Losilla enjoyed a brief period of freedom before returning to the Zuera prison complex in Zaragoza, where he has served his sentence since his arrest. He sought additional outings, but these requests were denied based on the evaluations prepared by the Central Penitentiary Institution. In this most recent instance, the Prison Supervision judge granted a request put forward by his attorney, Juan Manuel Martín Calvente, suggesting a possible softening of the terms if circumstances remain favorable.
Pilar Cebrián’s name has been tied to the disappearance from the outset, even appearing on Interpol watch lists. That was the course the case took after Losilla filed a report with the National Police. It had been 22 days since a violent death, a period during which he worked to conceal the body and to construct an alibi. Reports later revealed that Losilla boasted that there is no crime without a corpse, and he publicly mocked José Breton. He was previously linked to the killing of his children in Córdoba in 2011, where their remains were found on a family farm. Yet Losilla’s statements contained inconsistencies. The Aragon High Police Station Homicide Group accumulated as many as 79 incriminating indicators in the course of the investigation.
The search of the residence and the crime scene at Ricla left a lasting impression. The National Police examined the plumbing and, at one point, Losilla confessed to the crime: he described seizing a jewel from a hand, snatching it and pushing in a way that caused it to fall and strike a handle. He recalled that there was minimal bleeding from the nose and blood in the ear. He also explained how the body was disposed of: feeling weak, he avoided dragging the corpse to the basement, instead waiting and then examining it. To create doubt, he reportedly packaged fragments and scattered them in nearby towns, claiming the internal contents resembled those of an animal.
A video-recorded statement reviewed by the Criminal Intelligence Unit of the National Police Service highlighted how Losilla trimmed details to bolster his narrative and tried to lend credibility to his account. The authorities noted a detachment from reality. Later during the trial, he denied the confession, claiming coercion and pressure.
Losilla was alleged to have planned everything. As part of preparatory actions, he acquired a chemical plunger and three polyurethane foam cans intended for roof repairs and bathroom unclogging, a detail that drew attention to the time when his daughter’s hair loss was observed. Investigators later learned that a thorough cleaning of the garage had taken place, with the cleaning product used in the sewer system. The National Police Homicide Squad determined where the body had been disassembled and where the Scientific Police later detected blood in the pipes matching Pilar Cebrián’s genetic profile.
Following the murder, Losilla reportedly sought companionship online, expressing a preference for a partner aged 45 to 55 on a dating platform. Psychologists from the Aragon Institute of Forensic Medicine analyzed his emails and chats, describing him as possessing narcissistic traits and psychopathic features, while noting a tendency toward manipulation and a lack of empathy in his interactions.
