Well this evening, the worst fears were confirmed as what is believed to be the body of the 37 year old Spaniard was found dead in some bushes in a part of the island town known as the Southern airstrip Area.

The body was found hidden under a verandah stuffed in some bushes. The specific area is off an alley that connects coconut drive and the beach side near to a bar called "Crazy Canuck".

Foul play is suspected and a post mortem was being conducted onsite this evening.

Police believe she was killed sometime on Sunday 31st October after 10:00 in the morning which is when she was last seen. Here's the sequence of events:

She arrived in San Pedro on Friday the 29th October and registered as a guest at Hotel Corona Del Mar. She was seen Sunday 31st October, at 7:26am having breakfast in the same hotel dressed in a white blouse and ¾ pants. From there she went to the San Pedro Airstrip to check in for her flight from San Pedro back to the Phillip Goldson International - where she would then reconnect with the Maya Island Regional Flight back to Guatemala. That was around 10:00 am. But she never turned up for that flight and at 7:00 on Sunday night when she did not show up for the Maya Island Regional flight to Guatemala she was reported missing.
