New Witness Links Therapist to 'Extreme' Route in Andic Investigation

The judicialized messages the witness turned over are now under forensic review, a development that could alter whether the December 2024 mountain death is treated as a homicide.

Overview

  • A British interpreter told Mossos she prospected the Collbató route and accompanied Jonathan Andic on December 7, 2024, a week before his father Isak Andic fell to his death.
  • The witness voluntarily handed over her phone and exchanged messages and audio files, which police have transcribed, judicialized, and are currently analysing.
  • She said therapist María Julia Lüderwaldt asked her to find 'extreme' paths and described therapy that pushed clients to 'situations límite' including being placed at the edge of a precipice.
  • The testimony contradicts parts of Jonathan’s earlier account that he learned the path from friends and did not disclose being accompanied; the defence urges caution and notes Jonathan’s old phone was lost in Ecuador.
  • Next steps include a likely courtroom ratification of the witness statement, a request for protected‑witness status, possible site verification with police, and forensic checks that could deepen the homicide inquiry or affect the therapist’s legal exposure.
