• Investigations The Civil Guard focuses on the two hours in which Tomás Gimeno was alone with the girls at home

  • Follow-up Tomás Gimeno's mobile route and that of the rest of the boats, keys to finding Anna and Olivia

The

Civil Guard

has incorporated a complex study of marine currents to the investigation that continues to find the whereabouts of

Tomás Gimeno

, the man who disappeared in

Tenerife

with his daughters of one and six years after warning his ex-wife that he would not return to see them and go into the sea with your boat.

The incessant search of the girls Anna and Olivia and their father by land, sea and air has a plan of the movements of the ocean starting from the location of Tomás' boat, which appeared empty and adrift 37 kilometers from the Costa the day after the mother denounced the disappearance.

Depending on the area in which the ship appeared, the agents have traced an itinerary following the evolution of the marine currents since last Wednesday, the day on which the mother of the minors, Beatriz, denounced that Tomás had not returned them. .

According to sources from the investigation, the scope of the search has extended to the south of the coast of Tenerife, very close to La Gomera.

The crawls began on the southeast coast, near where Tomás' ship appeared.

The investigations, considered from the beginning of high risk by the investigators, are accompanied on a daily basis by a spectacular device that includes seven vessels -three from the Armed Institute and one from Maritime Rescue-, two helicopters and an airplane.

The Civil Guard has also mobilized one of its transoceanic vessels, a robust 70-meter vessel whose radius of action is wider than conventional vessels.

The Group of Specialists in Underwater Activities (GEAS) of the Armed Institute also works tirelessly.

In addition, Citizen Security agents of the Civil Guard and Seprona also collaborate in the surveillance of the coast to alert of any element coming from the sea.

Agents participating in the search engine are operational from dawn to dusk.

In addition to these actions, technical work is also added.

The agents are tracking the route of Tomás' mobile phone until it stopped working or was turned off, as well as the beacons of the boats that were close to the area where they disappeared that night.

Finding the positioning of Tomás' mobile to put the hours and his last movements in order is key to the progress of the investigations.

The agents are locating all the boats that sailed through the area to analyze the routes and identify possible witnesses.

To do this, agents of the technical team of the Central Operational Unit (UCO) of the Civil Guard traveled to the

Canary Islands

.

This team 'guts' all the technical devices in the area - mobile phone antennas, switchboards and security cameras at the port and on the highways to cross data and add evidence to the investigation.

At the same time, the researchers are analyzing the samples found in Tomás Gimeno's house -mainly in the bathroom- where he remained for at least two hours before he was last seen in the port transporting packages and suitcases from his car to the ship in which He disappeared.

Until there, he arrived with the girls from their parents' house.

That is why researchers focus on this time segment to seal the contours of their inquiries.

The Civil Guard keeps all the hypotheses open although, at this moment and according to sources close to the investigation, the one that Tomás could have fled is the one that has the least force.

The last time Tomás Gimeno was seen was at 11.30pm on Tuesday going into the ocean with his pleasure boat.

Two hours earlier, a camera at the Marina de Tenerife marina captured him transporting packages and suitcases from his car to the ship.

He should have returned Anna and Olivia to their ex-wife Beatriz at 9:00 p.m. but he didn't.

Instead of taking them home, and to Beatriz's insistent calls, he told her that he would never see the girls again.

The characteristics of the case made the Civil Guard classify it as a high risk from the beginning.

The agents found Tomás' boat empty and adrift in an area with a depth between 400 and 1,000 meters that makes it impossible for the

Underwater Activities Group (GAS)

of the Armed Institute to

dive

.

On the surface, they found Anna's maxi-cosi.

In addition, the agents also analyze Tomás' bank movements to determine if he had money the previous days and if those withdrawals, if any, were made individually or would be related to the agricultural company of his family where he worked.

They work with the certainty that it was "usual" for the man to handle certain amounts of money between bank accounts given the solvency of the family business in which he worked.

Tomás and Beatriz separated in August of last year and in December she claimed that the father of her daughters had verbally threatened her.

However, at the last minute he decided not to file the complaint.

The Civil Guard, however, decided to monitor it ex officio.

Last March, the agents contacted the woman again and asked her if the threats had been repeated.

She told them no.

Tomás picked up his daughters on Tuesday at 5:00 p.m.

He arranged for Beatriz to take them back at 9:00 p.m.

The man was with the girls at their parents' house until 7:30 p.m.

During that time, he spoke several times on the phone with Beatriz.

Since he arrived at his chalet from his parents' house with his young daughters until the security cameras capture him in the Santa Cruz Marina, there is no record of his movements.

At 9:30 p.m., the port cameras recorded him alone, without Anna and Olivia, carrying suitcases and packages from his car to the pleasure boat he owned.

Tomás then made a first voyage to the high seas.

Beatriz had called him half an hour before.

He told her that he had taken the girls to dinner and would take them with him later.

Then he warned her that he would never see them again and later reassured her.

Tomás returned from the high seas at 11:30 p.m. and went to a gas station to buy tobacco and a charger for his mobile.

Later, he asked the port guard to charge his cell phone.

Tomás went back into the sea and there he lost track of it.

Well into the morning, he sent messages to his family and friends in a farewell tone, according to sources in the investigation.

Earlier, around 1:30 am, he had spoken with Beatriz in a calm tone, which made the woman calm down and think that her daughters were sleeping at Tomás's house and that the next day he would return them to her.

When it had not yet dawned, it was Tomás's relatives and friends who alerted Beatriz.

They informed him that the man had sent them goodbye messages.

At 06:00 on Wednesday, the girls' mother went to the Civil Guard to report the events.

.

Tomás went back into the sea and there he lost his track.
