Podría ser la turista



This news will not have reached the states as it is local but something very sad happened in Lloret today. A young girl who had been missing since July 1st was found in a field near my home. She was a 23 year old Italian girl who was last seen by her friends at 2:30 a.m. leaving a club.

Joan and I were driving down the usual road we take to go home when we saw the police tape and news cameras along the road. Immediately we knew it was this girl. We later checked the internet where we found this article. Now we are watching the story on the news. What is most disturbing to me is that Joan and I have driven past that field everyday since the day she was missing; and she was right there. How very sad. To be so excited to go on vacation with your friends....no one knows the exact story but police are investigating and now they have suspects in custody.

I reallyworry about the tourists here sometimes, girls going out with any guy they meet, bars mixing very strong alcohols(that they sometimes make themselves) and selling shots of these concoctions for 1 €, making it easy for men to slip drugs to girls drinks. I hope her killer is brought to justice.


Her friends and family will be in my prayers and I hope yours too.
