The kidnapping and murder of Anabel Segura, a 22-year-old college student happened on 12 April 1993. Segura was kidnapped by Emilio Muñoz Guadix with the help of his friend, Candido "Candi" Ortiz Aon while she was jogging in La Moraleja, Madrid, Spain. Segura was held captive in an abandoned factory in Numancia de la Sagra, Toledo. Segura tried to escape, but did not succeed. She was strangled to death and buried on the grounds of the abandoned factory.[1][2]
On numerous occasions, Ortiz and Muñoz asked for money in exchange for Segura's false release, however, the kidnappers never went to the meeting points for the ransom money.[2] Three months later, in July 1993, Muñoz and Ortiz sent the family a tape recording in which the supposed voice of Segura could be heard, who said she was fine while crying out to be taken out of there. But in reality, it was the voice of Felisa Garcia, Muñoz's wife.[2]
On 28 September 1995, Muñoz and Ortiz were captured and confessed to the kidnapping and murder of Segura, as well as the location of her body. Muñoz's wife, García, was also arrested for pretending to be Segura in the tape. In 1999, Muñoz and Ortiz were sentenced to 43 years in prison.[3]
Segura's kidnapping received extensive media coverage and made headline news, it was a case that "shocked Spanish society". The case was monitored by the media for two years after the "kidnapping".[4]
