Search for the body of Marta del Castillo, forensic experts Start same place as last year in 2009

Police have begun searching for the body of Marta del Castillo near the family home of former boyfriend, and confessed murderer, Michael C., who was living with them, located near the place that was searched in September 2009.

The new search, ordered by the Audiencia of Seville, has been approved by the testimonies of residents of Camas (Sevilla), which stated when Marta disappeared in January 2009, storm channelling work was being carried out the time right next to where she was murdered and could have been a good site for her body to be buried there.

Once the rain stopped today and the sun has risen, two machines have begun to remove the earth soaked by the rains of recent months in the Cano Ronco Camas to comply with the court order. The site is around eighty feet long and a depth of two to three metres.
The search takes place in the presence of judicial police officers and the Police Intervention Unit. They are also looking for the body of the child in a pit nearby. A police spokesperson said a nearby paddock is also of interest to them.

The search in the area of Caño Ronco, which will continue for "two or three days," police said, has been ordered by the judge investigating the case, but the Audiencia of Seville recognizes that the chances of finding the body are "remote."

Martha's grandfather, Antonio Casanueva, was at the search site and expressed his hope that this time he will see the body of his granddaughter.

This search is probably the last chance to find the body of the young girl according to her grandfather, who last week was in the Caño Ronco looking for her granddaughter with the help of a dowser.

Marta del Castillo has been searched so far in the Guadalquivir River, where the confessor said the had dumped her, in his first statement, and then changed his story and police looked at the site of Alcala de Guadaira.
