Overview
- Spanish police confirmed the match this week through a molar comparison, a method that often survives weather and decay.
- Walkers discovered the body on March 6, 2025 in the remote El Berriel canyon on Gran Canaria, where poor phone signal and steep rock faces make rescues hard.
- The woman was found head down in a natural pool and partly unclothed, and heavy decomposition defeated early checks of fingerprints and tattoos.
- An autopsy reported no signs of a crime, and investigators are testing flash‑flood or post‑mortem transport by water as working theories.
- Lovas, 32, was reported missing in November 2024 after moving to the island following cancer treatment, and police used Interpol and the Schengen SIRENE network to identify her and notify her family.
