On 21 August 1910, shepherd José Maria Grimaldos sold a few sheep. Afterwards, it is was if the earth had simply gobbled him up... José Maria was gone without a trace. And he hadn't brought any of his meagre possessions. Very suspicious. The people in the village of Tresjuncos immediately start shouting that it was murder and they also have two convenient suspects in mind: Two other shepherds, from a nearbye village. What makes them so suspicious? They were different. Not a good thing to be in rural Spain in 1910, different. These two were…. Anarchists. Speaking up for the rights of the common people. Not keen on religion. So they must be guilty, right?
Or were they….?
This case is still considered one of the biggest legal scandals in Spanish history.
