Overview
- He was located Sunday morning at the Casa Bernardín bar-tienda in Obona after a multi-day operation led by the Guardia Civil with Bomberos de Asturias.
- Emergency personnel said he appeared well, declined a medical evaluation, and told them he intended to keep traveling rather than go back to his home in La Llaneza.
- A neighbor, Daniel Rodríguez Cortina, reported seeing him in Obona and alerted 112, which directed search teams to the area.
- At the shop he purchased provisions and left on foot with his backpack, according to local reporting.
- Officials indicate that future searches would not be launched automatically given the voluntary nature of his absence, a case drawing attention due to his 2011 killing of his brother, a 53-day flight through the same mountains, and his release from prison in 2017.
