Overview

  • César Román has altered his account multiple times, most recently describing a struggle that led to an accidental shooting and blaming his uncle for dismembering and burying the body.
  • The Policía Nacional has mobilized scientific, homicide and technical inspection units along with canine teams to conduct the search in Carranque.
  • Investigators are employing 3D drone mapping and georadar scans to locate possible burial sites in terrain affected by years of weather disturbances.
  • Only Heidi Paz’s torso was recovered in 2018 from a warehouse in Madrid’s Usera district, leaving her head and limbs still missing.
  • Heidi’s family, represented by lawyer Alexis Socias, doubts Román’s uncle theory and warns that his shifting stories deepen their suffering.
