Phone in ‘airplane mode’

Meanwhile, the afternoon was driving by at Martin’s house. “She’s going to be with a friend or going for a walk,” Adrian recalls thinking at home, “she hasn’t been doing well lately.”

His mother passed away about a month and a half ago.. “Martin was very helpful and very close to him.” His departure destabilized him a bit, “He had thought of going to India but didn’t step in. He is very attached to nature. He doesn’t like capitalism, he doesn’t like anything that isn’t human… “Everything is so robotic today,” his brother remembers saying.

They tried to reach him by phone but could not reach him. Martin had put his cell phone on ‘airplane mode’ as soon as he passed the door. Most of the time he did this so that he could “be with her, so that they wouldn’t bother him”. I’m not surprised

It was night and the young man did not come home; “We went looking for him,” Adrian recalls, “but we remained calm. I’m sure he would come back as before.” They agreed on a margin time at home, one day: “Seeing that the weather was very bad and nothing was being pulled, We went to report on Sunday“.

“Currently, police are looking for one bather and two missing persons, Martin, until proven to be the bather himself.”

The police gathered all the information at the police station: “My brother left the house before lunch yesterday. He has not returned and we do not know where he is. He is 23 years old, 1’80 cm tall, thin skinned, long hair and goatee. He was wearing red pants and a dark gray sweatshirt when he disappeared. and a few blue and yellow shoes.” They returned home uneasy. That same afternoon, a National Police patrol rang their doorbell: Martin could have been at sea.

A swimmer is missing they told us. Currently, the police are looking for the swimmer and his brother. They were two until proven otherwise”, plays Adrian, “but… they also said, probably, the swimmer was my brother because there were no complaints anymore“. They began raids intermittently, as they were marked by a violent storm.

His sweatshirt and sneakers

One of the must-beat spots was centered in the Cueto area, half an hour from the house. where the witness claimed to have seen a young man swimming. A few days later—volunteers from different parts of the map, Adrian’s friends and followers— They found a sweatshirt and sneakers. “They were his” confirms his brother. They were in a hard-to-reach, rocky area. “With this, we confirmed that my brother was taking a bath there,” laments Adrian. ” His shoes were untied, so he took off his clothes, left them on a rock, and went to wash.“. The cell phone did not appear.

Police combined two disappearances before finding: “What do they think, 99%, Martin is swimming, He didn’t see the danger, and it was already too late for him to get out…” his brother recounts, “but they also confirm that they’ve seen rarer cases. People who show up after 8 or 9 yearsThe last case in the Canary Islands recently, one of the cops handling the case told me”.

The land raids are over. “What is planned but not yet resumed is exploration by sea.‘, complains Adrian, his family – his father, his sister – awaiting the arrival of the boat, the drones and the divers – he promised – who can find him if Martin is in the water.

“I think my brother may have swallowed it too. sea ​​in 99% of the possibilities, but I think the other 1% is too…in the option that it’s not the person swimming,” he says. “In any case, until we see what there is to see, in or out of the sea, Only my brother Martin knows what happened.”

Despite being one of the central hypotheses, The young man’s family does not see suicide as an option. “It would be weird. If it’s my brother, the witness sees him for about twenty minutes. If we do know one thing, it’s that it floats quietly. He didn’t jump off a cliff. They tried to explain, but my brother did not hear or listen. It was swimming calmly, it was fine.”

The last time was in Asturias, a few weeks before it disappeared. “He went five days without a word, without clothes, without food, and then he came back. Martin is omnipotent.. It may even have reached India. Actually, sneakers before we found the sweatshirt. his friends really thought he could‘, says Adrian.
