• The prime suspect is the boy’s father, Pablo Laurta, a Uruguayan national named in international arrest requests and previously reported for gender-based violence.
• Authorities activated Alerta Sofía, released the child’s image and description, and urged anyone with information to call 911 or contact local police.
