Overview
- Prosecutors in La Plata confirmed through DNA that bones found on January 3 near 215 and 519 in Abasto belong to the 30-year-old missing since December 24.
- With the identification, the case shifted from a missing-person inquiry to an investigation into causes of death under Fiscal Patricio Barraza of Fiscalía N.º 6.
- Forensic and anthropological exams continue after investigators noted the partial, fragmented remains showed little soft tissue despite the short interval since the disappearance.
- Family members cite a WhatsApp message from the partner stating “Yanina is not coming back” and say he has not been seen locally since, making him a focus of their concerns.
- No arrests or formal charges have been made, and relatives and neighbors marched on February 18 to demand progress and accountability.
