New Radar Search at Cristian Graf’s Home Finds No Evidence in 1984 Cold Case

The negative scan could shape next steps in a revived homicide case.

Overview

  • Investigators returned Monday to Cristian Graf’s house in Buenos Aires’ Coghlan neighborhood and used ground‑penetrating radar to hunt for human remains or other clues.
  • Graf’s defense said the sweep showed no targets in the soil and urged identical tests at neighboring homes to check the full area.
  • Four gendarmes led the operation with two experts from the Argentine Forensic Anthropology Team and two aides from prosecutor Martín López Perrando’s office.
  • The case moved forward after the Appeals Court overturned an October 2025 dismissal, and the prosecutor reclassified it as simple homicide with Graf as the accused.
  • The probe was rekindled when workers on May 20, 2025 uncovered 151 bone fragments later identified as 16‑year‑old Diego Fernández Lima, with forensics finding a fatal stab wound and a shallow burial beside Graf’s longtime residence.
