What happened to No One Saw Us Leave's Leo Saltzman in real life?

Netflix viewers have been bingeing No One Saw Us Leave ever since it dropped on the streaming platform last week.

Fans have been anxious to learn what really happened to Valeria, Leo, Tamara and Isaac after watching the Netflix dramatisation of the family's struggle.

The series follows the real-life story of a mother who desperately pursues her husband, who kidnaps their children and takes them to Europe.

Valeria Goldberg (Tessa Ía) will stop at nothing to get her children back, enlisting a former Mossad agent to help her track down estranged husband Leo Saltzman (Emiliano Zurita).

The story also highlights the clash between two powerful Jewish families in 1960s Mexico, as Valeria faces backlash from her community and Leo is manipulated by his father, influential businessman Samuel Saltzman (Juan Manuel Bernal).

In the end, Leo is forced to return to Mexico and face a fair custody trial against his estranged wife Valeria, following a court ruling in Jerusalem.

Ultimately, he tires of obeying his overbearing father Samuel and condemning Tamara (Marion Siro) and Isaac (Alexander Varela) to a life on the run.

This leads him to finally turn over the children to Valeria, who is finally reunited with their kids after months of searching.

The limited series No One Saw Us Leave is based on Tamara Trottner's 2024 memoir Nadie nos vio partir, in which she recounts her real-life experiences of being kidnapped by her father as his family attempted to keep the children from their mother.

In reality, the children really did reunite with their mother after their father handed them over.

Additionally, we learn through placards that Leo is then separated from their children for around 20 years.

Tamara released her memoir Nadie nos vio partir (No One Saw Us Leave) in 2020.

In 2024, Tamara released her second book Pronunciaré sus nombre (I Will Say Their Names), which tells the story of her maternal grandparents, who fled to Mexico following persecution at the hands of the Nazis and Russians.

While Tamara does not share much about her private life, she is believed to be married, as she was pictured with a ring on her wedding finger next to a man in Sri Lanka earlier in 2025.

Speaking about her memoir in 2022, Tamara told Mexican publication Chilango in 2022: "Today, I always say that I am, not in spite of this story, but thanks to this story I am who I am."

She has also described how "lucky" she feels to have an "awesome mum", suggesting their relationship has remained intact despite the dramatic series of events.

No One Saw Us Leave is available to stream on Netflix now.
