Overview
- Police found the couple’s Toyota Hilux encased in mud near Playa Visser, far from Route 1 and the shoreline, with all doors locked and personal items inside and no trace of the occupants nearby.
- Roughly 40 officers expanded ground and aerial sweeps across about 40 kilometers using drones and canine teams, with support from Prefectura, Defensa Civil and aeroclub aircraft.
- Investigators say tire marks indicate attempts to free the vehicle, and the working hypothesis is that the two walked out to seek help; phones have not provided new leads.
- Relatives asked for a locksmith to help open the truck because they have no keys and appealed for volunteers with 4x4s and drones, while some family members raised an unconfirmed robbery scenario.
- Local reports noted recent campfire remains in the Cañadón Visser area under review by search teams, as rugged terrain and scarce cell coverage continue to hinder tracking efforts.
