Members of the Valente family spent the day of Monica Silva’s disappearance in Murtos in different ways. Manuel, Fernando’s father (the only defendant in the case, under house arrest for the murder and desecration of the body of a 7-month pregnant woman), spent the afternoon of October 3 in an Aveiro hospital. He went to the emergency room because he felt severe pain in his left elbow and went alone. Early in the evening he was discharged from the hospital and returned to Murtosa. At this time, around 19:00, Manuel’s mobile phone was turned off. In an hour, Fernando Valente’s son’s equipment will be switched off for his proposed night meeting with Monica Silva. While his father was in the emergency room, Fernando spent the day helping his mother at the house in Mourtos. The same house that a week later was sold for about 200 thousand euros and was not searched by Aveiro police searching for the body of 33-year-old Monica, killed because she was pregnant with a child. . His family did not accept this. Murtosa’s mystery reminds us of the cases of Joana and Maddie, two missing children in the Algarve. Their bodies never showed up, and this is not due to a lack of effort on the part of the authorities. It is likely that Monica Silva’s story will have a similar outcome. All attempts to locate the body, some of which were doomed to failure, such as diving at the mouth of Aveiro, were unsuccessful. Without a confession from the perpetrator, the body will only be discovered by miracle. In the case of Joana, two people were convicted; in the case of Maddie, they are still looking for the culprits. As for Monica, from what is known, and especially from what is unknown, the outcome is not at all clear.
