Paraná River Search Enters Day 5 After Two Cousins Vanish, Boat Found Circling

Coordinated sweeps continue following specialists’ dismissal of a capsizing theory.

Overview

  • Fernando Ramón Álvarez and Caleb Benjamín González, both 23 and from Bella Vista, Corrientes, went fishing Thursday and were reported missing Friday.
  • Their unmanned boat was found near Isla Baibiene adrift with the engine running and circling, intact and aground, which investigators say rules out an overturning.
  • Prefectura Naval and Corrientes police units, including the Unidad Regional II de Goya and the Comisaría de Cruz de los Milagros, are conducting water and air searches with boats, jet skis and aircraft.
  • An official bulletin on Tuesday said all brigades returned to shore with no new findings, and operations resumed on Wednesday.
  • Authorities say the case falls under Santa Fe jurisdiction, and relatives are urging public help while expressing concern that the pair may have been taken.
