December 2018, ruling out the theory that the anonymous letters had been written by Montserrat Careta. In fact, a national police officer strongly believes that the killer is Santiago Laiglesia.

out that
Laiglesia, a lawyer and criminologist, almost always slept in the same building as the events and, according to the Careta family, had the keys to the flat. In addition, according to the family, the box of matches and Noctamid were perfectly positioned to draw quick and easy conclusions two months after the event.

The national police also located a box of matches like those found on the roof, which were allegedly used to burn Helena. During her time in prison, Careta always protested her innocence through letters she sent to family and friends.
476:
Another argument they add is that even if Careta were guilty, her small stature would not have allowed her to commit the crime alone, since, as detailed in the investigation, she wouldn't have had the strength to carry Helena Jubany's unconscious body up the stairs. She lived on the third floor

In 2017, two journalism students, Anna Prats and Iago García, tried to gather all the information so that the facts could be clarified. Both the families of the victim as well as Montserrat Careta consider that the perpetrator or perpetrators of the murder "remain free". Careta's relatives point

It was also suggested that the handwritten notes may have been written by
Montserrat Careta, and part of the second written note by the other defendant Ana Echaguivel. None of the defendants could verify where they were on the night of the events, nor why they had not gone to work on the morning of 3

The body crashed through the clotheslines, into the back yard of an adjacent building at 91-97 Guell i Ferrer Street. A neighbor found the body at 9 o'clock in the morning of 2 December, stripped naked, and with burns on several parts of the body. Her head was disfigured as a result of the impact on

The relatives of Jubany and Careta demanded the reopening of the case, arguing irregularities in the investigation. They question why investigators didn't take fingerprints from Helena's car, the flat or the terrace, and why the police waited for hours before searching Montserrat Careta's flat

The investigation remained open to determine the events that occurred between noon on 30 November and 9am on 2 December, when the body was found. Santi
Laiglesia, who was considered the co-author in the murder did not appear in any of the almost 1,000 pages of the investigation. Laiglesia's lawyer,

While Careta was in jail, the judge indicted
Santiago Laiglesia and Ana Echaguivel. On 23 March, he arrested Echaguivel, then 32-years-old and a neighbor of Sabadell, when a calligraphy test determined that she was the author of the first half of the second anonymous letter that Jubany had received

Saturday 1 December Helena had arranged to have lunch with her father, Joan Jubany (Mataró, 1945). When she did not appear, he decided to call her but there was no answer. On Sunday she had arranged to meet a friend but she didn't appear either. On Monday, her father called her workplace

Helena Jubany left home at noon on Friday, 30 November, but never arrived at the
Sentmenat Library where she worked. According to the investigation, on that day she received a telephone call in the morning, and at noon, she reportedly left the house and drove to 48 Calvet de Estrella Street in

The case was taken by Judge Manuel Horacio García, of the Tribunal de Instrucción No 3 in Sabadell. The first police investigations indicated that the victim "fell" from the communal terrace of the property at 48 Calvet de Estrella Street, where the Jubany's hair and clothes were found on the
