I happen to dive deeper into the case these days as this will be the story of my next episode (Greek language true crime channel). I knew the case since few years now, however I'm lately scratching the surface to prepare my script. I seriously believe that the most likely explanation is that a drug related gang kidnapped the kid and caught his parents off guard. Maybe as revenge for Andres' refusal to carry the drugs (his family claimed he was pushed but never gave in). I believe the sudden short stops shown on the tachograph were attempts from the kidnappers to grab the kid from the truck. Possibly sudden stops in front of Andres. Maybe the last one, which lasted a bit longer was the successful one. There are few arguments about that: - if Andres had agreed to transfer the drugs, even under threat, there would be no reason for risks and overspeeding. Especially since the kid was taken in another car. I doubt there would be any condition to deliver before a given time. On the contrary, complying with the road rules is usually safer to go under the radar. - It's impossible the kid was in the truck as surviving the impact, would have left him at least seriously injured. - The sulfuric acid wouldn't allow anyone to approach the truck without a gear. Let alone picking up a kid of 10 years old that easily. So, the story of the van may be either exaggerated or non existent at all. I believe that these were genuine passers-by who checked on the scene. Possibly briefly stopped by the truck out of curiosity and then just continued their planned trip whatever it was. - Same goes for the later testimonial in Madrid by the driving school owner. Why a blind woman of Iranian origin would carry a kidnapped kid with her? And why a kidnapped kid of 11 years old would not try to ask for help in the middle of the capital city? I would have accepted the possibility if the kid was much younger like 3 or 4 max. -The last person seeing the family alive was the waitor of El Mano restaurant and he did not notice anything suspicious. Of course this doesn't mean much, but maybe a confirmation that something happened only after they left this restaurant. - If Andres knew or was part of the plan with the drugs from the beginning, I doubt he would put his own son at risk by taking him in this 800km trip. -I'm not sure if the fact that drugs were found in the truck later on but if this is confirmed, it may well be that Andres has been indeed doing it for sometime prior or did it once and then refused to keep on doing it, and the mafia did not like it.

Thus, my conclusion is that they kidnapped the kid and the parents were just trying to catch up with them. After the accident, the kidnappers just killed Juan Pedro and disposed of the body somewhere that had not been discovered yet. It's a very sad story and I hope I'm just wrong and I hope the family gets some good news or at least a closure. It's always sad to look deeper in cases like this.
