Overview

  • The Argentine Forensic Anthropology Team began work at Matías Jurado’s Alto Comedero residence, reviewing case reports and preparing digs at six georadar-flagged points.
  • A Gendarmería forensic entomologist is analyzing insects recovered from the site to estimate how long the remains have been there and refine the timeline.
  • DNA tests identified remains as those of Jorge Omar Anachuri and Sergio Alejandro González, and prosecutors will seek to broaden the indictment to double homicide while requesting a hearing with the accused.
  • Prosecutor Guillermo Beller cautioned that authorities will not declare a death without a complete body, though he called the DNA matches significant for the case.
  • Investigators are probing possible links to three additional disappearances and, citing numerous charred bone fragments, are considering hypotheses that could bring the victim count to seven or more.
