Guardia Civil’s UCO Finds Unidentified Human Remains at Property Linked to Francisca Cadenas Case

Forensic tests will determine if the bones belong to the woman who vanished near her Hornachos home in 2017.

Overview

  • Agents discovered the remains during a court‑authorized search of a house associated with two brothers who live a few doors from Cadenas’ former residence on Calle Nueva.
  • Specialized units, including the Criminalistics inspection team (ECIO), GEAS, GREIM and USECIC, supported an exhaustive registry of the property and an additional plot.
  • The bones are not yet identified and will undergo DNA and other forensic analyses as the inquiry proceeds under judicial secrecy.
  • The two brothers had recently been questioned as investigados and deny any involvement; several outlets report they were detained after the discovery, though official confirmation has not been detailed publicly.
  • The investigation, reopened by the UCO in late 2024 after being archived in 2019, intensified with reconstructions and neighbor testimonies that steered searches to the alley and the brothers’ properties.
