At twelve o’clock at noon on December 7, Lalo, as everyone calls him, says goodbye to his brother José. He just dropped her off at the B&B Hotel in the Kinépolis Mall area (Granada). “My brother Lalo had been away from home for a few days and chose to rest there before returning,” explains Tamara, nicknamed Lala. He entered and exited as the cameras recorded. There is no Lalo left. A few minutes after dropping him off at the hotel, he called his brother again and said, “I’m in danger, come and get me.” “It took him ten minutes to arrive,” his sister explains to OPEN CASE, “but when he arrived, he couldn’t find her.” His name is Gonzalo Maya Cortés, he is 45 years old, he has three daughters and he has been for two months. no this.
“He wasn’t there… and we don’t know anything else.” His phone was never turned on again. He didn’t come home. He didn’t call. Nobody knows where he is. His family searches tirelessly. “Scary. A lifelessness, will he be okay? Won’t he be okay? Did something happen to him…? Did something happen to him…?” Too many questions. “There are so many,” says Tamara, “and not all of them have answers, adding to the pain of not knowing…”.
disconnection
“On December 7, he parked the car in front of my mother’s house, called my brother and told him to take him to the hotel,” says Tamara. “Sometimes it did, disconnected for a few days, three at most, got overwhelmed, went away…”, he explains. The subtlety, the difference, was that he always did it with the phone on, reachable. “Lalo never got lost.” Before he disappeared, the man had been away from home for a few days. He needed air, and that was the plan.
“Take me…”, Lalo asked. They arrived at the B&B Hotel shortly before twelve o’clock. “They say goodbye, my other brother leaves… As for Lalo, you can see on the cameras how he enters and exits. I don’t know if they didn’t let him stay or if he changed his mind.“. At the door, a few minutes after I left him, “he called my brother again and told him that I was in danger and that we no longer knew about him.” Without leaving a trace, without any explanation, without anything more. Lalo disappeared from the door of the hotel in broad daylight..
in the river
No leads, no witnesses, no data, no signal…”Lalo’s phone didn’t pick up,” Tamara relives. After the allotted time, the family decided to go to the Police Department and file a report. Male, 45 years old, height 1.75 m, weight 70 kilos. Green eyes, normal skin. He has tattoos on his arms and hands. “The last thing we knew was him saying he was in danger,” they explained. Agents noted this. “I guess it took a while for the search to start,” his sister laments. “The area where my brother disappeared, that is, the area around the hotel, has not been traced yet.”
Even though it’s been three weeks A battalion of friends and family beat every corner relentlessly. “We put up posters, we searched. We searched the center, we searched all the leading streets. We looked in the swamp, we searched the river… we searched the area where he disappeared…” They found nothing. There are no clues or symptoms that would lead to it. “My brother had his phone and documents with him.”
One thousand euros for its location
During the raids and searches, two clues emerged. One is in Malaga and the other is in Granada. “Without thinking, we stopped looking for where we were and went there,” Tamara recalls. Interestingly, both places mentioned a bakery. Neither clue was correct: “It was a boy who looked like him, but it wasn’t him.”
The lack of news intensified the spread of posters. On the streets, on the walls, on the street lamps… Also on social networks. “We were contacted by a person, his so-called friend, who was going to help us and call an association I don’t know who he was. ‘A thousand euros and we’ll find out where he is.’ money,” Tamara recalls, “we gathered together everyone who went looking for it and gave it to them…”. It was a scam. “My so-called brother knew him, but we did not know him. We got scammed and threatened us… took the money and contributed nothing to the investigation.”
“Where else to look? We don’t know what else to do,” the family laments. “Once Christmas passed, the Civil Guard began taking statements.” These reached a very small amount. “They say there are so many conflicting versions they don’t know where to go.” Agents describe his sister as follows: They do not ignore the voluntary march. That Lalo is gone.
At home they say “Impossible”. “My brother has three daughters (ages two, five and eleven). He also takes care of my mother, he takes care of my grandmother… he is a very family-oriented person. He will not leave everyone alone without saying anything.. “He would never have left like that.”
“Hatred”
“Very familiar, always looking out for everyone.” Arrogant: “I went to the gym every day”, very active: “I rode my bike everywhere.” Music lover: “He played piano and keyboard.” Talkative and curious: Shortly before he disappeared he said to me: ‘Lala, I want to study psychology now’.” Everyone has been looking for him for two months, no one knows where he is. His last words on everyone’s mind: “I’m in danger…” The phone, which has since been turned off, seems significant: “We are waiting for a judge to grant agents access to the terminal.”
They say he has no enemies at home, “though we’ve heard that he held some grudges after this incident… but we don’t know exactly who he was with, whether it was a rumor, a lie, or a lie.” Honestly.” Lalo didn’t come back. No, that’s it. Anxiety at home is at its maximum: “We need help, brother, it doesn’t go like this.”
