These are two unrelated cases, beyond the Investigators convinced that both were victims of violent crimes and that their remains have never been found. Are two of priority investigations for the Civil Guard, that this week has activated uA large search operation based on apparently very flimsy clues, but which had to be ruled out. For three days a team of dogs specially trained to locate human remains have searched two farms, in Calvià and Binissalem, without finding anything positive. The operation has made it possible to verify something else: the Civil Guard does not abandon the search.
Almost ten years have passed since the disappearance of Malén. Around three in the afternoon on December 2, 2013, the teenager got off the bus on Avenida de sa Porrassa, in Calvià, and was going on a skateboard to eat at her boyfriend’s house, since she had forgotten the keys to her home. His passage was recorded by a security camera.but after that nothing more is known about her.The investigation has occupied dozens of Civil guards, many from the island and others expressly displaced from the peninsula. One of the first suspects was a 65-year-old man who had a shed in the area that he used as a storage room.. The researchers noticed him after starring in an altercation with some young girls and discovering that he had pornographic photos of minors on his computer. He was placed under surveillance, interrogated and his homes searched. Unsuccessfully.
Recently some relatives reportedly informed the Civil Guard that the man, admitted to a psychiatric hospital with a “chronic delusional disorder”, He had commented that he knew where the body of the teenager was, as reported by Caso Abierto, the event channel of Prensa Ibérica. This information has led to activate the “Operation Vans”. The Civil Guard took advantage of a complaint about a dumping of rubble on the farm to set up a large tracking device.
ORA team of canine handlers with dogs trained to locate human bodies traveled expressly from Madrid. The guards dug deep holes in the ground to make it easier for the dogs to detect the scent of the subsoil.either. An excavator removed all the land. After two days of work, the search ended without results. “We had to try, at least to rule it out,” commented a Benemérita agent, aware of the track being very weak.On Wednesday the operation was transferred to Binissalem, the scene of another possible unresolved crime. In this case, the suspect is Juan Torres Serra, alias Rotavella, a 58-year-old veteran criminal from Ibiza, who in recent decades has been investigated for the disappearance of three people. To these must be added a missing fourth, Antonio Llabrés, who was last seen in August 2020.This man had welcomed Rotavella in his house in Binissalem for several months. After his disappearance, the suspect stated that the man had left and showed a document in which he let him live at his home. When the Civil Guard confirmed the identity of the housemate, the alarms went off. The suspect was detained and for days investigators searched every inch of the estate for signs of burial. Nothing turned up and Rotavella was still free.
The Civil Guard recently received information. A man who looked like the suspect had been seen digging on another farm about three kilometers from the house, so last Wednesday the Civil Guard dogs inspected it again. Again without result. But the search continues.
