DNA
tests
carried out on the body found in the Toledo town of
Casarrubios del Monte
a week ago have confirmed that it is
Isabel del Castillo
, the Alzheimer's patient
who disappeared in Navalcarnero in August
, the Civil Guard reported on Tuesday.
The body of the 57-year-old woman was found by a resident of Casarrubios
in a rural area
between the municipality's aerodrome and the Calypo Fado urbanization, less than 10 kilometers from the last trail left by Isabel.
The neighbor of Navalcarnero
was captured by a city council video surveillance camera
when she was walking towards a roundabout located at one of the exits of the town, for which a large fence of land located in the direction towards which Isabel was heading at that time was beaten numerous times by family, neighbors and volunteers for over a month.

In addition, the Civil Guard coordinated on the 6th a device in which
some 250 people
participated to find the whereabouts of the neighbor of Navalcarnero, a pioneering deployment with the use of the Alertcops application.
The
main hypothesis
that is handled is that Isabel became disoriented due to the illness she suffered from and died a few hours after having wandered through rural roads.
