,

because Patricia was of legal age, and free to do whatever she wanted.

It was the first time of many that we heard this.

It was always the same: "Your daughter is of legal age."

And?

She turned 18 two weeks ago.

Fifteen days ago, she was a minor.

ELCHE POLICE OFFICE, ALICANTE

I wanted to send everyone to hell.

You feel helpless when you know something is wrong.

NATIONAL POLICE OFFICE

I don't understand how they could leave two desperate parents like us

being treated like this, we are left completely helpless.

The police ended up registering the complaint, and we went home to wait.

THREE DAYS WITHOUT PATRICIA FOUR DAYS WITHOUT PATRICIA

We haven't had any news. Days passed, and nothing.

We decided to take action and go public.

Maybe that way we would have more results than with the police.

MISSING SINCE JANUARY 7, 2017 IN ELCHE, ALICANTE

We spoke with SOS Desaparecidos, which was very important.

They created a plan for us: create social networks,

put up posters all over the city...

It was very important to give more visibility to the case.

URGENT

When the news spread, the public started to support us.

Many people helped us by placing posters in Elche.

In the whole city.

We're still looking for her. And we're only going to stop if she's okay.

Thanks again for staying by our side.

This is just the beginning. And they won't shut us up.

We are all Patricia. Thanks.

We had to learn how to use social media.

We had to look for her.

since she was still missing, and we had nowhere else to start.

NEW TAB

But we needed help, because I don't know anything about the Internet.

I didn't have Facebook or Instagram. She didn't even know what they were.

I didn't use social media. I don't know how to use the Internet.

FIRST FROM PATRICIA

I was in my shop in Benidorm when I got a message.

NOELIA, WE DON'T KNOW WHERE TO START. WE NEED HELP. CAN YOU?

SEARCH MESSAGES

PAT, I WILL KEEP MESSAGING AND LOOKING FOR YOU. HE CALLS ME.

I had a special relationship with Patricia.

We were close. We consider ourselves cousins, even though I'm her mother's cousin.

But, more than cousins, we are friends, confidants.

I always thought we told each other everything, but that wasn't true.

So I decided to close my shop and go to Elche.

There were many documents in Patricia's room.

We found the printed conversations

that she had with someone who used the name "G".

They sent lists of books on black magic and esotericism.

And a word often repeated in the notes caught my attention:

"gnose".

I researched what it was and found several blogs and countless videos and websites

about that belief system.

The concept of gnosis is the search for knowledge, for truth.

However, in the 1950s,

numerous groups appeared that claimed to know the future.

LEARN MORE

VIRUS

APOCALYPSE

WORLD HUNGER INCREASES

They claim to know what you need to do to be saved.

AWAKENING YOUR SELF-KNOWLEDGE IS THE ONLY WAY

JOIN THE GROUP

Gnostics believe that, through sexual magic,

you can atone and destroy your innately corrupt self.

THEY AWAKEN THE SACRED FIRE AND BECOME GODS.

The problem is that, in order to be this new "me", you need to get away from

your old belief system, your family.

Many years of life!

You must cut ties with those who have different beliefs,

because now you know the truth.

The others are the enemy, they are wrong and doomed.

When we read all this, these materials,

we thought we didn't know Patricia, that she had a double life,

and that she got involved with something that made her lose herself.

LIST OF BLOCKED CONTACTS

It was a totally different world. It was very difficult

And we had a long way to go.

14 DAYS WITHOUT PATRICIA

The next few days were horrible. No word from Patricia.

Until the night my phone vibrated.

HI, NOELIA. I'M FINE, DON'T WORRY ABOUT ME.

WHY DID YOU LEAVE?

I AM HAPPY. I'M NOT GOING BACK YET.

IF YOU'RE FINE, WHY DON'T YOU SAY WHERE YOU ARE?

I'M IN PITESTI.

I LOVE YOU SO MUCH.

Patricia sent a photo and said she was fine.

She said she was in Pitesti. I had no idea where it was.

GOOGLE SEARCH

IMAGES

But Pitesti is in Romania.

And the police said she couldn't leave the country without us knowing.

ROMANIA

HOW DO I KNOW I CALLED PATRICIA?

Hi Noelia. I'm fine, don't worry about me.

I am happy. I'm not going back yet. I'm in Romania, in Pitesti.

JANUARY 24, 2017 COUSIN, I LOVE YOU SO MUCH. KISSES.

That day, it was -6ºC in Pitesti.

In the photo, Patricia was wearing a T-shirt, without a sweater.

It is clear that Patricia was not in Romania at that time.

Claro 4G informs...

When I called her, I got a message saying:

"Claro4G. This phone is turned off or out of service area."

CLARO TELEPHONE OPERATOR

WE OPERATE IN 18 LATIN AMERICAN COUNTRIES

Claro operates in Latin America.

If Patricia had not left the country, as the police claimed,

how could her cell phone come out?

Patri, honey, I don't understand. Where are you? Why did you leave?

Like I said, I'm fine. I'm not missing, I just left.

I'm with my boyfriend traveling through Europe with a gypsy caravan.

You don't deceive me. I know you are not in Romania.

Noelia, you're already pissing me off. Go fuck yourself, leave me alone!

Please Patri. Just tell me why you left. That's all.

If I don't understand, I won't stop looking for you, Patri.

19 DAYS WITHOUT PATRICIA

ZERO DAYS WITHOUT PATRICIA

The temperature this week will not vary much.

The maximum will reach 11 ºC, and the minimum...

MADRID, SPAIN

PATRICIA, PLEASE CALL ME.

MONEY DOESN'T MATTER.

CALL US, DAUGHTER.

Hi, it's Patri. Leave your message at the tone.

Patricia, I'm begging you. Don't do this to your mother.

I need to talk to you. Call me please.

I CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT YOU, LOVE.

I WANT YOU.

Tell me if you're okay. I know iyour online.

Please, I beg you.

I WANT TO GIVE MYSELF TO YOU.

YOU ARE MY BLESSING, LOVE.

JUST THINKING THAT SOON I WILL BE IN YOUR ARMS...

FIRST GLORY

Pick me up if you hear that. We want to talk. We are worried.

I'm really sorry you're not here. But I love you so much, okay?

Hope all is well. I love you cousin.

THEY DON'T STOP CALLING ME. WHAT DO I DO?

DOES NOT ANSWER.

WRITE LIKE THIS:

"I'LL BE FINE. I'LL BE IN TOUCH IN A FEW HOURS."

All I want now is to be with you.

I want to see you, touch you, be with you.

I already consider you my husband.

And I consider myself your wife. And I want her to know

that I want to stay with you forever.

Whatever the cost.

LIMA, PERU

We talked for two years online, and I finally met him.

At that moment, all my fears and worries disappeared.

We kissed.

It was beautiful.

With the money I took from Spain,

we rent a small apartment. That's where I met Mayi and Paola.

I was surprised by the warm welcome.

They hugged me, they were happy to meet me.

It felt like we'd known each other forever. As if we were sisters.

I had a new family.

JUST THINKING THAT SOON I WILL BE IN YOUR ARMS...

NOVEMBER 21, 2016

PAOLA IS NOT PERFECT, BUT DOESN'T NEED TO BE GUARDED.

LOVE HOW MANY WIVES WILL YOU HAVE?

IT WILL BE THREE.

FOR NOW.

My name is Maryori Garcia Valverde.

"G"'S WIFE

YOU WILL WATCH MAYI.

But they usually call me Mayita or Mayi.

When I first saw her, she was just a child.

She looked so innocent.

MAYI NEEDS TO HAVE FAITH, BUT SHE IS GOOD.

I GOT IT, LOVE.

Her hair was long and beautiful.

She was very white.

So I was intimidated. She was also very young.

YOU WILL WATCH THEM.

ALL THE TIME. EVERYTHING THEY DO.

How can I get used to so many other young women?

Because there would be more. And all young, as far as I knew.

DON'T LET THEM MAKE SILLY MISTAKES.

I wasn't perfect. They said I needed to get better.

I couldn't have inflated ego or jealousy.

AVOID TEMPTATION.

So I asked him, "Why aren't there women our age?"

"No, at that age, the personality is already formed.

And they're already married. So they can't work here.

They are not suitable for psychological work, nor for sexual work.

It is difficult to change them.

Change their personality."

NOW YOU KNOW HOW TIRED MY LIFE IS.

I PROMISE I WILL BE YOUR MOST OBEDIENT WIFE, LOVE.

Before leaving Spain, I already knew that I was going to live with his other wives.

But I didn't know he had kids.

Paola had a daughter. Mayi had two girls and a boy.

There were eight people in total.

There were a lot of people in a small apartment.

And, to make matters worse, there was no privacy during sex,

that happened every day.

Before him, I had never been intimate with anyone.

YOU MAKE ME SEE COLORFUL STARS.

I was 16 when we started talking.

YOU ARE SO COOL AND CUTE.

YOU ARE A BLESSING OF A WOMAN.

I had few friends. I felt alone.

I spent a lot of time on the Internet.

I AM A SPECIALIST IN THE OCCULT.

I was very interested in esotericism.

And I found someone to teach me what I wanted.

MARRYING IS THE WAY TO SALVATION.

He didn't talk about sex at first. First, we talk about spirituality.

And, little by little, he started talking about sex.

THE AURA IS LINKED TO THE BODY. YOU CAN USE NUDITY BECAUSE SEX IS SACRED.

And since he was far away, I didn't worry about that.

I WANT TO SEE YOU BETTER. SEND ME SOME PHOTOS.

Then he started asking for pictures of me in my underwear. It was more difficult.

I DON'T KNOW IF I CAN.

Then he asked me for nude photos.

I LOVE HOW MUCH YOU STILL LOOK LIKE A CHILD.

I WANT YOUR PELVIS, YOUR BIG AND LITTLE LIPS.

YOU ARE EVOLVING, IT IS AN INTERNAL PROCESS. TRUST ME.

I AM ALWAYS RIGHT.

I KNOW, LOVE

And that subtly led me to practice alchemy, sexual magic,

and I ended up accepting his other two wives.

He told us that male nature, biologically,

It is made to have several women.

But women are different. The woman is a temple.

And they should have only one husband.

He called sex "alchemy." And alchemy consisted of,

during the sexual act, the man helps the woman to evolve spiritually.

Man evolves spiritually alone, but woman needed man.

PATRI, SEE YOU AT THE WEEKEND!

In order to evolve spiritually, we had to have sex with him every day.

Be submissive, obedient, respect him and, above all...

"G" CREATED THE "WIVES" GROUP

...we couldn't have ego.

And I believed him.

SEXUALITY IS MAGICAL AND SACRED.

BUT WE MUST LEAVE OUR EGO SIDE TO PROTECT OURSELVES FROM THE APOCALYPSE.

But sex wasn't our biggest concern.

APOCALYPSE

Over time, little by little, he discovered who he really was.

He was the redeeming twin of Jesus Christ.

I AM YOUR G VENGEFUL GOD

He was sent to judge us.

THE GREAT TRIBULATION WILL BEGIN

DO YOU FEAR FOR US?

To destroy everything that exists.

THOSE OF THE WHITE FRATERNITY WILL HAVE PEACE

Most were from the Black Brotherhood, so they wanted to hurt us.

He didn't just come to save us, but all humanity.

The world as we knew it would end. As he was Christ the Redeemer,

he would end the lives of 95% of the world's population

during the Apocalypse.

The Apocalypse is events such as meteorites, tsunamis, earthquakes...

But the most important ones were a pandemic and World War III.

Our mission, as his queens,

was to repopulate the Earth, having as many children as possible.

And sexual alchemy was the key to it all.

Submission and obedience. That's what he expected from a woman.

I didn't care about the sex. My goal was to get pregnant.

I wanted to conceive with him the gods who would save humanity.

But alchemy was not the only ritual we were expected to participate in.

I arrived in Peru as a teenager who had never drunk or smoked.

I had never done any of that.

But one day I had to take ayahuasca.

Ayahuasca is a plant from the Amazon. A root type.

The natives of the Amazon discovered it thousands of years ago.

To this day, shamans still use it.

When he took ayahuasca, he had visions and even made prophecies.

He spoke about what we should do, what was to come.

So he took it to see the future.

We also had to participate in the ayahuasca ritual.

He always had just a little, but he filled my first glass,

which is crazy.

I did as he said and drank it all.

But what scared me the most was him giving ayahuasca to the kids.

The ayahuasca soon took effect.

The room started to spin, it was like an animation movie.

Everything felt like a nightmare.

The kids couldn't stop screaming.

I couldn't stand up.

It felt like someone was manipulating me, like I was a puppet.

He pulled some strings and pulled me closer to him.

And then he told me that the ayahuasca revealed my real name to him.

My name was Silvana. And it meant "born in the wild".

He also told me that I would have a daughter.

It made me really happy.

I would have a daughter.

HOW CAN I GO TO LIVE IN PERU?

ONE OPTION IS TO GET PREGNANT.

I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S THE BEST OPTION.

ITS THE MOST LEGAL.

The problem is that we live in the digital age. It's normal to have an online relationship.

We think that we are safe inside the house, that there is no danger.

The problem is that the danger is real, it exists.

We all run that risk.

And to think that not only makes us more vulnerable.

I never thought my daughter would be recruited into a cult.

I didn't prepare for this. And Patricia hid it very well.

She learned well, was always in touch with him.

She knew how to behave.

YOU WILL BE A MOTHER.

SO WE NEED TO PREPARE.

WE WILL NEED MONEY.

I CALL YOU.

We were totally alienated, we never imagined that.

We were lucky that she left many clues.

NEW EMAIL

And we show Noelia everything so she can look at Patricia's profiles.

In her notes, I found logins and passwords for games and social networks.

Tried some.

One oft-repeated name caught my attention: "Nikaley".

The nickname "Nikaley".

So I typed " nikaley@outlook.es " in the Facebook search bar

and I got a result.

My cousin was Nikaley Thill, an account no one knew she had.

She only used it to talk about esotericism.

Nobody knew. I discovered by chance.

One thing caught my attention.

I noticed a boy on the friends list. I decided to focus on it.

I could see his photo, profile and eyes. He had a defiant look.

Right off the bat, I realized he had added over 3000 girls.

All underage, it seemed.

Then I realized that he might be the one behind it all.

His name was Steven Martinez.

But now was the hardest part: getting in touch with him.

TO GO OUT

I created a fake profile.

One similar to Patricia's.

A 15 year old girl who likes esotericism.

I created a character.

NADIA, WHAT DO YOU LIKE?

Jesus the Savior Twin is my brother. I am the way, judge of the Apocalypse.

No one will be saved without my permission.

His page was full of pictures of girls striking suggestive poses,

holding papers with his name on them.

MESSAGE ME IF YOU WANT TO LIVE WITH ME. WE'RE GOING TO LIVE TOGETHER, BUT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE SEX.

That's when I saw my cousin there, among that pervert's friends.

We've made a lot of progress.

But Noelia had only found one name online. We needed proof.

So I looked through everything in Patricia's room again,

and a paper caught my eye.

It was a medical certificate

for a certain Paola, whom I didn't know.

This document had all her personal data:

name and surname,

identity and CPF number.

So I took the paper

and went to the computer. I was shaking, I could barely type.

I put the name of the hospital that was written there.

When I managed to type, I saw that it was in Lima, Peru.

LIMA, PERU

I called Alberto and said: "We found her.

We found her." I had a paper with the full name

from a person in Lima, Peru, where Patricia was.

That paper would be the key to Patricia's case.

We knew that, with that document, we could identify a person

who was in Peru, find her and ask for an explanation.

So we spoke to the prosecutor and added the details to the complaint.

They listened to us and sent the complaint to Interpol, and then to Peru.

21 DAYS WITHOUT PATRICIA

45 DAYS

Before coming to Peru, when I was at my parents' house,

Steven asked me to make a fake medical certificate for Paola,

but instead of destroying the copy, I put it in the drawer.

And forgot there. Because of this document,

the police called Paola.

This made Steven very nervous.

No, now you have to go there and testify.

My name is Luis Alfonso Capcha Denegri.

I'm from the Missing Persons Division of the Department of Human Trafficking.

MANAGER or Dept. of Criminal Investigation of the Peruvian Police.

PERUVIAN POLICE DIRINCRI HEADQUARTERS

I chose to work for the Missing Persons Division

because my father went to the USA when I was

ten years, and never came back.

It's a despair that never goes away.

It's a scar that will stay forever, it will never heal. And it hurts a lot.

I had to talk to DIRINCRI so Paola didn't have to go.

Steven went with me because I was so nervous.

But Steven was very calm.

That day, we went to put up posters in neighboring cities.

When we were in Márcia, the promoter called and said that Patricia

had gone to DIRINCRI with that man.

We go crazy.

That guy didn't want Paola to testify,

because if she did, the police might start snooping around.

So he decided to stop hiding Patricia.

PATRICIA AGUILAR'S TESTIMONY

It was better for Patricia herself to say: "My parents need to leave me alone.

I'm here because I want to."

IT'S MY WILL, NO ONE IS FORCING ME TO STAY.

We didn't know Steven.

He was a citizen, like any other.

It didn't seem to be a crime.

But Patricia wanted to talk, and he kept interrupting.

He pulled her by the arm, touched her leg, coercing her.

This was not normal. And it increased the suspicion of the police.

That makes us think he was controlling her.

We discovered his real name: Felix Steven Manrique Gomez.

It was something, we got closer to Patricia.

I have all the details we need to report this guy:

first and last name. We got him.

He is not Martínez, as he says on Facebook.

His name is Steven Manrique. Let's file a complaint here in Márcia.

I DO NOT WANT TO ANSWER THIS QUESTION.

We went to the Murcia police station.

They are already investigating. Urgently, as it's the weekend.

They told us to go back to Elche, they were already taking care of it.

Alberto, answer the damn phone.

We need to get back to Elche before Patri finishes testifying.

For some reason, we were asked to go

To Elche police station. We don't quite understand why.

We run like crazy.

Alberto, call me as soon as you can.

Rosa couldn't take it. She held back for a long time.

Now he cried, he couldn't take it anymore.

I sent her a message just now. I'm exhausted, it's now or never.

CONCLUSION: PATRICIA AGUILAR POVEDA IS NOT CONSIDERED A MISSING PERSON.

We couldn't consider it

a crime. She was of age.

SHE IS NOT A VICTIM OF MANIPULATION.

So, in the end,

they were released. And we lost

We missed our chance.

It was a thud.

We let them escape.

After everything we've been through,

they were released. I stayed

I was finished.

In the end, it came down to her being of legal age.

But she is still my girl.

45 DAYS WITHOUT PATRICIA

71 DAYS WITHOUT PATRICIA

Patricia Aguilar's case...

Today is the first time, since the daughter disappeared,

that Rosa came to a TV show...

SOS Desaparecidos suggested a change of strategy.

They suggested looking for media, TV. For they would hear us.

And we could press.

I hope they do something now. Tomorrow may be too late.

They need to act now.

From that moment on, media changed everything.

We are following in Patricia Aguilar's footsteps.

Patricia was recruited into a cult shortly after her 18th birthday.

- Patricia Aguilar - Trapped in a cult.

It was clear to us.

The way to end this guy was to expose him,

taking everything public. The more details the better.

Manrique recruited her at age 16.

Making Steven's identity public was a dangerous move.

It could have two consequences.

He could reject it and say:

"You're giving me trouble. Go home."

Or they could disappear.

Félix Steven Manrique Gémezé

When he saw the news on Peruvian TV, Steven became paranoid.

Crazy, he broke all cell phones and computers with a hammer

not to leave any traces.

At that moment, I was scared. I had never seen him so nervous.

Steven decided to run away with us.

Just left Patricia in Lima.

He left Patricia alone, in the middle of the street.

He left her completely abandoned.

He told me to call the press and sort everything out.

And until then, I would be alone, in the middle of the street.

Patricia, good morning.

Good morning. Thank you for having me and giving me this opportunity.

Is it true that you went to Peru voluntarily and that you are not part of a Gnostic cult?

It's true. I am aware of everything, and I do not belong to any cult...

And your family?

They are worried, begging you to come back.

They think that you are not free to decide anything.

I was very happy to see you again. Now I knew she was alive.

But what did she say?

I want to send a message to my family. I know you're listening.

I don't want to talk to them right now.

I am very angry and resentful of them. I don't want to talk.

That ended my brief moment of happiness.

I had a lot of problems at home.

And I've wanted to leave since I was 14.

My father, for example, never stayed at home and didn't pay attention to my brother.

My mother is addicted to gambling and spends 11 hours a day on the computer.

She told every lie about mom and me...

And that hurt us.

Besides, I was practically raised by my grandmother.

I even called my uncle "dad". They who created me...

We were devastated. In truth.

She is a terrible mother. Never think about the children.

He wouldn't let us cook, go into the kitchen, open the fridge.

I had to eat hidden in the room.

My daughter accused me of gambling. Said I didn't feed her,

that we didn't buy clothes for her.

I had no underwear or panties.

She never wanted to shop or go out.

It was impossible to live there.

That wasn't my daughter. I didn't recognize her.

And now you're harassing me. Lying to the authorities,

for the Spanish media, for everyone.

I just wanted to hold her. And to think she wanted to get away from us

it was something unimaginable.

It hurts a lot to see your daughter like this.

We always got along well, no problems. We gave her everything.

Well, all we could give.

What she said never happened.

But her saying that created a debt. And it really hurt us.

And even those who knew us forever,

started to doubt because he saw my daughter talking on TV.

Even the closest ones.

My own mother-in-law asked me if I had abused her

at any moment.

When she asked that, I thought: "If even my mother-in-law thinks so,

what will others think?"

I still get a lump in my throat when I think about it.

Dad, do you know why I left home? Because you suck!

I want to stay hidden for the rest of my life.

So stop bugging me.

First,

deletes everything from the Internet, all photos, posts, everything.

Second, send me 600 euros. I'll send you my address.

After that, we'll see.

Do you want to know why I was so happy in my birthday photos?

Because I turned 18 and could leave. It was what I wanted most.
