Milena Sánchez, a 20-year-old woman, was found lifeless in an apartment in Madrid after sustaining multiple blows. In a nearby room, a man who had hanged himself was discovered. A police witness later suggested Milena’s body might have been mistaken for a doll. Authorities and the judge quickly closed the case, contending that a woman was responsible for Milena’s death. The tragedy has been linked to a sadomasochistic dynamic involving Alfonso, known as Fofi, aged 53. He was described as a man who paid for companionship and sexual encounters with younger women. Official statements indicate Fofi hanged himself after Milena’s death.
Still, a separate report from a detective agency associated with the Madrid 44th court, accessed by Prensa Ibérica’s investigation and the program CASO ABIERTO, questions the final sequence of events. The investigators claim the floor where Milena’s body was found was not the last location in which she was alive, and that she may have been exploited by pimps, prompting calls for a deeper inquiry.
sex and drowning
Milena’s family lawyer objected to the case closure, urging the reexamination of new evidence amid concerns about the police investigation. The prevailing narrative held that Milena died during a sadomasochistic sexual act, a role-play scenario that some describe as two people enacting intimate fantasies. The body was discovered at an apartment on Fray Luis de León street after being found elsewhere earlier that week.
In a follow-up, lawyers and criminologists from the firm B&CH, along with a private detective agency called B2B, allege that the official version does not hold up. They report that Milena’s phone data shows a sequence of events just before ten in the morning on November 22, with the body ultimately located six days later. The timing and location details challenge the initial account.
Data retrieved from Milena’s phone includes messages and interactions with the alleged killer, suggesting that he did not threaten Milena but, according to investigators, behaved differently from the official portrayal and that Milena had declined certain invitations to massage and spa sessions.
hurriedly
Milena’s family lawyer has raised another point yet to be explored: an inscription on the wall of the residence where the body was found. The words were absent in ordinary lighting but reportedly visible under ultraviolet light: Helter Skelter, a phrase associated with a notorious historical case. Some link it to the late 1960s, when Charles Manson’s followers carried out a string of murders, though no handwriting comparison with Fofi’s known alias has been presented publicly.
Police notes mention a wall inscription: Helter Skelter and a reference to the Manson case.
According to the police report, the wall near the television contained an inscription that could be read only with UV light. The phrase Helter Skelter appears in a book about the Manson family crimes, which the report suggests might be a clue. The family’s attorney notes that several victims in this case were associated with Manson’s circle, a detail that was not further analyzed or cross-checked against handwriting from Fofi, Alfonso Barragán, the alleged perpetrator.
sexual abuse
New inquiries also consider that Milena may have suffered sexual abuse at the hands of a well-known Madrid escort operation. The agency reportedly took a significant cut from clients, with Milena yielding 40 percent of payments through electronic transfers like Bizum. The system left little trace of Milena’s activities. Detectives believe this dynamic may predate Milena’s death and reflect an attempt to escape control by pimps. Milena had been living with her partner, Fabián, an occasional DJ, since August. He allegedly helped coordinate Milena’s encounters with pimps, a situation some colleagues describe as problematic. A partner left a note in Milena’s funeral box on the day of the burial, a detail investigators have not fully explained.
Other sugar daddies
The official narrative remains that Fofi, among the so-called sugar daddies who paid for Milena’s services, strangled her during sadomasochistic acts, later taking his own life after falling gravely ill. Milena’s family lawyer is calling for a broader examination of other clients involved with the escort network and the agency owners who may have influenced the circumstances surrounding her death.
The final whereabouts of Milena’s phone, found on a central Madrid street, is viewed as a critical clue by investigators. A relative of the accused killer who resided on the same street is said to have visited Fofi’s home on November 26 and spent two hours there with a friend, only to encounter a locked door and erotic photographs on the wall. The relative reportedly remarked that Milena appeared as a nude doll when the door opened, and cautioned against entering, noting the bloodstains and the unsettling images present in the apartment.
