Overview
- The Provincial Court of Valencia reassigned the case from Investigating Court No. 5 to Sagunt’s Violence Against Women Court after a dispute over jurisdiction.
- The investigation was formally reopened in February 2024 when DNA linked a right femur found during May 2023 demolition at the Port de Sagunt pier to Loli Paul Sesé.
- The principal suspect, Paco, 68, told a newspaper he pushed Loli the night she vanished yet gave contradictory timelines, and there is no police record of the detention he described.
- Of the three men listed as investigated, Ignacio Ll. P., known as Patachula, has died, while the other surviving investigado is Santiago P. R., owner of a searched orchard near Canet.
- Extensive searches of the couple’s home, a filled well, the orchard and a warehouse near the pier failed to locate the rest of the body, as the family denounces delays and rejects a municipal monolith as insufficient.
