Decomposed Body near Son Banya: Why a Person's Disappearance Remained Invisible for So Long

Answer

Why can a person go unnoticed for so long in Mallorca’s abandoned buildings?

In neglected places, people can remain unseen if there are no regular checks, little social presence, and weak coordination between services. In areas like the road to Llucmajor near Son Banya, derelict buildings and rubbish can make it easier for a death to go unnoticed for a long time.
