:n the past 13 days, the Civil Guard has been working flat out to solve the crime. DNA testing has been key to limiting the number of suspects, according to sources close to the case.
The agents have questioned more than 30 friends, relatives and neighbors of the child to reconstruct her last hours alive. After the talk, they were asked to contribute a DNA sample voluntarily. The research team has received support from two psychologists from Madrid.
Mary Esther's father, Juan Isidoro Jimenez, said on Thursday that she had received two anonymous threatening before she died, but he had not given importance to them because they thought they were "childish pranks". The messages, written schoolbook lined notebook paper, arrived one month and one week before her disappearance.
Mary Esther was reported missing from home on the night of Jan. 19. Alarmed that she did not come home, her mother reported her missing early that morning in the Civil Guard barracks in Ronda. After several searches, a firefighter found her body at 19.30 the following day in the shed of a sewage pumping station with a broken door. She lay on the floor, her face disfigured by a beating, allegedly with a stone the size of a small melon. On February 1, she would have been 14 years old. Her parents paidher tribute on Tuesday evening bringing her a bouquet of flowers to the building where she was found dead.
The girl was last seen alive by her friends on the afternoon of Wednesday, sitting at the bus stop located on the outskirts of town. That afternoon she had been seen buying sweets at a cyber cafe located opposite the bus stop and was believed to be visiting a friend at the gym in the town and passed through a pizzeria where she wanted to celebrate her birthday. Both her friends and her family described her as a girl "very good, quiet and innocent."Text may be subject to copyright.This blog does not claim copyright to any such text.
