Prosecutor and Family Appeal Dismissal in 1984 Coghlan Killing After Garden Burial Finding

They contend forensic analysis places the grave inside Cristian Graf’s yard, indicating prior knowledge.

Overview

  • The Criminal Appeals Chamber will review Judge Alejandro Litvack’s dismissal of Norberto Cristian Graf on concealment charges.
  • The EAAF reported the original burial was entirely within Graf’s garden at Avenida Congreso 3742.
  • Witnesses said Graf urged workers to protect a nearby tree before the bones were found and later floated alternative explanations for the remains.
  • Prosecutor Martín López Perrando argues concealment is an autonomous, continuing offense that should not be deemed prescribed without a defined author.
  • Forensic specialists documented a stab wound and multiple cuts consistent with an attempted dismemberment, confirming a violent death.
