However the balcony was not in an apartment being rented by Kirsty or her friends.We hear how some conflicting accounts and inconsistent stories from the occupants of the apartment raised suspicions around the truth of the fall.Emma tells how failures by the Spanish Police added to concerns about the case which has led Kirsty's family to continue pursuing the truth to this day.Case research by Emma TaylorProduced by Emma Taylor & Joannagh ShanksEditing by Shaun O'NeillMusic by Tribe of NoiseSources of research:https://www.theolivepress.es/spain-news/2020/07/17/5-british-men-cleared-in-spain-over-criminal-involvement-in-death-of-benidorm-balcony-plunge-victim-kirsty-maxwell/https://www.theolivepress.es/spain-news/2021/05/15/new-mtv-documentary-investigating-the-death-of-kirsty-maxwell-in-spains-benidorm-is-a-stark-reminder-of-dangers-faced-by-brits-abroad/https://www.heraldscotland.com/news/20039913.parents-balcony-fall-death-victim-kirsty-maxwell-bid-help-others/https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/scottish-news/kirsty-maxwell-murder-probe-flawed-20295409https://kirstymaxwell.com/https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/scottish-news/family-scot-who-plunged-death-25778745https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/4113893/benidorm-balcony-victim-kirsty-maxwell-final-moments/https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/3487460/kirsty-maxwell-benidorm-five-death-fall/https://www.edinburghlive.co.uk/news/edinburgh-news/five-theories-around-mystery-death-20395677https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/new-bride-who-plunged-death-10342658https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-edinburgh-east-fife-40138380https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-edinburgh-east-fife-40725274https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-nottinghamshire-44821906https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/scottish-news/kirsty-maxwell-death-mystery-examined-13108407https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/scottish-news/balcony-death-plunge-victim-kirsty-13114428https://evoke.ie/2021/04/14/entertainment/kirsty-maxwell-documentaryhttps://www.edinburghlive.co.uk/news/edinburgh-news/death-kirsty-maxwell-documentary-mtv-20332745
