UNSOLVED ISSUES

The investigation into the case was strongly contested by Fernando García who, alternatively, developed a conspiracy theory. He argued that the official version had been a cover-up for the real criminals: a group of powerful politicians and businessmen involved in the production of snuff videos. Although much of the theory was based on speculation and unfounded accusations (some of them criminal), it became firmly entrenched in the collective imagination of Spanish society thanks to its intense media exposure.

 

His accusations, which were even made on national television, to three men of political and business relevance, giving their names and surnames and without presenting any evidence, took him to court. For several accusations, including also some made to civil guards, in June 2009, Fernando García had to pay an indemnity of 270,000 euros and a fine of 14,760 euros for a continuous offence of serious libel with publicity and Juan Ignacio Blanco (a journalist who was also involved in these theories and defamations) was sentenced to two years in prison and to pay an indemnity of 260,000 euros; Radiotelevisión Valenciana was also condemned as a subsidiary civil party responsible for the libellous statements made.

 

 

Some questions were never properly explained and remain in doubt to this day:

How is it that pieces of the Social Security leaflet incriminating Anglés' brother would have remained in that windy area for two and a half months?

How come no traces of the girls' blood or bodily fluids were ever found in the shed where the events allegedly took place?

How is it that initially Jose Miguel Bort, reports that on the surface of the earth there was "a protruding hand, almost completely boneless, with two protruding bones and a white watch" and later it is described that the body was found handcuffed?

 

On 24 June 2019, a curious couple walking around the site where the Alcácer girls were found found some skeletal remains. In total there were four bones, November 2020 it was confirmed that the bones found belonged to Miriam García. Bones that had not been found before, were after almost 30 years.
