A bank account in his name, new, not the one he had when he disappeared. As CASO ABIERTO discovered, it was opened in Gandía two years before the woman’s trace disappeared. Even though he’s lost, he’s the one with all the control, but he’s not the only one. There’s another headline with him, or whoever claims to be him.
is called Cristina García and disappeared on November 5, 2013. He was 33 years old and had two daughters. At that time, I was watching the National Team’s matches with more pleasure than anyone else. Go out, come in, go to the park, eat something on the terrace, be with your girls. He had a lot of character, but he also had a lot of goodness. Its trace disappeared without farewells. Without warning, without more. Nobody saw him again. He stopped being there. They searched tirelessly for ten years. Without consequences. By June 2023, the shock came when Prensa Ibérica’s events and investigation portal CASO ABIERTO exclusively announced due to legal papers: Cristina or someone on her behalf had been receiving financial aid for years.
“When we went to make the death declaration they said it couldn’t be done because They found a bank account in my mother’s nameSomeone opened it in 2015 and received grant money until April 2023,” his daughter Alba told this outlet: Six months have passed since then. The discovery didn’t change anything. Cristina still isn’t there.
“There are no leads, just a phone call from the police at first and not much else,” her daughter laments. A bank account and a subsidy are important data, and they believed that ten years later would be enough to find answers. “It didn’t happen that way.” Once the search was consolidated, OPEN CASE was once again able to locate the account in question. Created 8 years ago. Cristina has a 50% stake. It remains open and active even though it currently has no balance And? The office where this new account is opened is located in Gandía. In the city where Cristina disappeared.
“In Gandía?” Eldest daughter Alba is surprised. “My mother, or someone in my mother’s name, creates an account while she is missing and reports her missing… and no one finds out, and it happens in the same place she disappeared,” he laments. The operation was also performed with an expired DNI. Cristina García has not renewed her DNI since 2007. Although he disappeared in 2013, he could not be defeated despite being present in the lives of his loved ones in recent years. “How is it possible to open a bank account and claim a subsidy when you are missing an expired DNI, which should have triggered the alert?”
Cristina’s family is shocked again. “My mother is with someone else“?” cries Alba, “We need them to investigate who he is, this could be the key to knowing what he is and where he is.”
10 years ago
November 4, 2013. Cristina goes to her mother-in-law’s house. Daughters Alba and Clara spent the afternoon there. They had finished dinner when he arrived. Cristina is not having her best momentSo it was agreed – more or less – that the little ones slept there and that he was the one who went to pick them up from school the next day. “We were waiting for my mom and she never showed up,” her oldest daughter told OPEN CASE. He would receive the worst news on November 5: my mother is not there.
“My sister was 7 and I was 9… It hurts, Missing your mother hurts so muchBut there were things we didn’t know at that time.” The family decided to wait a few days to file a complaint. “My mother’s condition was not good, we waited to see if she would get angry, so she would leave. There was a little argument between my mother and my grandmother the other night. Alba recalled in this newspaper a few months ago that my mother asked us to go home with her. Until there came a point when he couldn’t go any further: “‘Hey, have you talked to Cristina?’ ‘No’. The alarm went off for my aunts and they eventually went to the police station to notify the police.“.
Cristina García is 33 years old. Dark, thin. She wrote an agent’s statement. I was going through a difficult time, one week off The company he worked for in recent years: Dulcesol. He had been sad, depressed, and on medication since his father’s death a few months ago. The last time they see her, she is “arguing” with her mother-in-law. All that’s left is to go pick up their daughter from school. They don’t see him again.
The agents wrote everything down in detail, and the investigation began. Warning signs, dissemination of photos, media and many testimonies. Few people attended, none allowing the police to reconstruct what might have happened. Search exhausted. “Overnight the police stopped reporting to us,” says the eldest daughter. “They learned to live with it,” Alba complained in this environment. No answers, no clues, no movement. Cristina wasn’t there, wasn’t going to be there. For the family, the search never stopped, “for the police, the case was kept in a drawer.”
After 10 years: grant
Silence prevailed. “We stood out with the love of family, we had to survive…”. Until, ten years later, some legal paperwork flashed a flash of light.. They decided to make the woman’s obituary, as this outlet announced in June 2023 (this can be done after ten years have passed since the disappearance). Everyone in the house was still calling and waiting, but they had to do this legal procedure. “We got an apartment because of my grandparents, and my sister and I tried to get the paperwork sorted. getting money from my mother. In order to sell the flat, we had to declare him dead, 10 years had passed, the case was closed…” They went to the police. “When we got there, there was a judge and after asking a few questions, They told us we couldn’t sign that paper. because they found a bank account in my mother’s name and she was receiving aid until April.
The information led to a new police investigation. Stagnant until now. “There’s nothing,” Alba accuses. “We tried to find out the organization, the branch… and they didn’t tell us anything about data protection.” New coordinates now appear: The account is with Gandía, it is still active and shared, there is someone else along with Cristina. “Knowing this person’s name can be very important,” says Alba. Doubts re-emerge with new data. “A mistake? Is she my mother? Could someone have done something to her and usurped her identity?” Alba, Clara and the rest of the family are still waiting for answers. Nothing is progressing. Ten years later it all starts again.
