Overview
- The Guardia Civil confirmed the identification on November 10, 2025 and informed the victim's family.
- A systematic review of missing-person files in May 2024 led officers to seek new familial DNA, with the daughter's sample collected in June after the grandmother had died.
- The National Institute of Toxicology and Forensic Science in Madrid reanalyzed bones preserved since 1995 and verified the match using modern techniques.
- The killing occurred on January 6, 1991 in Barros, where the 24-year-old was stabbed and buried in quicklime in a case known locally as the 'Reyes' crime.
- In 1995 police detained a suspect after his partner reported the crime and circulated a composite image, but the remains were too degraded to identify at the time, and no new legal actions are reported now.
