Overview

• Suspect Pablo Laurta, accused of killing his ex-partner Luna Giardina and her mother in Córdoba, was detained in Gualeguaychú while traveling with his five-year-old son.
• Entre Ríos police reported the corpse located near the Yeruá stream lacked the head and upper limbs and was in an advanced state of decomposition without clothing.
• Investigators confirmed they found Palacios’s wallet in the Gualeguaychú hotel room rented by Laurta after conducting a search of the premises.
• Security-camera tracking showed the Toyota Corolla’s path and images of Laurta alone at the wheel at a service station, focusing the search on the rural area where the body was discovered.
• Palacios disappeared after picking up Laurta on October 8, his phone shut off after midnight, and his car was later found burned in Córdoba, an incident that destroyed 14 vehicles and led to the evacuation of about 130 people.
