Summary
They’re known as the bebés robados, or “stolen babies”–children stolen at birth from their mothers and sold to wealthy families around Spain. For decades, European reporters and activists have tried to penetrate the secretive networks responsible for the crimes, typically with little success.
Until now. In The Lost, veteran journalists Matteo Fagotto and Matilde Gattoni investigate the story of a woman named Ana Belén Pintado, a middle-aged woman from a small village in Central Spain. At the age of 40, Ana Belén discovered her birth parents were not who she thought they were, and soon, she had embarked on a quest to discover who she really was. It was a quest that would bring her from a small town in the Spanish countryside to the halls of the powerful Catholic church–and ultimately, to the courts. The Lost is an intimate, shocking tale of justice mislaid, of family and blood, and of the lengths we’ll go to make sense of our pasts.

A dark chapter in Europe's history
I couldn't believe such things could happen in a European country. This is a story worth listening to, especially considering how Europe likes to lecture the world about democracy and stuff.

An extraordinary scandal exposed
This unbelievable story of stolen children has been investigated with extraordinary determination, passion and empathy. The narrative unfolds gradually, painting a picture of the environment in which the events occurred. The listener benefits from listening to the two investigators themselves tell this extraordinary story, supplemented by some of their original recordings. The soundscape and music puts the listener into the heart of the story and is pulled along to the learn the fate of the individuals presented to us. It’s an unforgettable story beautifully told.
