Police find body of little boy whose disappearance 12 days ago has had Spain in turmoil

Spain has been literally turned over during the past twelve days with everyone looking for eight-year-old Gabriel Cruz, who disappeared in Almería in the south of the country while walking from his own home to his grandparents' house nearby. Now, his stepmother Ana Julia Quezada Cruz has been detained. It was she who found a T-shirt later confirmed to be Gabriel's, but she claimed to have found it in an area that police knew had already been combed thoroughly by officers and sniffer dogs. They didn't believe it could have been there to begin with, and that simple fact put Ana Julia firmly in the picture as someone who needed to be watched.

This morning, the Guardia Civil stopped her while she was driving, and found the child's body in the boot of her car. She had been on TV, in press conferences, "grieving" with her husband, the child's father. Now there will be an investigation to establish quite what involvement she might have had in his death, though clearly suspicions are strong that her involvement was of the most horrific kind. Meanwhile, the little boy's distraught mother has been personally called by the Spanish ministro del Interior (Home Secretary), Juan Ignacio Zoido, who has expressed a shock probably felt by the whole country. On 11M (see HERE), Spain has another reason to grieve.

I can't find an English link, sorry! THIS is El Pais.

What a fucking evil bitch. I hope when they lock her up they throw the key away.

According to El País this morning, the police are now investigating an odd accident from her past. She was in charge of two small children when one of them died after falling out of a window. It was declared an accident, but neighbours and police were unable to explain how a small child had been able to get to the window. Pure speculation of course.
