The Civil Guard is investigating whether charred human remains discovered in Oliva, Valencia, belong to Beatriz Guijarro, a 28-year-old mother who vanished 54 days ago. The body was found by hikers on Wednesday in the mountainous area of La Creu, located in the upper part of Oliva's old town. The discovery occurred just 500 meters from the last known location where Beatriz was seen, reopening what authorities had previously classified as a high-vulnerability disappearance case.
Forensic examination indicates the remains belong to a female, based on skull and pelvic characteristics, though advanced carbonization has complicated immediate identification. Investigators noted the proximity to Beatriz's last known whereabouts and the discovery of what appears to be burned backpack remnants near the body - an accessory Beatriz was carrying the night she disappeared. These factors have led investigators to strongly suspect the remains belong to the missing woman, though official confirmation awaits dental and DNA analysis through autopsy.
The body's charred condition likely resulted from an intentional wildfire that swept through the mountain area on September 4, nearly a month after Beatriz's disappearance. According to local reports, the fire was allegedly set by an Oliva resident involved in a property dispute with another man. Authorities indicate this arson appears unrelated to Beatriz's disappearance, suggesting the fire incidentally affected remains already present at the location.
Beatriz, known as Bea to friends and family, was last seen in the early hours of August 9 after returning to her mother's home where she lived with her two children. Security cameras captured her at local bars that night, but she vanished after changing clothes and leaving home again. Her partner, Juanjo, who has cooperated fully with investigators, described her behavior that evening as completely normal without signs of distress. The difficult terrain where the body was found required police to access the site on foot with specialized equipment as the investigation continues.
