Dolores Vázquez's story represents one of the most significant miscarriages of justice in Spain, illustrating the rampant homophobia, particularly lesbophobia, that characterized early 21st-century Spanish society.

In 2000, Dolores "Loli" Vázquez was wrongfully imprisoned for nearly two years, accused solely because of her sexuality in a society rife with discrimination.

On the evening of October 9, 1999, in Mijas, a coastal town in southern Spain, 19-year-old Rocío Wanninkhof left her boyfriend's home, intending to return to her mother's house for a quick shower before heading out to a carnival. Tragically, Rocío never arrived home.

In the half-hour it should have taken her, she was brutally murdered. Her body was found almost a month later, and she was laid to rest on November 20, 1999. This case became one of Spain's most infamous murder investigations, capturing national attention and prompting the Guardia Civil to pursue a resolution at all costs, leading to a complex and sensationalized narrative.
