Overview
- Chilean authorities confirmed that 23-year-old Lourdes Rosario Brizuela presented herself at a police unit in San Fernando and was reported to be in good health, prompting officials to cancel the active search.
- Brizuela last contacted her family on May 20 saying she felt followed and then stopped answering calls and messages, which triggered alarm among relatives.
- Her family filed a formal complaint and Fundación Volviendo a Casa issued an international alert to coordinate searches and solicit public tips across Argentina and Chile.
- Search operations concentrated around Pichilemu and Punta de Lobos while investigators refrained from disclosing where Brizuela spent the five days she was missing.
- Brizuela lived in Punta de Lobos since December 2025 and investigators say her account will be central to establishing what happened and whether criminal charges or welfare actions follow.
