During the 80s there were two child disappearences that shocked Spain and that, to this day, haven't been solved.
The first one took place on June 25, 1986. That day, Juan Pedro Martínez Gómez was travelling with his parents in his father's tank truck, when the truck had a terrible accident. Juan Pedro's parents died that day, but inexplicable, Juan Pedro was never found, dead or alive. The first hypothesis of the police was that the body of the boy had been dissolved in the acid that filled the broken tank of the trunk. But this explanation was proven impossible. Where was the kid then?

The accident had been caused by the excessive speed of the truck, suicidal in the way down, reaching even 140 km/h. But even more strange, the analysis of the tacograph revealed that, on the way up, the truck had stopped 12 stops in less than 20 km, several of only 1 or 2 seconds, and the longest of half a minute.
Approximately one year later, in a new search in the truck remains, the police found illegal drugs. That brought up the most plausible hypothesis: the truck was carrying the drugs from the origin or from some point in the middle of the trip. The former possibility, that it was in the truck from the origin, is more likely, as the drug was found in a hidden space surrounded by acid. The 12 stops could be explained by an other vehicle (some witnesses stated that after the accident, a white van stopped and the passangers approached the truck), stopping them. One of the longest stops could be explained by the drug dealers stopping the truck to didnap the kid, as a "warranty".
Less than one year after the disappearence of Juan Pedro, David Guerrero Guevara, known as the "painter child", disappeared in Málaga, tenía 13 años cuando, el 6 de abril de 1987, never to be seen again. He was going to a gallery where one of his paintings was shown among paintings of recognized local artists. He was officially last seen walking to the bus stop only 250 m from his home. He never arrived to the gallery or to the painting lesson he was supossed to attend later. But that day the Queen of Spain was visiting Malaga, how could be a kid kidnapped in broad daylight?
There were only a few leads, but the most promising was one that involed a Swiss national, that was very similar to an sketch that the missing kid had given as a present to a classmate:

In the end of 2019, this sketch reappeared in the most unexpected way: the classmate that had given the sketch to the police in 1987 found it in her mailbox, a sketch that should have been in police possession. Also, some anonymous notes have been recived by the family in the last months. The brother, together with a journalist, made a new investigation, and found witnessess stating that he had not only visited the gallery, but that he had even arrived to the place where the painting lesson was taking place, the club El Cenachero. But he never attended the lesson, so he would have disappeared there.
