The Civil Guard confirmed that Jose Maria Bisbal Ferre, the brother of renowned Almerian performer David Bisbal, 54, has been located alive after a disappearance reported this Tuesday in Roquetas de Mar, Almeria. Local sources linked to the Almería Command shared the update with press agency EFE, clarifying that the search for the missing person remains active while authorities verify his safety and condition. The discovery came within the city center area of the town, where officers were concentrating efforts following the alarm raised by relatives and residents.
According to the information provided by the Almería Command, the missing person is currently accounted for, and the incident prompted the standard response protocol for missing persons. An official note indicated that the case has been handed to the prosecutor’s office for further proceedings, as is customary when a disappearance triggers formal investigations within the jurisdiction of Almería. The formal steps began soon after a relative filed the report at the Roquetas de Mar post office, setting in motion the procedures that law enforcement and judicial authorities routinely follow in such scenarios.
Authorities explained that the initial steps included activating the missing persons protocol, with a focus on exhaustive investigative lines. The aim was to determine the whereabouts of both the individual and the vehicle involved, a white BMW X6 with the license plate 1235GHW. In the hours following the report, investigators pursued a comprehensive search strategy designed to cover streets and public spaces in Roquetas de Mar, deploying available resources to track any leads that could explain the disappearance and locate the vehicle.
The scope of the operation broadened as the day progressed. The search radius expanded to encompass additional urban zones around Roquetas de Mar, and a coordinated effort was mounted that involved multiple police units. The plan included land, sea, and air resources where feasible and appropriate, reflecting the seriousness with which authorities treat reported missing persons cases. In addition to local agencies, cooperation from other police forces was requested to maximize reach and effectiveness.
As the investigation continued, authorities emphasized the importance of verifying information through official channels and avoiding rumors. The public was urged to stay informed through official statements and to report any sightings or relevant information to the appropriate authorities. While the immediate concern was to ensure the safety of the missing person, the operation also sought to confirm details about the vehicle and any potential connections to ongoing events or local activity in the area.
People familiar with the case noted that the disappearance had drawn attention due to the family’s public profile and the strong ties to the cultural landscape of the region. The recovery of Jose Maria Bisbal Ferre, if confirmed, marks a positive turn for relatives and friends who had initiated the investigation under the guidance of law enforcement officials. The situation underscores the collaborative nature of missing persons cases, where families, neighborhood communities, and police work together to bring about resolution and safety. (EFE)
