When did he reveal that David was in Spain? I have not seen this. Please share the article.I get an impression that leaks are not desired and are usually by anonymous persons, but her we have an official with a name. What else can he reveal that the police won't?
This information is the exact opposite of what Sanna, the Fort Lauderdale police report, and Ana's brother has stated.David Knezevich was in his native Serbia when his wife, Ana, disappeared from her Madrid apartment on Feb. 2 and has been cooperating with both Spanish police and the FBI, said Ken Padowitz, his Florida-based attorney.
“David has worked with authorities. He has talked to detectives in Spain on a number of occasions. He’s provided credit card information ... He obtained a lawyer in Spain to sign documents that might help the Spanish authorities go into the apartment that his wife had rented,” Padowitz said. “He is doing everything that he possibly can ... from Serbia.”
He said if Knezevich, 36, traveled to Spain, that would not help the investigation or search.
“He does not speak Spanish. He does not have family in Spain. He does not have friends in Spain. He does not have a house or an apartment or any place to live in Spain,” Padowitz said.

Husband of Fort Lauderdale woman missing in Spain denies involvement in her disappearance: Attorney
The husband of an Fort Lauderdale woman missing in Spain under suspicious circumstances played no part in her disappearance and disputes her family’s contention that their impending divorce was “nasty,” his attorney said Tuesday.www.nbcmiami.com
Nothing about DNA. They might want to keep that secret.If I accept that someone else sent those text messages to Ana's two friends pretending to be her, then there is really only one person I can think of who would benefit to setting up a false backstory for her disappearance.
Whoever is behind this, needed to buy themselves some time before police got involved and wanted police looking in a different direction.
If this was a random stalker or someone she met on a dating app that didn't know her well (and more importantly, that her friends/family didn't know), they would be less concerned about suspicions immediately falling on them.
Has anything been reported about DNA collection from the apartment?
See I believe anyone being questioned by LE should have a lawyer present, regardless if they have done something or not. Many times LE has tunnel vision. It is what it is, and it's his right. I would rather they investigate properly, so then there is no way the guilty party can appeal. However, that is just my way of thinking.I’m not trying to be glib or over-simplify but it doesn’t make sense if he wants to help in finding Ana. What does he have to lose? The Spanish police cannot put him in a cell. They cannot force him to give a statement. The lawyer could be present in remote questioning and advise his client not to answer anything he considers thorny.
Is the answer then: he does want to help find Ana but he’s worried the Spanish police will somehow make up a charge against him despite any possible evidence being non-existent?
He has already hired a Spanish speaking lawyer "to help with documents" in Spain, according to his former-Homicide Prosecutor lawyer.He would likely need a Spanish speaking lawyer.
I did not say that HE revealed anything else. I was merely replying to a statement that something was published in the press. Some of the press info has to be taken with caution if no source is given.When did he reveal that David was in Spain? I have not seen this. Please share the article.
You’ve never read “a police source said”? I lived in Los Angeles for years. I made a podcast with Universal and spoke to a slew of American police officers / detectives across innumerable hours of interviews all over the nation. I consulted with them in the writing of my novel. I can assure you that US LE speaking openly about both solved and unsolved cases is not some sort of Spanish ritual.The press also published rumors in the past (e.g. about the husband being in Spain in January). It seems weird to me that while the police say nothing, they would let info about the investigation be leaked through other channels.
No, they would just need interpreters.He would likely need a Spanish speaking lawyer.
Yes I agree. The only article I read that mentioned David might have been in Spain also stated that this could not be confirmed. The article clearly stated that some sources said he was in Spain, and other sources could not prove he was in Spain. This had nothing to do with anything Joaquín Amills has said or supposedly "leaked"I did not say that HE revealed anything else. I was merely replying to a statement that something was published in the press. Some of the press info has to be taken with caution if no source is given.
A "police source" is not the same as publishing the name of the source. Often times leaks are not desired.You’ve never read “a police source said”? I lived in Los Angeles for years.

A stalker unknown to her would only lose in wasting time on her phone / making up such a story. The more he says, the more avenues police would have for finding him.If I accept that someone else sent those text messages to Ana's two friends pretending to be her, then there is really only one person I can think of who would benefit to setting up a false backstory for her disappearance.

A good attorney will advise their client not to speak to LE on their own, especially in such a high profile international case like this. We don't know if LE have asked his attorney for a formal interview at this time. The attorney said that he has offered himself to be available to the FBI and other LE. I would think that most attorneys would try to avoid an interview in a foreign country where they are not licensed to practice law and are not familiar with the laws and procedures of foreign investigations. That would be putting one's client at risk unknowingly. In any event, it sounds like he has been cooperating with LE in the U.S. as much as he can while still adhering to attorney-client privilege.I’m not trying to be glib or over-simplify but it doesn’t make sense if he wants to help in finding Ana.

Are they a criminal defense attorney?He has already hired a Spanish speaking lawyer "to help with documents" in Spain, according to his former-Homicide Prosecutor lawyer.
You'll have to ask David's lawyer. He's the one who said it.Are they a criminal defense attorney?
Yes, I have no idea on the legalities. It’s very easy to get a Spanish SIM and pop it into your phone. If she arrived here in December, it’s likely she went down this route vs dodging roaming charges or whatever.I wonder if LE in the U.S. (FBI for example) would be able to get a subpoena to view the texts directly from the provider of Ana's cell phone They likely would have to convince a judge that there was probably cause that a crime had been committed and provide the judge with the evidence that leads them to believe this. They can't just go fishing to read all of her texts, there has to be evidence that they will find what they are looking for, and specify what it is that they are lookig for, I would think.
That is, of course, if Ana had a U.S. cell phone provider and that her service was not from a provider in Spain. Not sure how this would work for LE with Spanish laws and legal procedures if they wanted to obtain her texts.
Do you have a link to the Fort Lauderdale police report? Thanks.This information is the exact opposite of what Sanna, the Fort Lauderdale police report, and Ana's brother has stated.
