TFD – Join us as we uncover the baffling disappearance of Ana Maria Knezevic in Madrid. As investigations span across continents, the truth behind her vanishing act remains elusive.
Madrid — In December, Ana Maria Knezevic left South Florida and went to Spain to spend some time alone. The naturalized American, who was born in Colombia, is reportedly going through a difficult divorce from her Serbian spouse, according to her family and friends, but the trip was also an opportunity to see new countries.
She disappeared two weeks ago, soon after a man donning a motorbike helmet sprayed the lenses of the security cameras at her Madrid apartment building, rendering them inoperable. The 40-year-old sent two pals separate texts the following day, one in Spanish and one in English, from her phone announcing that she was going away for a few days with a man she had just met.
She wouldn’t act in this way because it is really dangerous and bizarre. It wouldn’t be her. She wouldn’t do that,” said Sanna Rameau, the friend who got the English text. It was written, she said, in an emotionless style that wasn’t Ana’s. The Spanish message was so flat it appeared to have been written in English and run through Google Translate, she said.
As stated by Rameau to The Associated Press, “It just didn’t make sense.”
Additionally, Rameau noted that she is less than the 4-foot-11-inch height stated on her driver’s license. The companion remarked, “I can carry her away and lift her up with one arm.”
After receiving information, police in Fort Lauderdale and Madrid opened investigations on opposite sides of the Atlantic. Regarding the status of the search, both agencies are remaining silent and refusing to comment. Additionally, the US embassy in Madrid declined to comment.
According to spokesman Joaquin Amills, the Missing Persons Association of Spain has displayed Knezevic’s photo across the capital city but has not got any feedback.
After 13 years of marriage, David and Ana Knezevic founded EOX Technology Solutions Inc., a company that provides computer support to South Florida companies. According to public records, their holdings also include two other Fort Lauderdale residences, one of which is presently undergoing foreclosure.
According to a source, Juan Henao, Ana’s brother, described the divorce as “nasty” during an interview with a Fort Lauderdale investigator.
The story said that David is not thrilled with the fact that a sizable sum of money is at stake for the two to share.
We don’t know David Knezevic’s current whereabouts.
Henao informed the police that he thought his brother-in-law had visited Serbia in January. Henao texted David after Ana vanished to find out if he knew where she was. After asking, “What’s up?” he revealed to Henao what he already knew—that Ana was missing. Henao answered, “Nothing else besides that.”
Henao expressed his hope that the global attention will make Ana’s location a top police priority in a brief phone chat.
“Simply keep putting in the effort and see if that motivates them to assist us in finding my sister,” he remarked.
At the Knezevics’ Fort Lauderdale house, where the cars are coated in dust and mud and the mailbox is overflowing, nobody answered the door on Thursday. At their workplace, no one picked up the phone, and David Knezevic ignored voicemails and emails.
Ana never said that she feared her husband or that he was violent, according to Rameau.
Rameau claimed, “She never told me that she felt in danger.”
Ana chose an apartment in Madrid’s wealthy and fashionable Salamanca quarter, traveled with Rameau in Austria in January, and planned to see a Spanish friend in Barcelona on Feb. 5 before reuniting with Rameau in Madrid starting Feb. 8.
However, the man wearing the helmet turned off the security cameras at the apartment building on February 2 at around 9:30 p.m. As a result, no one in the search for Ana was aware of this for nearly a week. A half hour later, she had a regular phone call with a buddy. According to her neighbors, it is when they last saw her.
When Rameau received a text from Ana’s phone the following day, she grew concerned.
“I got to know a really great person! It said, ‘He has a summer residence 2H (hours) from Madrid. I’m going to spend a few days there, and we’re heading there right now. There is sporadic signal. I’ll call you when I get back.”
That was followed a minute later by a second text: “Yesterday after therapy I needed a walk and he approached me on the street! Amazing connection. as though I had never had.”
A minute later, I received another text saying, “I needed to go for a walk yesterday after treatment, and he approached me on the street! Amazing connection. as though I had never had.”
