There are no photos matching his current image. Unknown. She may wear colored lenses, glasses, be blonde, brunette, have long hair or not… It is not clear where she moves. Where was it? Where. All alerts have been enabled for three months. “There is no progress, the Security Guard cannot find him and they have never contacted me,” his mother Inés laments.
Her name is Lorena Rafael Cintas, she is 28 years old and escaped from the hospital Arévalo psychiatric hospital (Avila) He entered by court order two and a half months ago. “I warned you, my daughter is not what she seems,” her mother complains. “He has different ailments, he has a great power of manipulation – his illness allows him that – and his situation is a person who has absolute control over himself…” he explains bitterly in front of CASO ABIERTO, an event portal investigation. “This mixture makes it dangerous”. His escape poses a risk to everyone. “The truth is, my daughter can do a lot of harm, she’s sick. Miraculously she’s alive, she caused 400 people to be hospitalized. She also has a lot of crimes behind her. She was put in a psychiatric hospital because she couldn’t do it.” Don’t be in prison.”
300 intensive care unit admissions
“Lorena has Factitious Disorder, formerly known as Munchausen syndrome, among others,” Inés begins. The woman struggled for years for someone to diagnose her. “We realized years ago that something was going on and the doctors didn’t see it.” During adolescence, the admissions, false symptoms, and the tide of illness began to cease. Among other things, his disorder feigning or provoking illness going to hospital.
“Lorena has 300 Admissions to intensive care with intubation. Generally it comes to four hundred. Imagine the exposure he endured in one intensive care unit after another“, sums up Inés. Her disorder also affects the people around her. “In Lorena’s case, she not only gets sick, but she does so by proxy. This is a variant of the disease he’s had all along. It all started when a vulnerable boyfriend persuaded her to harm herself… or cause injury, causing her to spend the night in hospital.” Lorena has four children. “It was terrible… We did it. “Custody should be abolished”. They were victimized. They are in good condition today.
50 complaints of ill-treatment
Lie is their main weapon. His mother says the latter is manipulation. “It hurts to learn this about your daughter, and it has become very difficult to face it all these years,” she laments. Lorena is the real victim of her disease.
To others, he is an almost perfect person. “I remember fifteen days later when he entered the Arévalo center (Ávila). The social worker told me there was no other prisoner who behaved the same way. it was so cute“. He stopped her. “Deception is his greatest virtue. It’s always worked this way. “She is the sweetest, most lovable person, but my daughter is not here because she is like this, she is here because she cannot go to prison, she is very sick but she has crimes for which she will go to prison.”
Fraud, threats, extortionIn addition to everything else that comes with his victimization, his mother says. “My daughter has made 50 complaints of gender-based violence in three years, at most five years. Is this all true? Most of these men are in prison.”
Inés says that despite the warning, Lorena’s good behavior earned her some privileges, such as going for a walk in the center of Ávila. “The second time he went out he ran away.” At 21:00 on October 26, he received the following call: “Do you know anything about your daughter? She did not return to the center. I said that I warned them… They said that the same thing disappeared in the town of Arévalo…”. Almost five hours had passed since Lorena began her escape. They still didn’t know who he was.
Operation
“Lorena was rendered incapacitated by court order in the third week of July.” The process was very fast because she had escaped from Castellón General Hospital a month before. “He was admitted, had open tracheotomy surgery and ran away. This accelerated the process of incapacity,” his mother backs down.
Among other things, his disorder causes him to feign illness or pretend to be sick in order to get to the hospital. Lorena was hospitalized 400 times, 300 of whom were in intensive care
He went. When the nurses on the first shift went to check her vitals, Lorena was no longer there.. “It showed up 48 hours later because it needed medical attention, it left a gaping hole regardless.” They had to operate on his vocal cords due to intubation. “Despite the psychiatrist’s instructions, my daughter, who was already in a psychiatric center, was operated on with the protocol of a normal person, without supervision, without control rules.”
At the hospital, Lorena “a boy started visiting her until they gave her clothes so she could leave.” It took a while for the search to be activated. Another flaw in the protocol. “Lorena left the hospital bed, went out into the street, had breakfast, went to the nearest police station and got a copy of her ID so she could withdraw money. She went to the bank, withdrew 1000 euros, bought a mobile phone…” Inés explains.
The artist also went to the hairdresser to change her image and had “keratin straightening and nails done”, he said. He went to Valencia Hospital because he had a fever and a tracheostomy wound. The alarm went off and they took him back to Castellón. A judge ordered him to be completely incapacitated and placed on a closed regime. His mother explains that this was his admission to a center where he had no access to money, no exits, and no communication. The only square was in Arévalo, the center where he disappeared.
Bizums from the center
The young woman needed a month and a half to fool the professionals in the center of Ávila. “I remember they called me and asked if I could bring them a tablet.” A little upset, Inés took him away. “I thought it was about doing something specific and would have parental controls or something like that. “When I delivered it, they said they would only block the camera because taking photographs was prohibited in the centre.”
“He sends me a photo of the sneakers from the center and says, ‘Mom, buy them and bring them to me when he comes next month.’ He made me a bizum and disappeared the same afternoon.”
Ines was afraid. “Does my daughter have social networks? It seems very cruel to me. She will start to manipulate the outside from the inside because we have already been through this.” You don’t know what my daughter does with social networks“. Ignored. “The next day my daughter texted me, they let her insert her SIM card… And after a while she called me.” Inés was surprised. “We were talking several times a day.” The mother warned again: “If my daughter calls me, she can talk to anyone. “This is actually a danger.”
Lorena also started doing bizums. “He made them for me, who else?” Inés warned once again. “The day he disappeared, he sent me a screenshot of his sneakers and said: ‘Mom, buy them in my size and come and bring them to me the next month. He did bizum for me. He disappeared the same afternoon.’
Not alone
The investigation does not stop. Civil Guard SOS Desaparecidos, which has supported women from the beginning We received some possible commentsbut none of it was possible. Sources close to the case suggest that Lorena may have been with a man, a child, with whom she escaped from the Castellón hospital. The young woman at the center was communicating with him and giving him a large amount of bisum, the media learned. This figure can reach 6,000 euros.
Without guaranteed physical characteristics, one important piece of information to know if he is is the strong hoarseness that characterizes his voice. He also has scarring from the tracheostomy on his neck. “This is no joke, my daughter is dangerous and may even be in real danger.”
