New Tip Points to Possible Sighting of Marita Verón in Paraguay

Authorities plan verification using forensic records following an anonymous overnight photo tip to Susana Trimarco.

Overview

  • Trimarco said she received a 1:30 a.m. call reporting a woman in a Paraguayan town who might be her daughter.
  • She was sent a photograph but declined to share it publicly, describing the woman as severely malnourished and scavenging from trash.
  • Federal justice was notified and Trimarco’s lawyers activated judicial protocols while her foundation reviews the lead.
  • Officials have Marita Verón’s DNA and fingerprints on file for identification, and the woman’s identity remains unconfirmed.
  • Verón disappeared in 2002 in Tucumán; the case is tied to a trafficking network, saw 2013 convictions after initial 2012 acquittals, and remains an active investigation.
