Overview
- UFI Descentralizada N°2 de Laferrere, led by fiscal Gastón Duplaá, investigates the case as an averiguación de paradero, reviewing CCTV and phone data with support from Policía de la Ciudad, Migraciones, SIFEBU and DAJUDECO.
- Security video shows Brenda del Castillo (20), Morena Verdi (20) and Lara Morena Gutiérrez (15) boarding a white Chevrolet Tracker at the YPF rotonda in La Tablada; investigators report the plate tied to the vehicle does not match and may be false.
- All three phones went dark in the early hours of Saturday, roughly around 3 a.m., after limited activity reported by a mother between 1 and 3 a.m., leaving no further trace.
- Relatives and neighbors blocked traffic at the Camino de Cintura rotonda to demand action, the municipality circulated flyers, and families met with the prosecutor overseeing the probe.
- A family-backed line of inquiry suggests an arranged meeting with a client reportedly offering US$300 each, and TN reports an unverified ping from the minor’s phone in Florencio Varela, but authorities have not confirmed these leads.
