ANABEL Segura's 900-day disappearance is Spain's longest reported kidnapping case.

Candido "Candi" Ortiz Aon was one of the two main perpetrators involved in the kidnapping -- here's what we know about him.

Along with his associate Emilio Muñoz Guadix, Candido Ortiz Aon carried out the kidnapping of 22-year-old Anabel Segura on April 12, 1993.

They abducted her while she was jogging in La Moraleja, an affluent area of Madrid, Spain.

The two men grabbed her at knifepoint and forced her into their van.

Anabel's kidnapping quickly gained national attention.

A massive manhunt to locate the missing woman was launched by authorities, as well as a prolonged investigation to apprehend her kidnappers.

Ortiz Aon and Muñoz Guadix contacted Anabel's family and made demands.

A tense period of negotiations followed, that would ultimately last an agonizing 900 days until the discovery of her body.

Although her kidnappers continued to demand ransom money for years, Anabel was killed just six hours after she vanished.

Between 1993 and 1995, the kidnappers made 14 calls and reportedly demanded up to 150 million pesetas (€900,000) from Anabel's family.

In an effort to raise funds for the ransom and to offer a reward for information leading to Anabel's safe return, her parents mortgaged their home.

The Spanish Interior Ministry also offered a reward.

A recording the kidnappers claimed to be of Anabel's voice was received by her family, but it ultimately turned out to be fake.

The recording was made by a female accomplice of the kidnappers called Felicia Garcia.

The recording said: ''I want to be home with you... I really want to see you all. This is what you have to do to end this quickly. See you later, Daddy. Goodbye Mummy. Sister, I love you very much. Goodbye.''

Anabels parents had the ransom money ready within two days, but it was never collected.

Her body was finally discovered at an abandoned warehouse on September 30, 1995 -- the case became known as the longest kidnapping in Spanish history.

Three arrests were made, in part due to the involvement of the media.

Police released a recording of one of the kidnapper's voices on TV, which led to crucial information being provided by the public.

A tip-off from a member of the public led police to Candido Ortiz Aon, Emilio Muñoz Guadix and Felisa Garcia, after they recognized one of their voices from the TV appeal.

Following their arrests on September 28, 1995, they were detained in a village in the Toledo province.

The suspects led police to Anabel's remains, which were discovered in an abandoned warehouse near Toledo -- about 40 miles south of Madrid.

At a busy press conference on the day of the discovery of her body, the Segura family lawyer, said: ''Anabel's parents are not dominated by hate but they want the full weight of the law and justice against the kidnappers and killers of Anabel.''

The Spanish Supreme Court sentenced Ortiz Aon and Muñoz Guadix to 43 years in prison each for their roles in the kidnapping and murder.

Netflix is set to release a groundbreaking docuseries called 900 Days Without Anabel.

It promises to offer an unprecedented look into the Anabel Segura case and features never-before-heard recordings of negotiations between the police and the kidnappers.

The series also includes re-enactments and testimonies from Anabel's relatives, investigators and experts.

The three-part documentary series will be available on Netflix from November 22, 2024.
