The TikTok Killer Review 2026 Tv Show Series Cast Crew Online
The TikTok Killer starts in August of 2023, when Esther’s mother Pepa got some cryptic messages from Esther saying that she was leaving to Buenos Aires. But when she showed the messages to Esther’s sister Raquel, Raquel was sure that wasn’t her sending them.
Through interviews with Pepa and Raquel, as well as friends, we hear about Esther’s restless life, how she didn’t live in one place for more than a year, and how her nomadic ways sometimes led her to be in relationships with abusive men. One incident led her to a shelter, where she bonded with two other residents.
But then she met Montilla, and she walked with him around Spain for almost a month. Montilla wasn’t the usual TikToker, though; in his 60s, he had a craggy face, missing teeth and a world weariness that somehow mixed with a positive outlook about his fellow humans. He dove into the history of the places he visited, and his feed became popular because of it. He seemed to be the last person to see Esther alive, which is why he retraced his journey with her, talking about their “relationship” as he went. That relationship shocked Esther’s friends and family, as Montilla was decidedly not her type.
The TikTok Killer doesn’t set out to determine who exactly killed Esther Estepa, whose remains were found almost six months after her disappearance. Montilla is thought to have sexually assaulted and killed her, but he’s still awaiting trial. What the docuseries is looking to show is not only a look into the life and travels of Estepa, but about Montilla’s past and why he was a free man walking the country on his TikTok feed.
Even though he was sentenced to 123 years for the four murders he committed between 1985 and 1987, he only ended up serving 28 years, and we hope the second part of the series explains how that ended up happening. Still, through the videos from his TikTok feed, there seemed to be something a bit off about Montilla, despite his seemingly mild-mannered, almost literary talks he gave. It seemed especially weird when he started talking about an intimate relationship he claimed he had with Esther.
It will be interesting to see what finally got people to dig into Montilla’s past, and how they reacted when they found out who he was.
