Two Human Skulls Discovered in Buenos Aires Province Trigger Forensic Probes

Forensic tests will determine whether the remains are academic specimens or linked to criminal activity.

Overview

  • A skull was found in a public trash container in Playa Grande, Mar del Plata, near the golf course after a passerby alerted authorities.
  • Preliminary examinations in Mar del Plata noted no signs of recent violence and indications of chemical treatment, and prosecutor Carlos Russo ordered detailed analyses.
  • A separate skull was discovered in the yard of a home in Abasto, La Plata, where officers and forensic teams conducted initial on-site work.
  • The La Plata case was recorded as “hallazgo de restos óseos” under Fiscalía N°1 led by Ana Medina, with the remains seized to establish origin and age.
  • Investigators in both jurisdictions say no line of inquiry is ruled out pending laboratory results, a context that recalls a similar Mar del Plata find in 2024.
