The Trail
What El Rastro is about, a series available on Netflix
A detective from the Police get involved in a case that occurred many years ago with the aim of solving it before it is filed due to lack of information and remains unresolved. After a double murder that occurred in 2004, there is very little information about the suspect and it is very far from finding him, but for this you will find the necessary help.
Having a trace of the culprit’s DNA, the detective turns to a geneticist who promises that it will be easy to follow that lead because the genetic information works as a trail that can be followed. With this new impulse, both will carry out the investigation of the case with the hope that it does not end up archived and forgotten in some drawer of the judiciary.
