In today’s world, almost everything is filmed and shared online, often accepted as the absolute truth. Yet more often than not, what appears on the screen is far from reality. Drawing from such depths, Netflix brings forward a true crime story in which social media plays a crucial role. The TikTok Killer is a spine-chilling story of a shocking disappearance traced through fleeting posts. 

At the heart of this haunting documentary, there is a story that shook a nation, and here is everything about The TikTok Killer before it shakes up Netflix.

The TikTok Killer is yet another haunting true-crime story brought to you by Netflix, focusing on the disappearance of Esther Estepa in 2023. The 42-year-old woman went missing during a trip after meeting Jose Jurado Montilla, a social media creator whose content revolved around heartfelt messages involving his travels. This left her family with nothing but a digital footprint to find her. 

Messages, videos, and other digital traces found on Montilla’s social media accounts, which continued to be shared even after her disappearance, became crucial pieces as to what may have happened to the woman. A clip from a Netflix documentary, one in which Esther Estepa’s sister recalled receiving an odd message that she did not believe to be from her sister, has already sharply set the tone around the documentary.
