Chubut Widens Search for Missing Couple as Teams Move to Recover Locked Truck

Search teams focus on the Cañadón Visser–Rocas Coloradas corridor following the discovery of the couple’s locked, immobilized truck.

Overview

  • Authorities plan a new attempt to remove the Toyota Hilux found stuck in remote terrain, with technicians evaluating a locksmith key re-code to access the vehicle.
  • Provincial forces, SIFEBU, federal specialists, canines, drones, and local volunteers continue coordinated ground and aerial sweeps across cañadones and coastal tracks.
  • Investigators report the truck contained personal items and cash but not the couple’s phones, and the doors were locked with no signs of violence.
  • Recent extinguished campfires detected near Route 1 redirected search lines from Cañadón Visser toward coastal sectors, though no trace of the pair has been found.
  • The working hypothesis holds that Pedro Kreder, 79, and Juana Morales, 69, left the immobilized vehicle to seek help and became disoriented in difficult terrain after their last confirmed route past Caleta Córdova.
