Valencia find: When a person remains unnoticed for 15 years — Lessons for Mallorca

Answer

Why can someone go unnoticed for years in Mallorca?

A person can be missed for a long time when they live alone, have little contact with neighbours or family, and their regular payments keep going automatically. In Mallorca, seasonal homes, tourist-heavy buildings and busy apartment blocks can make it easier for absence to pass without alarm. The problem is usually not one single failure, but a mix of isolation, routine and weak checks.
