the trail of Monica de la Llana Garcia (Irún, 1977), a neighbor of Valls mother of a 22-year-old son, is lost on July 21 of this summer. She carries 132 days whereabouts unknown and his family knows that it is not a voluntary disappearance. The last person to see her alive was an informal boyfriend of The Mulberry of Montsant (Priorat) who has declared to Mossos d’Esquadra that he left her around 2:00 p.m. at a bus stop in a nearby town, Montsant cornudella because Monica wanted to go to Reus.
Monica had been in that city to eat with a friend, who assures that she never got to meet her. According to Maria Jesus, Mónica’s older sister, the Catalan police showed a photograph of the woman to the driver of the bus that he supposedly took to go to Reus but he replied that he did not remember having seen her. María Jesús is convinced that someone has hurt her little sister.
45 year old mother
Monica is the youngest of three children in a family that settled in Valls at two different speeds. First came Monica, pregnant, and her mother. Later, when her father, an agent of the Civil Guard stationed at irun, he retired early, the rest of the family arrived. María Jesús describes Mónica as a woman Independent. In delicate health, unstable jobs as a waitress, and an enthusiast of alternative electronic music parties, Monica could be away for short periods, four or five days at the most. For this reason, from the outset, María Jesús did not want to give it any importance the first time her mother told her that he knew nothing about her.
But Mónica is at the same time the complete opposite, remarks María Jesús: “Very dependent on friends and family, a person who needs contact and who doesn’t know how to be alone.” For María Jesús it is impossible that her sister wanted to cut off all of her affective ties at the same time.
After a few days, during which the mother made María Jesús see that Mónica had not even taken an interest in her state of health knowing that she was going to face a medical intervention, she began to worry. She activated the option in WhatsApp that allows you to see when a contact was connected for the last time. “I was very worried because Monica, who is one of those who is connected all day, had not done so since July 21 and we were already at the beginning of August“. The latest entries in Facebook and in instagram of Mónica, under the name of ‘Moni vasca’, were from the July 18 and of the July 14, respectively. “And Monica was very active on social media.”
The phone
Mónica had been staying at her informal boyfriend’s house in La Morera de Montsant for a few days. Before July 21, she chatted via WhatsApp both with a friend from Reus – with whom she had met for lunch that Thursday the 21st – and with another friend – whose house she planned to go to pick up some clothes. In the audios that she sent to her friend, and in the screenshots of the WhatsApp conversation that they both had, Monica repeatedly says that They will see each other on Thursday and that they will eat together. But Mónica neither showed up to eat at her friend’s house nor did she pick up the clothes at her friend’s house, according to both have declared. Monica also worked intermittently as a waitress, without a fixed contract in any bar, she had accepted a job for that weekend. Monica was also immersed in a processing process to achieve recognition of a partial disability due to the health problems she was having.

María Jesús accepts with resignation that the Mossos investigators who are trying to find her sister are so “hermetic”. The little she knows about the progress of the investigations is that the police have not observed any trace of her sister’s life since her disappearance: nor has he used his bank cardsnor has bought nor the medicines what you need for asthma and heart problems that suffers. The investigators have also explained to him that, according to the telephone repeaters, the last location of Mónica’s mobile is in La Morera de Montsant. The repeaters also indicate that the last call Mónica made was at 7:50 a.m. on July 21. And she went through that area and to talk for three minutes with her boyfriend. “I don’t understand why she called her boyfriend at that time if she was theoretically with him,” María Jesús insists, surprised. “Her friend of hers was calling her on Thursday, July 21, and she says that the phone gave a signal until the night.”
September 13 was the birthday of Mónica, 45 years old), and also that of her son – they were born on the same day –, who has grown up mainly with grandparents. María Jesús knows that Mónica would not remain silent on such a date. The family has hired a lawyer who is waiting for the Valls court to accept it as a private accusation. The Mossos d’Esquadra, consulted by this newspaper, confirm that they are investigating her disappearance but affirm that revealing any detail will make it difficult to solve it. SOS Disappeared made Mónica’s case public a few weeks ago at the request of the family, who do believe that any information provided by citizens who have not yet contacted them could be decisive in finding out what happened to Mónica de la Llana García .
