However, investigators have gathered numerous evidence that proves that the husband of the missing woman – arrested on May 4 in Miami and in provisional prison – is after a crime motivated by a separation process and the distribution of a millionaire patrimony.
The evidence that makes up the account of the events, which appears in the summary of the case, to which EFE has had access, comes from the recordings from traffic cameras throughout Europe, the positioning of the suspect’s phone and the statements of several witnesses that place him in key locations.

Knezevich’s appeal for bail is denied
The US Justice ordered this Monday, June 3, “preventive detention” without the right to bail of Serbian David Knezevich, arrested in Miami for his possible involvement in the disappearance of his wife, the Colombian-American Ana María Knezevich, in Madrid (Spain) last February.
Judge Edwin G. Torres, in a federal court in Miami, determined that Knezevich, 36, must remain detained without bail until the conclusion of the process, “after considering the nature and circumstances of the crime” of kidnapping of which he is accused and the possible risk of flight, according to the order to which EFE had access.

“The weight of the evidence against the accused is sufficient to establish probable cause to support preventive detention,” says Judge Torres in his ruling, who details in his arrest order the weight of the evidence against Knezevich, “the story and characteristics of the defendant”.
