Overview

  • Matías Jurado remains in preventive detention at the Gorriti penal, held in isolation with only daily outdoor time under strict security measures.
  • Forensic analyses in San Pedro de Jujuy confirmed that bones, skin, hair and bloodstains recovered from his Alto Comedero home are human, with some remains found in dog food bowls.
  • Prosecutors have formally linked at least five disappearances to Jurado’s property, using evidence such as taxi GPS data, while unverified reports suggest up to 40 cases remain under preliminary review.
  • The justice system has called family members of the missing to attempt recognition of clothing and shoes seized at the so-called “house of horror,” and requested the CIF of Salta to conduct DNA and biological cotejos.
  • Police canine units have begun combing the Arroyo Las Martas area for additional remains as Jurado is again transferred under heavy guard for psychological and psychiatric evaluations.
