This episode's case is a little different to the kind we normally cover.

(Intrigued?)

The birth of your daughter is probably the happiest time in your life, right? Well this was the case for Luz Cuevas and Pedro Vera, until tragedy struck just 10 days later - a house fire that started in their daughter Delimar's bedroom, quickly claiming her life!

Fast forward 6 years, and Luz sees a child that looks exactly like her supposedly deceased daughter at a family birthday party. How can that be?

Be prepared for twists and turns and what the fuck moments in this case!
