Two days after declaring for the first time before the judge, Ruth Ortiz, the mother of two missing children from Cordoba, last seen seven months ago, spent her first Mother's Day alone without her two children Joseph 2 and 6 year old Ruth . Ruth Ortiz is now convinced that her ex-husband, Joseph Breton, killed the toddlers for revenge: "He is a murderer and while they were away, killed them and hid them," she said during a ceremony at the gates of the prison Alcolea (Córdoba), where the children's father has been incarcerated since last October.
Ruth Ortiz accompanied by one hundred cyclists marched from the bridge of El Arenal of Cordoba to the provincial prison to demand the release of her two children. "I am very grateful for all who come. Thanks for helping us remember that my children are still missing," said Ortiz.
During the march Ruth Ortiz made a stop at the estate of the Quemadillas owned by the family of Joseph Breton and where the search for the missing children has been concentrated on by the police. After hanging up some posters with photos of her children, their mother said she feels "powerless".
Ortiz said she did not feel anything special for it being the Mother's Day: "Any day is the same without my children. I have no hopes of finding them."
The ceremony ended with the release of doves at the door of of the prisons gate. An hour and fifteen minutes before the march reached the vicinity of the prison, the parents of Joseph Breton were seen leaving in a taxi after visiting with their son.
