“I asked Mossos: Could my son be in the morgue? They answered me: No, that’s the first thing we looked at”
“I would look for Dani among the beggars for days… I would get closer, thinking it was my son under those blankets,” Peggy recalls. “Fearing to hear that I didn’t want it, I went back to the police station a few days later and asked: Is my son in the morgue? They answered me: “No ma’am, that’s the first thing we look for. Hospitals and morgues are the first thing to look at when a report of loss arrives.‘”.
On September 18, the day before the woman’s birthday, the prophecy came true: Peggy, Dani was confirmed to be the child that appeared in that box. “I only have memory, and I will never remove a photo (from the Mossos d’Esquadra report) of him lying on the floor in the middle of the garbage, as if he were just another piece of garbage.”

Dani brutally died in the early hours of August 30. Investigators pointed to the murder. They tried to recreate his last steps: he was at a friend’s house having a beer with him and another girl. At dawn, she left the apartment because she planned to meet up with another friend. He died on the way.
Mossos took statements from young people who met or met him that night. Dani’s friend, with whom he was drinking beer, stated that the young man left the house at 02:00 and was alone with another girl. But he denies it. The young woman confirms in her statement that she left the house before Dani.
Mossos also highlights the “contradictions and shortcomings” in the testimony of the other young man Dani was with later that morning. She confirms that Dani never came to her apartment and was there with a friend until six in the morning. However, she said that the boy was lying and that Dani asked him, “Uncle, where are you?” He says he left around three in the morning, an hour after he sent a text asking.
Dani Dani sixteen calls that morning. One of them stands out: “His Ecuadorian girlfriend told me she called him and said, ‘I need to talk to you, it’s very urgent,’” Peggy recalls. “He told her to wait a minute, call in a quarter of an hour, but they didn’t speak anymore.” At that time, when Mossos questioned the young woman, she denied it.

Kicks with a stick or stick
The autopsy revealed that Dani had sores all over her body. More than fifteen wounds on the face and body, fractures of the humerus, femur and hip; skull fracture, fracture of one to four ribs, cerebral edema.
The coroner determined that most of these injuries occurred while he was alive. The report states that these “can be produced by a blunt, elongated object with a hard consistency such as a stick or stick” and can be produced “by direct impact.”
Researchers consider two hypotheses: First, Dani was under the influence of alcohol and drugs – toxicological analysis revealed that the teenager had consumed methamphetamine and amphetamine – and entered the container voluntarily (suicide) or accidentally. Another possibility is that someone attacked her and dumped her body. into the trash.
