Cars are a clue in triple disappearance mystery POLICE have launched a major investigation after three women disappeared recently in similar circumstances in the Spanish region of Asturias. All went missing within a fortnight and the only clue is that each left behind their cars, in all cases found at locations they had no known connection with. None of the women had any reason that was known of to leave and they were all of similar age. 40-year-old Lorena Torre went missing from Gijon early this month and her car was later found parked near a beach. The next day Concepcion Barbeira went missing from Aviles after leaving to go to work and her car turned up the

same day at Santa Maria del Mar. In February 43-year-old Paz Borrego from Gijon failed to show up at work and her vehicle was found at a nearby hospital. No trace or sightings of the three have been reported other than hoax callers. There is no known connection between the women and, although Lorena Torre is understood to be the niece of a former Spanish Industry Minister, they are seen as fairly ordinary women with no history of any such incidences. The Guardia Civil have said that they are keeping an open mind and are reluctant to make any official connection between the three cases, fearing this may muddy the investigative waters.
