My 91 year old great-aunt was found dead in her home on 19th April. The police entered her apartment in central Madrid because the neighbours called them about a smell coming from her apartment. The report says it wasn't possible to identify her physically, and so they need a family member (her sister, my other aunt) to formally identify her. I found this odd, because they already know it's her, they called another aunt who lives in Chile and let her know today. They sent a report saying she had been dead for month(s) and someone mentioned that she'd died of a heart attack, although I couldn ..read more

This is from a case with a suspiciously vague narrative. In a recent hearing, a key aspect of the presented narrative was disproven. It was one I never trusted and was always skeptical of bc it left the door open to other interpretations in a very indirect way that seemed to deliberately lead to a conclusion that they also seemed to be avoiding stating as fact. So now I’m curious about all sorts of details & noticed this discrepancy, which might be insignificant, but I know that standards for report-phrasing can be very precise, so I’m wondering if this yields some specialized info o ..read more
