Overview
- Córdoba police located Mariano Martínez on Friday and reported he is in good physical and mental health after a search that began when he went missing from La Plata on Monday.
- The breakthrough came from Córdoba merchant testimony and security‑camera images showing him leaving printed CVs and a 911 tip that placed him in La Calera, prompting a local police operation.
- Officers identified Mariano in public, confirmed his ID, noted he had eaten and was lucid, and arranged a medical and psychological check before custody was transferred to provincial authorities.
- Because he is an adult and said he came to Córdoba by choice, officials treat the case as a voluntary absence; Córdoba will hand evidence to Buenos Aires judicial authorities so formal procedures can close and the family can reunite.
- The search illustrated how cross‑jurisdiction coordination using CCTV, merchant tips, and transit records such as SUBE card traces can rapidly redirect missing‑person investigations across provinces.
