In August 2023, trash collectors working at a garbage dump in Thailand discovered a fertilizer bag filled with dismembered human remains. The body parts came from an island that’s popular with tourists—Koh Phan-Ngan. Investigators soon connected this murder to a YouTube star who’s also a member of a famous Spanish acting family, which resulted in the case being plastered all over the headlines.
