It happened in 2017, but Netflix has brought those fiery memories back to the present. The body on fire is sweeping the streaming platform thanks to Úrsula Corberó and Quim Gutiérrezwho have put a face to two faces that many had forgotten. That of Rosa Peral and that of Albert López, accused and convicted of perpetrating the so-called Urban Police crime that ended the life of Pedro Rodríguez, her partner. The first is serving a prison sentence that amounts to 25 years, while the second stays in the score. Added to this is compensation of 885.000 euros to the relatives of the deceased. And when the penal storm seems to clear and the prison begins to be a memory, another decade of supervised release will take effect.
The story is one of those that remain in the black pages of national criminology. Those that are morbid for the curious and chilling for those who know, those that have everything. A love trianglea murder bathed in fire, police officers involved. Love and infidelity. This accumulation of ingredients made a audiovisual and almost cinematographic interest in telling the story of said crime.
As a result of this, history has acquired an international character and the figures of those involved have come to the fore with that mixture of fame and closeness that has made many forget the brutality of what happened. But not to all. Okdiary has collected the opinion of an expert in criminal psychology who has been forceful with Peral’s mental situation and who pursues the inconclusive clues that conclude in a single front: She is a psychopath.
“She is a built-in psychopath”
Is about Oscar Tarruellaauthor of Diary of a Homicide Agent. “Rosa Peral was a narcissistic psychopath. “She was a liar, manipulator and used her physical gifts.”, details the expert. It doesn’t stop there. “But this is something that goes beyond sexual. The psychopath detects the victim’s profile very well and drags in not only the victim, but also third parties. As long as the psychopath is perfected, he drags any profile “, he continues, making López’s involvement in the murder understandable. It is a kind of deadly magnetism.
According to the media, Tarruella, who is also a judicial expert, makes it easy to understand Peral’s profile and puts his finger on psychoanalysis. “Rosa Peral was a psychopath before being a police officer. Probably, she must have been manipulative as a child. Although it is true that these criminals do not always have a dramatic childhood.”, says. Aware that this statement may contain a contradiction, if not, at least, a paradox, he details: “The brain of a child, until the juvenile stage, is maturing. In a subject who has a psychopathic component, key factors intervene in the DNA during his life, such as marginalization or abuse, whether of his person or of third parties..

What kind of psychopath would he be? Tarruella has the answer. “An integrated psychopath, that is, a psychopath who appears normal but who lives among us without arousing suspicion: she is attractive, enjoys magnetism… and presents a certain Machiavellianism: the end justifies the means”, he explains, emphasizing that psychopathy doesn’t necessarily eliminate brilliance. “They are the closest thing to an alpha predator in the wild. They are not idiots, they do not take a person like them as a victim. In the case of Rosa, she uses a very common element in the psychopathic effect: triangulation. It can be love-related, work-related or whatever in order to use certain people,” he argues.
That is to say, “They are people lacking empathy and have a very emotional mind”whose brain is “different” and is in “permanent search for the dopamine rush” due to the “atrophy in the firing of neuronal connections.” All this, according to Tarruella, would be mixed with a chameleon-like ability to camouflage itself in the eyes of society. It was not going to be different with the media explosion that the case has experienced through Netflix productions. “Their objective is clear: an image wash that continues to reinforce their version”, says the expert about the murderer, who continues to consider herself innocent. “In The Tapes of Rosa Peral she tries to turn everything around, something typical of a psychopath. When he is discovered and cornered, he will never show remorse.”, he concludes.
