On 29th January 1993 was going to begin the additional autopsies requested by the family's solicitor, but it was not as easy as it seemed.
In fact, when the second forensic team leaded by Luis Frontela ended, he realised how bothered he was because of the way the six first forensic team had worked within the earlier autopsies. Even so, the first forensic team tried to cast doubt upon the second forensic team.
The way they hindered Luis Frontela's work so much would make Luis Frontela sent the next letter to the family's solicitor (who is called Luis Miguel):
'Dear Luis Miguel:
I am writing to complain about something referring to the autopsies.
This letter contains three distinct parts, which the first and the second one are strictly confidential and only could be revealed to your clients.
* First paragraph:
Before my work began, I had a meeting with the earlier six forensic doctors. They told me their concern about their earlier forensic work would be delegitimised, and I replied them I was carrying out a request by the families of the three girls, so all I had to do is my best to explain these facts way better.
The chief of the Forensic Institute of Valencia told us to create all together a press release that make people feel at ease, which is attached to this file to you.
Few hours later, those six forensics leaded by Verdú and I fell out in the next bitter discussion:
Verdu forensic doctor told me in an angry mood that my forensic work had been performing carefully, and I replied him that this is the way I used to do my own work, so he replied me it was not the agreement because the only thing I have to do is to analyse some hairs for later criminal exams, so I replied him again I would like to make a proper job.
Verdu told me again that it's not what we had chosen earlier, and I replied to him the only thing we had chosen was to make all together a press release, being only under my business the best way to make my own forensic work.
* Second paragraph:
The earlier autopsies made to the bodies of Toñi, Miriam García and Desirée Hernandez by the first forensic team the previous day were just a botch, poorly performed job, not to say it had been done in poor conditions. I will show you some of the worst mistakes I've found there in connection with their earlier autopsies:
a) Their clothes were washed with water and then put into plastic bags, which violates the basic forensic rules because this way allowed either semen, blood or saliva to disintegrate and should be lost forever.
When performing a proper, well done forensic work, the forensics must take care of clothes by keeping them as dry as possible, so I don't know why those forensic had refused to do so.
b) It seemed that the clothes were not analysed in a careful, properly way.
c) The bodies have been beheaded to collect some samples for a comprehensive exam by another forensic institute. Both their genitals and hands were collected too.
d) I worried because the earlier forensics had been hesitating if the three teenage girls were penetrated by penis or by another object such as a wooden stick.
e) When I asked them where they had sent the hairs of the three girls for further comprehensive analysis, they said to me that all those hairs were put in a pile, which make me worried.
f) What a wrong procedure! They had been dissecting some parts of their bodies wrongly, as they had been dissecting together parts that included evidences of violence with another that were due to putrefaction.
Hopefully, we would notice this wrong procedure so we reported it later, otherwise it could have created further discrepancies.
g) Any x-ray examination had been taken, so we have to do so.
At this point, I asked myself if they removed some parts of the three bodies, and they hadn't performed their forensic work properly, so I realised they had done a botch work.
They emphasized they died by gunshots, but what about another forensic facts that they had ignored?
They intended to hamper my work to save their reputation, thereby this has meant more doubts to this multiple crime.
* Third paragraph:
We are forensic just to do our job carefully and accurately for the benefit to find the truth and help the court to send the guilties to jail, so we claimed all these things listed below just to make my forensic work properly, as usual:
1) The removed parts of their bodies that had been sent to further investigation.
2) All the pictures that were taken either during the autopsies and within the get out of the bodies from the clandestine grave.
3) All the hairs from the three bodies that were taken for further investigation.
4) All kind of histological works.
5) All the hairs that were found either in the site of human remains, cars, houses or somewhere else.
6) A detailed list of the clothes they wore and their own physical features.
Yours sincerely: Luis Frontela.'
Few days later, on 6th February 1993, Luis Frontela sent a request to the court:
'I will send you all kind of collected samples that we took, even those which we didn't have enough time to analyse.
I appreciate you, even though I still don't understand what's your reason to putting up barriers all the time against my work.
Nobody had send me all the pictures and all the samples I had previously claimed, and if that wasn't enough, they had withdrawn some of these samples I had.
If I had known that doing such work would imply being hampered all the time. I would have rejected it because I don't like to work is this way, but properly.
So, I refused to make a press release together with the earlier forensic team because of conflicting ethical issues.
Some months later, an other complaint was sent by Luis Frontela.
The day of the finding of the three teenage girls, Luis Frontela was in a tv program named 'Quien sabe donde', just a renowned old Spaniard tv program about disappearances and missing people.
At this time, a Secretary of State for Internal Security - named Rafael Vera - rang him asking for some help to resolve the case, so Luis Frontela answered him positively.
More precisely, he asked him to analyse some hairs that police had found in a car that will likely indicate who are the culprits of the spookiest crime ever in Spain.
Surprisingly enough, five minutes later someone told him that none of these hairs were located at the Forensic Institute of Valencia, suggesting that someone had already sent them to Madrid.
Nothing was heard from those hairs, so it blew away him.
In fact, it was known that all these facts that bothered him too much could imply some work issues for him within the next days.
Finally, when referring to The Alcasser Girls, he said:
'Evidences are missing, things seemed to get out of control, dignity is lost'.
Due to this chain of events, one of the father of the girls, who is called Fernando García, has been aware that something was indeed wrong.
From that moment on, he would turn out one of the more sceptical persons to fight the official story so far.
