Overview
- The remains found at Caleta La Misión near Río Grande were recovered in advanced decomposition and processed by Policía Científica.
- Sergio Gabriel Schlieter Barría, 32, had been reported missing in Tierra del Fuego since early November, according to judicial sources.
- Judge María Rosa Santana and prosecutor Ariel Pinno are awaiting autopsy and lab results to determine whether Schlieter’s death was accidental or involved third-party intervention.
- Officials have dismissed any connection between the discovered body and retirees Pedro Kreder and Juana Morales, who vanished on October 11 while traveling from Comodoro Rivadavia toward Camarones.
- The investigation into the retirees continues under prosecutor Cristian Olazábal with extended coastal searches using police, firefighters, drones, off-road vehicles, canine teams and Conicet technical support, as authorities weigh a sea-accident hypothesis.
