• 'Ángeles Alvariño' The ship that found Olivia will leave Tenerife tomorrow

  • Profile The Civil Guard investigated the crime in Tenerife as "the revenge of a cellopath"

Tomás Gimeno

calculated to the last detail his plan to, according to the judge and the Civil Guard, "kill"

Anna and Olivia

and found a place that he knew was not only inaccessible but practically ungovernable.

The filicide searched for a ship dump, a deep and inhospitable area off the coast of Tenerife used for this purpose due to its deep draft.

But Gimeno did not count on precisely one of these old ships going to make the discovery of Olivia possible.

The anchor with which he weighed his eldest daughter and presumably Anna after putting them in two sports bags, got caught in one of these old boats.

In this way, their location was less complicated than if the bags had been deposited on the seabed.

The area that the geolocations marked as the possible scene where Gimeno threw his daughters into the sea has been used as a cemetery for ships for many years and he was aware of that.

The investigators maintain that, for this reason, they thought that there they would never find them aware that any search that was not with the transoceanic ship - Gimeno did not know it - would be unsuccessful.

In fact, it is the first time that the vessel of

the National Institute of Oceanography has been used

for this purpose.

It was the agents of the Tenerife Civil Guard who had to convince the magistrate to move the ship from Galicia despite its high cost.

To do this, they presented him with an exhaustive report that revolved around his indications to enable the arrival of the ship with sonar despite the fact that they did not have too many expectations of finding evidence.

The fact that the anchor was stuck in a sunken boat has undoubtedly played in favor of the search, and the agents have that very much in mind.

However, without sonar it would have been impossible to locate Olivia.

Olivia, six, and her sister Anna, one.

As for Anna, the prospects of finding her fade with the passing of the hours.

The same happens with Tomás Gimeno, who according to suspicions, could commit suicide on the high seas.

Technicians from the

Central Operational Unit

(UCO) located the last signal on her mobile about 20 kilometers from the place where Olivia was found.

Moving the route of the transoceanic ship there is a very complicated task.

Hence, it is practically impossible to find him.

The

Angels Alvariño

hurries his last hours in Tenerife since Thursday will end 19 days of intense and fruitful, tracking and return to

Galicia

.

On June 7, the sonar located Gimeno's duvet cover and compressed air bottle.

The ship was scheduled to leave the next day but the entity of the findings prolonged its stay.

Three days later, Olivia appeared.

The next 17 will be his last day on the island.
