Overview

• The victims were identified as Andrés Morosini, 28, and his children, Francisco, 6, and Alfonsina, 2, found inside a red BYD at arroyo Don Esteban near Route 20, kilometer 58.
• Police located the vehicle about three meters underwater after surveillance footage and tire tracks narrowed the search area along the waterway.
• Authorities had mobilized a multi-agency operation that included naval divers, Police Aviation helicopters, road checkpoints by the Guardia Republicana, and an Interpol alert.
• The case followed a report that Morosini forcibly took the children from their mother’s home in Mercedes, Soriano, triggering widespread public appeals and a viral plea from the mother.
• Judicial authorities are handling the case given prior domestic-violence complaints and a restraining order against Morosini, with formal inquiries ongoing.
