- The Criminalistics Laboratory of the Guardia Civil has been tasked with dating the bones, attempting identification and checking for signs of violence or cause of death.
- A judge ordered the town's punto limpio sealed and the local council closed it so officers can check whether debris taken there contains additional remains or DNA evidence.
- Regional sources told reporters that early analysis suggests the bones may date back about 40 years, but no formal identification or confirmed cause of death has been released and the investigation remains active.
