Virginia Guerrero and Manuela Torres were two Spanish teenage girls who went missing on 23 April 1992 in Reinosa, Spain. Virginia Guerrero and Manuela Torres were 14 and 13 years old respectively and were apparently hitch-hiking from Reinosa to their hometown of Aguilar de Campoo when they disappeared. Their case remains unsolved.[1]
Last known activities
On the afternoon of 23 April 1992, the two girls apparently took a train to Reinosa (a small town located 32 kilometres (20 mi) north of Aguilar de Campoo) to go to a nightclub. When the party was over, it is believed that they decided to hitch-hike home because no trains were running at night. The last person known to have seen the girls was a woman from Aguilar de Campoo, who was leaving Reinosa in her car to return home when she saw the girls get into a white car on the main street in Reinosa.[1][2]
Investigation
Police followed leads in both Spain and France, but were unable to break the case. On 9 October 1994, two bags containing human bones were found in the countryside near the Requejada dam, (a few kilometres north-west of Aguilar de Campóo), but forensic investigations ruled out the possibility of them belonging to the girls: instead, they belonged to unknown victims of the Spanish Civil War, which was waged between 1936 and 1939.
