Toni Páez Spoke to His Sister the Day She Was Killed
Antonio “Toni” Páez Capitán shared a close bond with his sister, Ana María Páez. Though both had grown up and moved forward with their own lives, they remained in regular contact, always keeping each other updated. On February 19, 2008, Ana called him after work, mentioning she was going to have dinner with friends. Everything seemed completely normal. He didn’t realize it would be their final conversation. The next day, Toni received a call from the police informing him that Ana’s body had been found in a rented apartment in Barcelona. Shocked, he shared what she had told him, which helped police narrow their focus on María Ángeles Molina. Angi was ultimately convicted. While Toni knew it couldn’t undo the pain or bring Ana back, he felt justice had been served.
Toni Páez is Helping Other Families With His Advocacy Today
Toni Páez is currently based in Barcelona, Spain, where he continues to live a quiet life. He completed his schooling at a small local school in Pedraforca and later began working for SEAT, the well-known automobile manufacturer, at their plant in Martorell, just outside Barcelona. While he is not someone drawn to the public spotlight, it is evident that his life was forever changed by the death of his sister in 2008. The impact of her murder still resonates deeply with him. In 2012, when the Supreme Court reduced María Ángeles Molina Fernández’s sentence from 22 to 18 years, Toni publicly expressed his disappointment. He felt justice had been compromised and voiced his concerns about the broader implications of leniency in such serious cases.
Determined to help others facing similar pain, he became an advocate for victims’ families. He helped organize a petition to prevent the repeal of Spain’s revisable life sentence law, a move that resonated nationwide. The petition centered around five families and was a powerful statement from someone who knew firsthand the enduring weight of loss. Outside of advocacy, he finds solace in physical activity and the outdoors. He has participated in several marathons and enjoys long-distance running, using it as both a form of therapy and motivation. A light-hearted side of him also emerges in his love for board games, particularly Monopoly Go!, which he often plays with friends and family. He continues to live with strength and makes sure his sister’s memory endures in meaningful ways.
