"The woman in pink" identified by Interpol 20 years after her body was found in Spain

A woman found dead in Spain 20 years ago has been identified after an international campaign to resolve cold cases.

"The woman in pink" case dates back to July 2005, when a body was found by a road in a small town in Barcelona. The woman was wearing a pink floral top, pink pants and pink shoes, the international police agency Interpol said in a news release . She had been dead for less than 24 hours, and authorities believed her death was suspicious because evidence showed her body had been moved before its discovery.

In 2023, Interpol launched the "Identify Me" campaign , which seeks to name women who were murdered or died under suspicious circumstances in Europe in recent decades. Details from cases examined under the initiative are widely shared online and in the media. Interpol
