Overview
- Thirteen specialists from Santa Fe’s UN‑certified USAR brigade reached Comodoro Rivadavia and began coordinating operations with Chubut police at the Kilómetro 3 command center.
- The team brought a 90‑meter reel camera to inspect narrow voids and sinkholes and drones with thermal imaging to scan fissures and difficult terrain in Cañadón del Visser.
- Investigators’ leading hypothesis holds that, after the Hilux became stuck on the old gravel stretch of Provincial Route 1, the couple left on foot and may have fallen into natural sinkholes.
- Officials say the search now proceeds under the presumption the pair are deceased, with dogs reassigned to detect human remains, and the robbery theory has been ruled out.
- Security‑camera analysis confirms only Juana Inés Morales and Pedro Alberto Kreder were in the truck with no vehicle in pursuit, and the pickup was found trapped in mud without signs of vandalism.
