 The confessed murder  Ana Julia Quezada, detained as the suspected murderer of Gabriel, was in a relationship with Ángel. She was born on the 25th of March in 1974 in La Vega, Dominican Republic. She arrived in Spain in 1995, when she was twenty-two years old, and settled in Burgos with her daughter, to which she gave birth to in the Dominican Republic at the age of eighteen. In 1996 her child, Ridelca Josefia Gil Quezada, which was by then four years old, fell out of a seventh-floor window where they lived and where the child eventually died. The incident has been closed as an accidental death, however the authorities announced that they would reinvestigate the case after the murder of Gabriel. (referencia 10)

She got arrested when dozens of agents cut the path of her vehicle while she was about to enter the garage of a block of flats in the town of La Puebla de Vícar. Just after opening the trunk, the investigators found Gabriel Cruz’s dead body. (referencia 6) Although at first she declared that it had not been her who committed the crime, she would finally confess it two days later (referencia 7). Consequently, she was accused of murder, illegal detention and moral integrity. During her first appearance before the judicial director of the court of Instruction No. 5 of Almeria, Rafael Soriano, the detainee was ratified in the statement given before the civil guard, in which she pointed out that there was an argument and a fight about an axe before the suffocation of the child. She did so to end his life and hid his body in the property of Rodalquilar to which she moved the small. This version was partially dismantled by the investigators in their official report, in which it is quoted: The defendant murdered little Gabriel alone, without the involvement of third parties. The child was possibly taken away because of her jealousy. She killed him on the day of his disappearance, suffocating him, buried him and covered his grave with decorative stones and planks.

According to an a posteriori statement made by the Accidental Chief Lieutenant Colonel of the headquarters of the Civil Guard of Almería, José Hernández Mosquera, Ana Julia was suspected practically since the beginning of the investigation. Still, the agents always believed that she kept Gabriel alive and their goal was for her to take them to the little child. However, Gabriel was killed the same day he disappeared, as the autopsy confirmed. (referencia 11) On 3 March, a fundamental incident occurred that would later help to solve the case: Ana Julia organized the appearance of the shirt worn by the minor; she said that she had found it at a distance of about four kilometres from Las Hortichuelas. For which she had to pass a field, reach Las Negras and enter a ravine, something that seemed quite unlikely for the investigators. It should be noted that she was the one who told Ángel to go looking for the child in that area, and it was she who found the garment. Ángel was nearby but not in sight at the time of the supposed discovery. The family recognized it as Gabriel's t-shirt.
