Overview

  • El Tribuno reports two additional DNA profiles from bloodstains in Matías Jurado’s home that do not match three previously named missing men, with only about 20% of seized biological material analyzed so far.
  • Prosecutor Sergio Lello Sánchez earlier confirmed a single new genetic pattern distinct from the two identified victims, highlighting a discrepancy over whether one or two new profiles were found.
  • Jurado has been formally charged with the aggravated murders of Jorge Omar Anachuri and Sergio Alejandro Sosa and remains in the Gorriti prison pending an imputative hearing and a decision on preventive detention.
  • Forensic teams from the EAAF used georadar and specialized dogs and collected roughly a hundred biological samples, including tissues, blood and bone fragments, now undergoing genetic testing.
  • Authorities are preparing further familial matches for the new profiles after initial checks against relatives of Juan Carlos González, Miguel Ángel Quispe and José Ponce showed no compatibility, and investigators are examining whether the victim tally could be higher.
