The five year old, of Gypsey origin, vanished when returning home after buying a bag of crisps at a local koisk in the El Torrejón district of Huelva last Sunday

The Government delegate in Andaulcía, Juan José López Garzón, has said that all possibilities are being investigated in the disappearance of five year old Mari Luz, who vanished from the El Torrejón district of Huelva on the way home from the sweet kiosk last Sunday. He also said that information on the case has been passed on to the authorities in Portugal, and that a protocol of collaboration had been put in place.

Police support has been sent from Sevilla, with specialists from the homicide and other departments, taking the number of police and Civil Guard agents on the case to over 100.
A woman who claimed to have seen the child on a bus on Sunday, crying in the arms of an older woman is one of the leads the police say they are investigating.

López Garzón expressed his support for the family and assured them that every thing that could be done from a police point of view was being done and would be done until the case was solved.

The British press have noticed this new case and given that Huelva is just over the border with Portugal, are speculating to a possible link to the Madeleine McCann case. It is known that Kate and Gerry McCann visited Huelva during their stay on the Algarve.
