Welcome back to When Trails Go Cold - a Cold Case podcast. Episode 4: The Girl in the Pine Tree. September 4th, 1990. Portbou, Spain. A young woman is found in a pine tree above a small Spanish border town. Her pockets are empty. Nobody in the town recognises her. Nobody anywhere reports her missing. She had, it seemed, arrived from nowhere. In this episode, we explore one of Europe's most haunting cold cases - and the thousand kilometres of unanswered questions that surround it.
