Amidst the bitterness of divorce, a 40-year-old woman from Florida, America, has gone missing in Spain.

According to her family and friends, Ms Knezevich was going through a bitter separation from her husband, who is from Serbia.
Ms Knezevich, who was traveling through Europe, went missing in Madrid on February 5, according to her brother Felipe Henao.
Mr Henao told a news outlet that she was supposed to meet a friend in Barcelona, however, she did not get there.
Ms. Knezevich, a resident of Fort Lauderdale, rented an apartment in Madrid in December 2023. Since then she was in regular touch with her family and friends.
Her brother claimed she went missing after a man wearing a helmet was seen blackening the security cameras in the apartment with spray paint.
Ms Knezevich’s family and friends became concerned when they began receiving text messages in Spanish from her phone.
DailyMail quoted Henao as saying, “That message in Spanish, it looks like it was translated from Google. It’s not her. She doesn’t say these things. No one in Spanish would say it like that.”
In the messages, it was said that Ms. Knezevich met a man who lives two hours away from Madrid, and she was coming to visit him for a few days.
It said she would contact her family when she returned as there was no phone service where she was going.
Ms Knezevich’s friend Sana Rameau claimed the US citizen was last seen by her neighbors on February 2.
On the day Ms. Knezevich disappeared, Sana Rameau sent her a message, but received no reply.
The next day, she received a message from the missing woman’s phone that she had met a man and there was an instant “connection” between them.
Sana Rameau received the message, “I’ll call you when I get back.”
However, Sanna Rameau asked him to send her the person’s home address and asked if it was a good idea to go with a stranger.
“We received very strange messages from her phone, I have to say from her phone because I don’t believe it was she who sent it, after she went missing on Saturday afternoon. “She met a man on the street,” Sanaa Rameau told WSVN.
Sana Rameau alleged that her friend had not gone of her own free will and that she had been taken “against her will and by whom, I do not know.”
Spanish authorities are now investigating the matter further.
