A call from SOS Desaparecidos went out about a missing 19‑year‑old woman who had recently returned from Galicia after several months in the hospitality industry. The search began after she disappeared from Madrid, raising concern among family, friends, and volunteers who support families in similar distress.
At the time of her disappearance, she stood 1.67 meters tall and had a slim build. She wore glasses, had brown hair and green eyes, and was accompanied by a black and brown American Staffordshire mix and a pit bull during the last known sighting. The organization emphasized these details to aid on‑the‑ground searches and the distribution of physical descriptors to the public for any credible sighting reports.
A collaborator with SOS Desaparecidos, a local attorney, described the case as “high risk” due to the circumstances surrounding the departure. The woman had traveled with her former partner, who was previously the subject of a restraining order for gender‑based violence. This context has heightened concerns about her safety while authorities conduct inquiries and coordinate with relevant agencies.
Family members say the disappearance was reported to the National Police on a Friday, and authorities subsequently located the former partner. He reportedly claimed to have no information about the woman’s whereabouts. Investigators are pursuing all credible leads and reviewing digital communications and financial activity to trace her movements since she was last seen.
According to relatives, the woman left Galicia with her former partner after working as a waiter in the region. They had sought employment in Madrid when opportunities there seemed uncertain, and the move was framed by the couple as a bold attempt to start anew despite challenging circumstances.
Family members recalled that the relationship had a history of violence. The woman had previously sought help after a period of harassment and obtained a restraining order against her partner. This history underscores the risk factors that investigators consider as they work to locate her and ensure her safety, as well as to understand the sequence of events leading to the disappearance.
Earlier reports indicated that the family learned he had returned to Madrid, but with limited information to share. In a later exchange with her younger brother, the last contact described as tense, words indicated distress and concern for her welfare. By that afternoon, contact with other relatives ceased, sparking renewed urgency among those who care for her.
Family members noted that while she could be capable of going a week or more without contact with certain relatives, she maintained a close connection with her younger brother. This bond added to the alarm when communications stopped, prompting a coordinated alert from the household to authorities and volunteer networks. The family emphasized the need for anyone with information to come forward quickly to support a safe return and to document any sightings or messages that could help reconstruct the timeline of events surrounding the disappearance.
