Tenerife
The oceanographic vessel Ángeles Alvariño has just a few hours of searching left following the announcement that the ship will leave Tenerife tomorrow (Thursday) even if it doesn’t discover any sign of Anna and Tomás Gimeno in the area where it found the lifeless body of little Olivia last Thursday at a depth of 1,000 metres.
Today they are focusing on the area where they found the divers’ weight belt which they believe Gimeno weighed himself down with, to kill himself after murdering his two daughters. This is also the same area where the last signal from Tomás' mobile was detected and where the investigators believe that the bodies of Anna and Tomás are most likely to be.
The discovery of the 1-year-old girl and her father, according to the judge's order, would mean finding the missing pieces of this complicated investigation that began on April 27th with the kidnapping of the girls by their father.
"We continue to rely on a second miracle to find Anna"
Joaquín Mills, has shown confidence that the Ángeles Alvariño's search efforts can yield results, as the spokesperson for Beatriz Zimmermann, the girls' mother, still has hope.
“We are aware of the complexity of finding Anna, and perhaps even more so finding Tomás, but finding Olivia was a miracle, and we continue to trust the good work of the Guardia Civil and the ship's personnel to produce this second miracle of finding Anna and their murderer, to be able to have closure,” declared Mills.
Regarding the search for the body of Tomás, the most complex because the place where he could jump into the sea was not clear, Mills agrees that “there is one piece of information that marks the investigation of the Guardia Civil, which is the moment in which his mobile stopped emitting any signal, because it is where theoretically you jump into the water with your mobile.”
Beatriz's spokesperson did not want to comment on the possible role of Tomás Gimeno's girlfriend, who received a box with cash and a letter in which he confessed his intentions. "There is no statement about it. We prefer to remain silent about that for the moment.”
