Overview
- Construction workers uncovered 150 bone fragments and personal items in a roughly 60-centimeter-deep grave at a Coghlan lot on May 20 adjacent to a former Gustavo Cerati rental.
- Forensic experts from the Policía Científica and the Equipo Argentino de Antropología Forense dated the burial to the 1990s and identified a fatal stab wound to the fourth right rib along with marks of attempted dismemberment.
- A DNA test matched the remains to 16-year-old Diego Fernández, who disappeared near Belgrano on July 26, 1984, resolving a 41-year-old missing person case.
- A surprise witness living abroad informed authorities that Cristian Graf, son of the homeowners and a former schoolmate of Diego’s, was involved in the disappearance.
- Fiscal Martín López Perrando has classified the case as “averiguación de delito” and is preparing to summon Graf for questioning despite the prospect of statutory prescription.
