Overview
- Police and family found the victim, identified as Bárbara Camila Aragón, wrapped in a blanket inside a suitcase in a room of a pension in Rosario after searching for her.
- The discovery occurred in the early hours of Sunday when relatives who had lost contact with her entered the pension with the owner’s permission and alerted officers.
- Investigators detained Eliel G. N., a 37-year-old ex‑member of the Santa Fe police who was exonerated from the force and has a 2021 conviction for narcotrafficking.
- The Unidad de Violencias Altamente Lesivas and fiscal Marina Bertolotti lead the probe, ordered the body sent to the IML for autopsy, and seized the suspect’s phone for forensic analysis.
- Key evidence now being sought includes autopsy findings, phone forensics and witness statements such as the remisero’s account that the victim sent a WhatsApp asking to be picked up, which may help reconstruct her last hours.
