Chubut Missing Retirees Case Intensifies With Return of Trelew K9 Team

Prosecutors added a Trelew K9 trained to detect human remains after forensic checks ruled out a planned getaway.

Overview

  • Pedro Alberto Kreder, 79, and Juana Inés Morales, 69, vanished on October 11 near Comodoro Rivadavia, and their locked Toyota Hilux was found in Rocas Coloradas with supplies and Juana’s wallet but not Pedro’s.
  • Trelew’s Unit No. 32 rejoined the operation with Kali, a K9 specialized in detecting human remains, after previously working alongside Roco during late-October searches.
  • A certified rescue brigade from Santa Fe is supporting with drones, thermal cameras and specialized gear as search grids and air surveys expand in the Cañadón Visser area.
  • Fiscal Cristian Olazábal leads the judicial probe, reporting no unusual movements in Kreder’s bank accounts and cash located in his home, and dismissing rumors about supposed biological traces or other misleading clues.
  • An anonymous hotline tip suggesting interception or coercion is under review by the fiscalía, the provincial security minister has publicly discounted that line, two SIM-less phones were found at Kreder’s home, and the difficult terrain continues to yield no conclusive trace.
