Overview
- Police said Wednesday they believe the remains are those of Orlinda Marín, with DNA testing underway and her family notified.
- Road workers clearing brush found the body near the R-2 toll area about six kilometers from the airport, in dense scrub that is hard to access.
- Investigators report no signs of violence and now lean toward a natural death, likely dehydration during a severe June heatwave.
- Security cameras earlier captured her leaving the terminal and later walking along nearby roads toward Alcobendas during her layover.
- Marín had advanced dementia, was traveling from Ibiza to Cali with her 83-year-old father, and months of searches by police and her son failed to find her until this accidental discovery.
