The Dutch Police opens a new line of investigation after receiving several alerts, but continues to search a river where their belongings appeared
The search continues to be fruitless, although hope is not lost. The Amsterdam Police maintains the search device to try to locate Silvia Soriano Morente, the 25-year-old Yeclana who has been missing since Saturday in the Dutch capital.
The search efforts are focusing on a nearby river, on whose shore the young woman’s clothes, mobile phone and other personal belongings appeared. According to local media, a police boat has been tracing the riverbed in recent hours, with no positive results at the moment.
At the same time, the photograph of the young woman with a call for citizen collaboration is spreading throughout the city and on the social networks that are serving as a loudspeaker. That request has caused that, in the last hours, a new line of police investigation has been opened. Several people claim to have seen a woman with Silvia’s physical characteristics in a homeless shelter in the city, according to local media.
This possibility is not ruled out, since people close to the young woman’s family have confirmed that years ago she also suffered a loss of consciousness that could explain her disappearance.
Together with the agents, the parents of the missing woman and her partner are in the area experiencing first-hand the police search efforts.
A young globetrotter
Silvia Soriano had been living in Amsterdam for about five months and worked in a hotel in the city, according to some of her relatives. She is about a woman who is described by those who know her as “a globetrotter”. Despite her youth, Silvia was living in Mauritius as a teacher, in Italy and now she had moved to Holland, along with her partner of Italian origin.
She is a young woman passionate about languages, with a degree in French Philology, who maintains a lot of contact with her origins and her childhood friends in Yecla, despite her growing life outside of Spain.
Precisely together with a friend of Yecla and another acquaintance, she was touring the Westerpark fair last Saturday until, around ten o’clock at night, they decided to go home each on their own. That was the last time we heard from her.
The Spanish Consulate in Amsterdam is in contact with the local authorities and with the family of the missing person, Ministry sources explained.
