  • Hemeroteca.The missing woman in Pontevedra had a bad time with her partner

Julio Araújo, the only one investigated for the disappearance of

Sonia Iglesias

from Pontevedra

in August 2010, has died in the last hours at his family home in

Pontevedra

, sources close to the family have informed Efe.

Araújo suffered from lung cancer for years that had worsened in recent months.

He was, at the time, the only one investigated for the disappearance of his partner, Sonia Iglesias, with whom he had a 10-year-old son at the time of the events.

Despite the police pressure on him and the multiple searches on his family's properties, the investigators never obtained sufficiently solid evidence against him, forcing the case to be archived.

With the death of Araújo, many of the unknowns that still surround a case that shocked public opinion in Pontevedra just a decade ago will remain unsolved.
