The Exorcism of Villa Urquiza: They Killed Their Father to Save Him

The Exorcism of Villa Urquiza: They Killed Their Father to Save Him

Five police officers were needed to restrain one young woman, found inside an apartment where her father had been dead for two days-and his right ear was missing. What led two daughters to believe that killing their father was an act of salvation?

In this episode, we delve into the chilling case known in Argentina as the Satanic Sisters, exploring how a family's decades-long secret, a community's turn to the supernatural, and a system that looked the other way culminated in a shocking homicide. We uncover the pattern of events that no one stopped.

Case: The Satanic Sisters
Victim: Juan Carlos Vázquez
Location: Villa Urquiza, Buenos Aires
Date: March 27, 2000
Cause of Death: Wound to the carotid artery

- Juan Carlos Vázquez was 50 years old, a widower, and ran a hardware store in Villa Pueyrredón.
- His older daughter, Gabriela Vázquez, was expelled from university in 1999 and became increasingly withdrawn.
- His younger daughter, Silvina Vázquez, was still enrolled in an Economics program but was found continuing a ritual at the crime scene.
- Both daughters attended Transmutar, an esoteric center focused on energy work and spiritual transmutation.
- Forty days before his death, Juan Carlos Vázquez learned that the woman he believed was his sister was his biological mother, a product of abuse.
