An RTVE reporter unknowingly recorded this Monday the body of a person between the carriages of a moving train at the entrance to the Santa Justa train station, in the area where the police continued their search for the young man from Córdoba, Álvaro Prieto. , missing since last October 12 in Seville.

The Police have confirmed that the body's clothing would match the description of how the 18-year-old boy, who lost track of him at the San Justa station where he had missed the train back to Córdoba after spending a night, was dressed. partying in the capital of Seville. We will have to wait for the results of the autopsy to know if, as everything indicates, the young man died on this train.

It was this morning when the terrible discovery occurred in a regional a little less than a kilometer from the Santa Justa station. The vehicle was stopped near the Carmona Highway Bridge, in an Adif maintenance area where, apparently, the UME troops have recovered the body from the bottom of the convoy and the body has been transferred to the Institute of Legal Medicine of Seville.

According to information from Renfe, the train in which the body appeared would be a medium-distance train that runs between the provinces of Cádiz, Córdoba and Jaén or an Avant that links Seville with the provinces of Málaga and Granada.

In the area, which was searched yesterday by investigators, there is now a large device made up of agents from the Local and National Police and members of the Military Emergency Unit.

It was last Thursday, a national holiday, when the young man was trying to return home after a night out with some friends in Seville. Álvaro sent a message to his mother at 07:22 a.m. informing her that he was going to the station to catch the return train, but he did not arrive on time and missed it. With no battery in his cell phone and no cash, he tried to sneak into another one heading to Barcelona that stopped in Córdoba, but security personnel detected him and prevented him from traveling without a ticket.

An hour later, a witness claimed to have seen him on this public road. Since then, there has been no trace of the footballer despite the raids carried out by his friends and colleagues around the station. Nobody knows anything about the young man.

The parents, frightened by not having news of him, decided the same Thursday to travel to Seville to file a report for the disappearance of their son. Since then, he hasn't stopped looking.

After the news of the discovery of a person's body between two cars of a train in Santa Justa was announced today, the Córdoba Football Club remained cautious early this morning. "Total uncertainty," a member of the team explained to this newspaper, "we are waiting, we don't know what is happening," they tell us, but "we are a team, never better said."

Today it was thought that some boys would return to the capital of Seville to do another raid but, for now, the group has not left. Everyone remains in Córdoba waiting for the Police to provide more information about this terrible discovery.

However, the Club confirmed the sad news early this afternoon through its social networks, and announced that it will make an official statement respecting the wishes of Álvaro's family.
