A disturbing disappearance and improbable proof
In November 2023, a 33-year-old Cuban man living in Spain was reported missing after his family received particularly strange messages. The missing man, who came to look for his wife in the Soria region, discovered that she was having a romantic affair with a neighborManuel Isla Gallardo, nicknamed “The Wolf of Tajueco”. Just that.
The turning point of the investigation, and somewhat surprising, is a disturbing image captured by a Google Street View car in Tajuecoshowing a man handling a large white plastic bag in the trunk of a red car, which is indeed a bit questionable. This evidence pointed investigators towards Manuel, owner of a bar in Bayubas de Arriba.
Human remains discovered in cemetery
After months of investigation, the police found human remains on December 11 in the Romanesque cemetery of Andaluz, a small village of 20 inhabitants. The dismembered body included a torso, but many parts were missing. The remains were entrusted to the Institute of Forensic Medicine of Soria for analysis. Everything seems to come together.
The authorities assume that the victim is indeed the missing Cubaneven if the state of decomposition complicates formal identification. The cemetery is closed to the public while the investigation continues, but it is making progress.
A crime motivated by a love triangle
Investigations revealed that the victim confronted his wife about her affair with Manuel, which allegedly led to a premeditated murder. The two suspects, the woman and her lover, are accused of murder or manslaughter. They are detained in Soria and Zuera prisons respectively. A fairly banal story of a husband being killed in the end, but this photo on Google Maps makes it all completely improbable.
A shock for neighboring villages
This affair caused shock waves in the villages of Tajueco, Bayubas de Arriba and Andaluz, where residents describe their community as calm and peaceful. The unexpected role of Google Maps in the investigation inevitably fueled local discussionsneighbors remembering Manuel as a solitary and discreet man.
