Argentina Raises Reward to 20 Million Pesos in Search for Guadalupe Lucero

Federal prosecutors asked for renewed publicity to generate court‑evaluated tips that will be paid under confidentiality protections.

Overview

  • The Ministry of Security formalized Resolución 472/2026 on Wednesday, May 27, 2026, increasing the reward from 5 million to 20 million pesos for information that leads to Guadalupe’s whereabouts.
  • The resolution requires that any information be evaluated by the judicial authority before the ministry pays the reward and guarantees the identity of informants will be protected.
  • An updated age‑progression image of Guadalupe was attached to the resolution and federal security forces were ordered to share the new poster widely across media and platforms to revive nationwide searches.
  • Guadalupe Belén Lucero was last seen on June 14, 2021, in the 544 Viviendas neighborhood of San Luis; the federal investigation remains open with no arrests, imputations or a settled hypothesis.
  • Authorities hope the larger reward and fresh publicity will elicit verifiable tips through the Programa Nacional de Recompensas free line 134, a step that could prompt new judicial lines of inquiry and offer the family renewed leads.
