A BRAZILIAN woman reported missing from the Malaga area has been found, her family told The Olive Press.

Laiza Valeria, 25, has been admitted to a Malaga hospital, where she is being treated for unspecified injuries, her sister said.

Her family, who live back in Brazil, had not heard from her since last Saturday, when she last made contact with her mother.

Relatives say they are desperate for answers as questions linger over what prompted her disappearance, why she has been hospitalised, and where she was found.

Local officials are only authorised to share information with family members in person, which means Valeria’s family face a long journey before they can find out what happened to her.

Valeria had moved to Marbella around one year ago to be with her boyfriend, her sister said.

To deepen the mystery surrounding her disappearance, her family claimed she appeared very happy with her new life in Spain.
