Overview

• Matilde Muñoz, 72, from Palma, has been missing on Lombok since early July after paying for a hotel stay through July 20 near Senggigi.
• Indonesian police have begun procedures to geolocate her mobile phone, a step the Spanish Embassy in Jakarta confirmed to the family.
• Over the weekend, clothing and a backpack with personal effects were found in the hotel’s trash area, and a fragment of a distinctive earring was located in her room.
• Her phone, passport, charger and two newly issued credit cards remain missing, and relatives say a July 6 message claiming she went to Laos does not match her language use.
• No suspects have been named or charged as police still classify the case as a disappearance, while the family cites room mix-ups and prior theft complaints at the hotel and urges interviews, CCTV checks and possible Interpol coordination.
