In search of the DNA of Antonio Anglés: the Alcàsser case revives 30 years later to prevent it from prescribing

On November 13, it was exactly 30 years since the disappearance of the Alcàsser girls.

Miriam, Toñi and Desirée left their homes that day in the Valencian municipality of

to go to the nightclub in a nearby town,

, just over 3 kilometers and five minutes by car.

He would not hear from them again until 75 days later, when their bodies were found in a mountainous area after having been raped, tortured and murdered.

The case not only marked an entire generation of women, who experienced sexual terror for the first time when the focus was on some adolescents who had hitchhiked, and whose echoes still reach our days.

Alcàsser also inaugurated a new chapter in television history, the one we know today as trash TV.

But, above all, the triple crime is still alive 30 years later because nothing is known about one of the main suspects:

.

Although his friend

was sentenced in 1997 to 170 years in prison - he was released in 2013 under the Parot doctrine - it is believed that Anglés managed to escape.

And the truth is that he has remained outside the margins until today, because his whereabouts are unknown or even if he is already dead.

On the judicial horizon there is a date marked in red: 2029. It is the year in which the facts will prescribe and, therefore, the year in which a case should be considered closed that, however, keeps a separate piece open for the search for the prime suspect.

De Anglés, who became a fugitive after managing to escape from his house in Catarroja when the

came to arrest him, there was speculation that he could have died after boarding an Irish ship as a stowaway.

The mystery continues to surround his disappearance, when in reality "there is not a single forensic indication that links him to the scene of the crime of the Alcàsser girls," says

.

This criminologist is the founder of the

, which a little over a year ago decided to appear as a public prosecutor in the Alcàsser case with the precise aim of helping to shed light on what happened.

His are the requests to reanalyze evidence found at the scene of the crime with which to obtain some trace of DNA that allows Anglés to be directly connected to the kidnapping, rape and murder of the three adolescents in a mansion in

, in the municipality of

(Valencia).

Some investigative proceedings that the judge himself has authorized and that have reactivated the Alcàsser case.

Ricart pointed to Anglés in his day as the architect of everything.

However, "except for Ricart's testimony, there is no genetic trace that links Anglés to La Romana," Ríos insists.

The review of evidence such as hair, the underwear of the adolescents or the carpet that covered their corpses when they were found in a grave in La Romana pursues precisely this, so that Anglés could be accused in the hypothetical case that he appears one day.

According to the criminologist, "currently there are more modern techniques for obtaining DNA."

In other words, the research carried out in the 1990s had technical limitations that have nothing to do with current forensic techniques, which could lead to enlightening results.

Ríos points, in fact, to the recent progress in the investigation of the case of Helena Jubany, whose body was thrown from the roof of a

building in 2001. It has not been until now when DNA traces have been found in the clothes that the young woman was wearing that day.

In the case of Alcàsser's crime, recent analyzes have not yet allowed us to get out of the apparent impasse.

That is to say, it has been impossible to find any trace of DNA in the more than a hundred samples obtained in the cars of Ricart and Anglés.

The Civil Guard obtained numerous hairs from the

of the first - with which the kidnapping of the girls was theoretically produced - and from the

in which the second moved.

However, the results were not conclusive.

"If we were talking about a single test, I would not be optimistic about the results of the investigation," explains the criminologist, "because it is difficult to obtain traces of DNA in something that has been poorly stored in a warehouse for 30 years."

"But we have asked for a list of tests and it would be difficult if we did not find anything," says Ríos.

Laxshmi has also requested the revision of a paper that appeared in the La Romana grave, and from which only a numerical shadow was extracted in its day.

It could be an entrance to the nightclub, but it will have to be certified by a laboratory specialized in documentoscopy in another review of the case with today's eyes.
