Overview

• Forensic teams are conducting urgent DNA tests on biological remains found near the Base Naval Puerto Belgrano to determine if they belong to Delfina Hecker, who disappeared during the March 7 flooding.
• The remains were located about 17 kilometers from where the body of Pilar Hecker, Delfina's 5-year-old sister, was recovered earlier this month.
• The March 7 storm, which caused severe flooding in Bahía Blanca, resulted in 17 confirmed fatalities, with Delfina potentially becoming the 18th if the remains are identified as hers.
• Authorities have intensified coastal and continental searches near Coronel Rosales, utilizing naval crews, drones, and foot patrols to locate any further evidence.
• Prosecutor Marina Lara emphasized the urgency of the DNA analysis to provide closure to the Hecker family after nearly two months of exhaustive search efforts.
