Marta del Castillo case: Family seeks answers 17 years after disappearance
Seventeen years after the disappearance of Marta del Castillo in Seville, her mother, Eva Casanueva, continues to seek answers regarding her daughter's whereabouts. Casanueva expressed profound frustration with the judicial process, suggesting the case has been neglected by authorities.
Marta disappeared on January 24, 2009. Investigations led by the Audiencia Provincial de Sevilla determined that she had gone to the apartment of Miguel Carcaño, with whom she had a relationship. The court ruled that a dispute occurred during which Carcaño struck Marta with an ashtray, causing her death.
Carcaño was initially sentenced to 20 years in prison. Judicial findings indicated that the body was subsequently moved and hidden with the assistance of an individual known as 'El Cuco' and at least one other unidentified person. Despite extensive searches in areas including the Guadalquivir River and Alcalá de Guadaíra, Marta's remains have never been located.
