On January 24, 2009, Marta del Castillo Casanueva (born July 19, 1991), a Spanish high school student, disappeared and was presumably murdered in Seville, Andalusia. Del Castillo's disappearance was considered a case that "impacted Spanish society" and received significant coverage by the Spanish media.[1]
Del Castillo's ex-boyfriend, Miguel Carcaño Delgado, emerged as a prime suspect in her disappearance. At various times he has successively stated that her body was in different areas, such as the Guadalquivir River, and giving different accounts of her murder.[2] Despite extensive searches, and Carcaño's conviction in 2011, her body has never been found.
