Answer

Why can missing-person cases in Mallorca be harder to solve when someone has few fixed contacts?

Cases can become difficult when a person lives without a permanent address, changes accommodation often, or has only limited local contacts. In Mallorca in the 1980s, language barriers, paper-based records and slower communication made it even easier for someone to disappear from view.
