The search and rescue mission to find a two-year-old boy who fell into a narrow, deep borehole in southern Spain more than a week ago has hit a major setback. There has been no contact with the boy – Julen Rosello – since he fell down the narrow borehole in the southern town of Totalan near Malaga on January 13 while playing as his parents prepared a picnic. The only sign of the toddler search-and-rescue teams have found so far is hair that matched his DNA inside the hole. The borehole – or well – is blocked by a layer of earth, sand and stones believed to have been dislodged when the toddler fell. The use of explosives was ruled out because they pose a danger to both the miners and the boy.
