Anabel was taken to an abandoned factory in Toledo, where she was tragically murdered within six hours of her kidnapping.
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
Segura family lawyer
Her kidnappers continued to demand ransom for years afterward, making 14 calls between 1993 and 1995, reportedly demanding up to 150million pesetas (€900,000).
What happened to José Segura Nájera and Sigrid Foles?
Throughout the 900-day kidnapping investigation, José and Sigrid never gave up hope of finding their daughter alive.
The family’s ordeal finally came to an end on September 28, 1995, when Muñoz Guadix and Ortiz Aon were arrested after a member of the public recognised the latter’s voice from televised recordings of the ransom calls.
The kidnappers confessed to the crime and revealed the location of Anabel’s body.
The suspects led police to Anabel’s remains in an abandoned warehouse near Toledo, about 40 miles south of Madrid — allowing her family to finally hold a funeral for their daughter.

Understandably, the bereft couple stayed out of the public glare in the aftermath of the gruesome discovery, and there are no reports of where they are or what they’re up to now.
The family lawyer, who attended a busy press conference on the day of the discovery of her body, 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.”
One of the killers died in prison, the other was set free
Ortiz Aon and Muñoz Guadix were sentenced to 43 years in prison each for their roles in the kidnapping and murder by the Spanish Supreme Court.
In 2009, Ortiz Aon died in prison at the age of 48.
However, following a ruling by the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) that affected the application of Spain’s Parot doctrine, Muñoz Guadix was released from prison on November 27, 2013.

The Parot doctrine was a 2006 Spanish legal ruling that changed how prison sentences were determined for serious offenders.
It effectively extending prison terms by applying reductions to each individual crime rather than the overall sentence.
Muñoz Guadix was released after this controversial practice was deemed a human rights violation and abandoned in 2013.
