The article discusses the resolution of the Francisca Cadenas case in Hornachos, Spain, who disappeared in May 2017. After the initial investigation stalled and closed in 2019, the UCO took over in November 2024 and focused on brothers Manuel (Lolo) and Julián, who were always suspected. Police obtained warrants for surveillance, placing microphones in their home and car. The strategy involved creating pressure by using media appearances by the victim's family and increased police presence to provoke the suspects into revealing incriminating information. Key audio recordings revealed their involvement, a potential location, and their obsession with the victim. The brothers were arrested, and the investigation continues to address remaining questions.
