WHERE
Since a body was never found, the pair were ultimately convicted in 2019 of the lesser crime of ‘coercion’ after a judge ruled that they had not unlawfully detained her.
Instead, Capper was sentenced to two years in prison and Porter got six months.
But in a sensational twist, police are now investigating the discovery of skeletal remains in a suitcase in Benahavis, just yards from Monte Halcones and within 400m of at least two Capper homes. Police have yet to rule out it is that of Agnese, but are awaiting DNA tests to confirm or refute the theory.

Nearly eight years ago, Brown, 32, an expat from Scotland, failed to collect her son (who was eight at the time) from school in Guadi-
LIFELONG memories, a sense of pride and a stiff right arm are the legacy of King Charles III’s Coronation for one Olive Press staffer, who took part in the historic event.
Never without a huge smile on his face - even after a 5am dress rehearsal finish in cold, rainy three-degree London - Matt Jones made Spanish expats proud.
The 48-year-old Olive Press sales representative, who lives in the humble, sleepy, down-to-earth Andalucian village of Alozaina, was whisked into a world of royalty, pomp and pageantry on the golden streets of Westminster.
In incredible access to the May 6 procession, he ended up lining up alongside 99 other Royal British Legion (RBL) standard bearers in Parliament Square.
Acting as a ‘guard of honour’ he needed to be carefully vetted and was flown over to the UK from Malaga ‘in secret’ a week before and put up in a five star hotel at Marble Arch.
“It was an absolutely amazing experience. It was such an honour and privilege for the RBL to be asked to be part of it,” recalls Matt, who joined the media group last year.
“We were the only non-military organisation to be asked to be part and the reaction from the crowds was brilliant. They were even clapping and cheering us throughout .
“In fact, I am still buzzing from the Matt was not the only expat involved from Spain. Mary Kemp, 57, who lives in Alicante, carried the standard for District Spain North
The Sussex lass joined Matt, who represented the south of Spain, to bear their branches’ flags up the Strand, past the Cenotaph and then take up station by Westminster Abbey.

“We stood within five feet of the parades as royalty proceeded past - we could not have been closer,” continues Matt.
“No one had a better view! Except of course we had to aro, near Sotogrande, on the Costa del Sol. The mother-of-one, who moved to Spain at the age of 18, had just begun a new job in Gibraltar and was said to be ‘happy’. Her partner, Dean Woods - a drug dealer, who had changed his name by deed poll to ‘Simon Corner’ - oddly vanished from the Costa del Sol just after Lisa was reported missing in November 2015.
He was arrested at Heathrow in 2018 and brought to Spain for questioning, but the case was controversially dropped. Although it was later reopened and he was extradited to the UK six months later, that inquiry also came to nothing.
Woods was sentenced soon afterwards for a completely different crime – his involvement in a €10 million cocaine ring.
The Olive Press revealed that police believe she inadvertently became involved in drug runs on yachts across the Med, but when she found out and argued with her partner he or fellow gang members killed and dumped her at sea.
Somehow Woods escaped prison while on day release in November 2022 and has been on the run since.
