Woman Found Dead After App-Arranged Date in Retiro

Prosecutors have opened a possible femicide probe as investigators trace phone and app records plus CCTV to identify the man known as 'Iván'.

Overview

  • A friend forced entry early on Sunday and found 27-year-old Tatiana Micaela dead in the temporary-rental apartment on Libertad al 1200, her body covered with a sheet.
  • Police say the victim had agreed the night before to a meeting with a man who used the name 'Iván' on a contact app and detectives are working to confirm his real identity and whether anyone else was present.
  • The justice system ordered the Unidad Criminalística Móvil and the División Homicidios to take over the probe, an autopsy has been ordered, and officers are reviewing building and street cameras to reconstruct movements.
  • Investigators did not find the victim's cellphone at the scene and fiscal Matías Di Lello has opened an inquiry treating the death as a possible femicide while teams pursue digital traces from the app and online postings.
  • Faulty main doors and elevators and stairways without direct camera coverage are complicating the CCTV reconstruction, which heightens the importance of phone logs and platform records to establish a timeline and identify suspects.
