Overview
- Police located Fabiana Edith Muñoz during the early hours of Sunday in a barda area near a water tank on the outskirts of Zapala.
- She was assisted on site and transferred to the Hospital of Zapala, where she remains under observation following initial evaluations.
- The search was activated under the provincial 'Ubicación y Paradero' alert No. 20/26 and coordinated with the Zapala prosecutor’s office and the local Women and Minor’s Police Station.
- Relatives had warned she lives with schizophrenia and, according to their reports, was off her medication, which heightened concern during the nearly 48-hour search.
- Authorities deactivated the search operation after the find, while public attention and family statements kept focus on the handling of prior psychiatric care and the limits on involuntary hospitalization.
