Pablo Laurta Detained After Alleged Córdoba Double Femicide and Border Escape Attempt

Police are treating his online misogyny as potential motive evidence.

Overview

  • He was arrested in Gualeguaychú after allegedly trying to cross into Uruguay with his five-year-old son, who was recovered safely.
  • Authorities accuse him of killing his ex-partner, Luna Giardina, and her mother, Mariel Zamudio, in Córdoba.
  • Investigators are reviewing his social-media activity, including misogynistic posts and his promotion of a space called “Varones Unidos,” as indicators of intent.
  • Police are reconstructing his travel route and assessing a possible link to a missing Uber driver in Córdoba, a lead that remains unconfirmed and under active review.
  • A taxi driver said he took Laurta and the child to Córdoba’s old bus terminal and noticed nothing unusual, while Laurta’s mother labeled him a killer and recalled seeking a psychiatric evaluation for him in 2024.
