Loan Peña Case: 20-Day Search of Four Corrientes Lagoons Ends With No Findings

The investigation remains active after the Federal Court of Cassation removed a 60‑day cap, positioning the case for a February 27, 2026 preliminary hearing.

Overview

  • Federal units including Sifebu and the Comando Unificado Corrientes, with Prefectura, Federal Police, tactical divers and firefighters, searched lagoons near the Route 113 property of Carlos Pérez and María Victoria Caillava.
  • The sweep was triggered by a protected witness who said the child's remains could have been discarded in a lagoon, aligning with an unverified hypothesis of a fatal vehicle incident involving Pérez.
  • Three small lagoons previously inspected were cleared quickly, while a fourth that had never been searched faced heavy rains and elevated water levels yet produced no evidence.
  • The operation concluded over the weekend without results reported to Federal Justice, shortening a plan that had initially contemplated up to 50 days of work.
  • Seven people remain processed in the abduction case as investigators also examine accusations that roughly ten others sought to divert the probe and influence key witnesses.
