Overview
- Investigators located Agostina Vega’s body in a descampado near barrio Ampliación Ferreyra, police sources confirmed late Saturday.
- Claudio Gabriel Barrelier remains the only person detained and is the principal suspect after camera domes and cellphone antenna analysis placed him and the girl at his home and the search area.
- Search teams conducted large rastrillajes over hundreds of hectares with helicopters, drones, dogs and specialized units before the discovery, guided by domo footage that tracked Barrelier’s movements.
- Authorities seized a Ford Ka linked to Barrelier and sent it to Policía Científica for peritaje after finding signs it had been washed; the suspect’s statements contained multiple contradictions according to officials.
- The case is under secreto de sumario, the suspect’s lawyer resigned shortly before the discovery, and prosecutors say forensic results will decide whether to reclassify the file to more serious homicide or femicide charges.
