Ester Estepa was a 42-year-old woman from Seville who met the killer in a hostel in Alicante. The crime occurred on August 23, 2023. After the murder, Montilla hid the corpse in a reed bed in Gandía, in the province of Valencia.

The body was found ten months later. Now, the Public Prosecutor's Office is requesting a sentence of 41 years in prison for the crimes committed against Ester Estepa, which represent the final acts of this serial killer.
