Disappearance of Juan Pedro Martínez

Common card · No. 499211

Juan Pedro Martínez Gómez, also known in Spanish media as El niño de Somosierra ("the Boy from Somosierra"), was a Spanish boy who disappeared near Somosierra, Community of Madrid, on 25 June 1986 during the early morning hours. Juan Pedro, aged 10, was riding with his parents in a tanker loaded with 20,000 litres of sulphuric acid when the vehicle lost control and crashed on the Somosierra mountain pass. Both parents died in the accident, but the child's remains were never found. The case is considered by Interpol to be one of the strangest missing persons cases to have occurred in Europe during the late 20th century.
