Overview
- Police intensified the search after analysts matched hospital and street camera images to the suspect using facial recognition.
- The woman gave birth Thursday at Tartagal’s Juan Domingo Perón Hospital, gave false identity data, and then left without the baby.
- The newborn is stable and remains in Casa Cuna, a state-run home that provides short-term protective care for infants.
- Health officials said their involvement ended after the delivery and stabilization, with the investigation now led by the courts and provincial police.
- Authorities say the suspect is from Formosa, which could require cross-province coordination and may lead to charges for abandonment under Argentine law.
