The investigators have managed to dismantle the alibi of the individual, who is now 53 years old, after an “exhaustive analysis” of the mobile phone data, which has made it possible to dismantle his contradictions. It was like this Tuesday, The police arrested Carlos in Barcelona and now the Valls Investigative Court has ordered his entry into prison, communicated and without bail. The case is open for homicide, concealment of the body and physical and psychological abuse.
The investigators have “determining material evidence” that allows them to relate the subject to Mónica’s disappearance. Among these, the Mossos point out, «objects that someone under normal circumstances would never abandon». Now, the investigations are still open to try to locate the woman’s body.
On a Thursday, July 21, 2022, the Monica’s phone stopped emitting a signal. That afternoon I had met a friend for lunch. “In the end you didn’t come, you’ll tell me why you couldn’t come.” There was no response. Days before, he told him: “I’ll tell you what’s happening to me.” The last time anyone spoke to her was the day before. “Tomorrow I’ll go get clothes, at your house,” he wrote to a friend, but he didn’t show up either. She did not answer and it did not seem strange to them because, as her sister explained to this newspaper, it was something normal for her. “It was difficult to follow in his footsteps.”
Mónica had moved with a recent partner, Carlos, to a small town in PrioratLa Morera de Montsant, with just over a hundred inhabitants. She had no job, although she worked sporadically as a waitress in a restaurant. That weekend, when he was lost, he had a shift scheduled at a bar in Vilanova i la Geltrú (Barcelona). The alarms went off when, after her mother told her that she was going to have surgery, Monica did not contact her either. Sometimes he stopped showing signs for days, but his family saw that he was active on social media and that was how they knew he was fine. “When I saw that he hadn’t shared anything and that he hadn’t connected to WhatsApp since July 21, I said ‘it’s not normal.’ Her friends didn’t know anything about her either,” María Jesús said a few months ago. In fact, his ex-partner alerted his mother, Teresa. “I don’t know anything about Monica, the last day I spoke with her was the 18th, on Telegram, how strange that she doesn’t answer me, I don’t know anything about her.” This is how they formalized the complaint at the Los Angeles police station. Mossos d’Esquadra from Valls (Tarragona).
Monica needed medication for asthma and also for an arrhythmia. He didn’t take it with himand the Catalan Police did not detect any movements that indicated that he could have acquired it later. Although he is the last person to see her, Carlos, her partner, did not contact the family and did not alert the Mossos. In his statement, he told investigators that on July 21 he had left her at the bus stop in a nearby town, Cornudella de Montsant. He explained that he took her there at two in the afternoon, so that she could go to work. According to the family, it was a lie, Monica didn’t have to work that day.
Monica’s entourage suspected Carlos due to the previous mistreatment and lack of interest in finding her. He did not even contact the family after his disappearance
The driver denied Mónica boarding his bus. His mobile phone did not leave La Morera either.where its last signal is located. Since then, no movement has been recorded in their bank accounts either. Although the family does not know Carlos, Mónica’s friends do, and they assure that the relationship between the two was “quite stormy.” In fact, they remember an incident in which he left her “lying” at the gas station in the town bordering the one they lived in. Her sister has some audio recordings that capture the individual’s mistreatment of Mónicaalthough she never reported it, but now the court is also investigating him for it.
For all this, His entourage suspected Carlosnot only because of the previous history of fights between the couple, but because of their attitude. In all this time, he had not contacted her family. He also did not go to the police. Finally, the investigation has resulted in his arrest and subsequent imprisonment, although Mónica’s body still remains to be located.
