Guardia Civil and police search for the body of Nuria Escalante in a squat in Ibiza

A new clue brings the team investigating the disappearance of the woman in 2018 to the house next door to the former residence of one of the major suspects

A team of investigators from the Guardia Civil, together with Sant Antoni Policía Local and Judicial Police officers, has been searching this morning for the body of Nuria Escalante in a house in Pablo Picasso Street, in Sant Antoni, next to the house where one of the suspects in the woman’s 2018 disappearance lived. A new clue led agents to reopen the investigation and go to the house next to the property they searched in 2018, according to sources close to the case.

When asked by Diario de Ibiza why they had gone to the area, both Guardia Civil officers and the Policía Local present at the scene refused to make any statements.

In the early hours of the morning, a neighbour raised the alarm to this newspaper explaining that a group of officers had been searching a “house where squatters live” in the vicinity of her home, on Pablo Picasso street, from 8am. According to the neighbour, officers had proceeded to close off traffic on the street, to both vehicles and pedestrians. A cleaning truck from the Brilliant company had also been sent to the house. At 11am, the investigation team was still at the house, where the door was open.

Throughout the morning, Police and Guardia Civil officers inspected both the inside and outside of the house, including the plot at the front, as this newspaper was able to verify. Some of the inhabitants, at least one woman and one man, as well as a pet, were also in the house.
