Nineteen Days On, Chubut Police Probe Valle de Marte in Search for Missing Retirees

Investigators pursue a terrain-based lead near the found truck following a shift to recovery-focused searches.

Overview

  • Police expanded ground operations about 15 kilometers from the vehicle’s location toward Route 3, Route 73 and along the La Máquina canyon to Route 1 under Subcomisario Patricio Fabián Rojas.
  • Investigators are evaluating Valle de Marte as a potential site due to unstable ground and mud pits that could conceal remains, yet there is no evidence the couple was there.
  • The provincial justice authority ordered a comprehensive review of security-camera footage to reconstruct the truck’s route and check for possible third-party involvement.
  • Officials say the robbery hypothesis has been discarded as teams deploy tracking dogs and drones to search for human remains.
  • Authorities mark 19 days since the last contact and ask the public to share any information via the 101 emergency line or at local police stations.
