News outlet Faro de Vigo, part of Prensa Ibérica, has reported that the autopsy confirmed the woman found dead this Thursday in Porriño, Pontevedra, was a local resident. A neighbor identified the victim as Judith MG, 37, who had been missing since Saturday. Authorities have not ruled out prostitution as a possible factor in her life situation. The autopsy results and the circumstances surrounding the death remain under review, and investigators are awaiting the final coroner’s report. Several questions about the case persist as clues are gathered.
The investigative team has collected a range of evidence. Notable details include multiple tattoos on the body and facial features that match the missing person description, with no immediate signs of physical trauma reported at the scene.
By Thursday afternoon, investigators were considering whether the death could be linked to a violent incident, including the possibility that the body had been moved to its final location to conceal it. So far, the examination at the scene showed no obvious injuries beyond a cloth gag placed in the mouth, which is being analyzed in the context of the overall findings.
This morning a Criminalistics team from the Pontevedra Command returned to the site to continue the inquiry. The area around the body was cleared, the surrounding environment scanned for new evidence, and the container at the site moved to facilitate the search. Inspectors are reviewing surveillance footage from nearby industrial facilities to reconstruct the victim’s last hours and understand any links to drug use or other factors that may explain how the body ended up there.
As this unfolds, the sitting judge of Investigation Court No. 3 has opened proceedings and is awaiting autopsy results, the visual examination, and the formal procedures carried out by the Civil Guard Judicial Police to identify the victim.
Government delegate Pedro Blanco confirmed that indicators point to violent death on Friday and emphasized that all hypotheses remain open. Speaking at an event in A Coruña, Blanco urged the Civil Guard to continue its operation and assured that the case remains under active investigation.
Hidden behind a container
The body was found partially concealed behind a container and near granite pillars at one of the entrances to the Gándaras industrial area. The initial theory contends that one or more individuals transported the body into the industrial park, entering through the A-55 road linking Porriño and Tui, and placing it behind the stone fence and nearby container.
The discovery occurred around five in the afternoon when a transporter noticed something unusual while on a phone call. The man initially questioned whether the figure was real or a model and moved closer to a workshop and spare parts shop to seek assistance and call emergency services. Those at nearby businesses described the person as pale and asked for help to contact authorities immediately.
The area, located close to Porriño ITV, sees heavy daytime traffic. Sources indicate the body may have been dumped at night. Early descriptions note a person dressed entirely in black with no immediately visible signs of violence on the exterior of the clothing.
Official reaction in Porriño
The Municipality of Porriño announced plans for a vigil this Friday at 18:00 in Plaza Arquitecto Antonio Palacios. The event will include a moment of silence as a gesture of reflection and reconciliation for the community.
