• Authorities in La Plata were formally notified, including prosecutor María Cecilia Corfield, after which the Buenos Aires police ended the active search protocol.
• Investigators had treated the case as an averiguación de paradero, coordinating Comisaría 6ta. de Tolosa and the DDI, with security cameras last placing him near Parque Pereyra Iraola.
• He told officers he was riding a bicycle toward Misiones, and police reported no sign he was the victim of a crime.
• Da Rocha left his Tolosa home on September 30 to pick up his daughter, later told his mother he would go to the Parque Pereyra “árbol de cristal,” and relatives say the family is relieved after nearly a week without contact.
