Overview
- A small recreational boat capsized late last week near Fray Luis Beltrán and one occupant, Rolando “Rogelio” Cabrera, reached shore alive while three men—Ezequiel Stegelman, Héctor Flores and Gustavo Muñoz—remain unaccounted for.
- Police and federal sea guards confirmed that a male body was found Monday night near Villa Gobernador Gálvez and was transferred to the Instituto Médico Legal in Rosario pending forensic identification.
- Prefectura Naval Argentina is leading a coordinated operation with volunteer fire brigades, police, divers, K9 teams and guardacostas vessels that has included focused K9 alerts and boat and dive searches along a wide downstream corridor.
- Relatives conducting independent searches reported finding two lifejackets and a bag near the area where the survivor was rescued, and families are urging continuous searching while criticizing perceived gaps in communication from federal forces.
- Searchers say El Niño-driven high river discharge and strong winds are complicating dive and surface operations and could slow recovery and identification, so teams are maintaining round-the-clock patrols and targeted sweeps for the two remaining missing men.
