Overview

  • Excavations began Tuesday at six georadar-identified spots inside the Alto Comedero residence, with the EAAF leading the operation.
  • Specialists first cataloged seized items in a court genetics lab and are extracting DNA from bones, tissue and bloodstained clothing for comparison with relatives.
  • A Gendarmería forensic entomologist is analyzing insect evidence to estimate how long remains were at the site and to help reconstruct the timeline.
  • DNA previously identified Jorge Omar Anachuri and Sergio Alejandro González among the remains, and investigators are probing links to at least three other disappearances.
  • Suspect Matías Jurado remains in preventive detention in a high-security pavilion at Unit 1 in Gorriti and has requested a meeting with the investigating prosecutor.
