Prosecutors Confirm DNA Identifies Valeria Schwab’s Killer

Prosecutors say a reciprocal DNA match and a single genetic profile conclusively establish authorship.

Overview

  • Genetic testing found the suspect’s DNA under Schwab’s nails and in genital swabs, and her DNA was detected on him, according to the fiscalía.
  • Authorities identified the perpetrator as Jonathan Mario C., who died by suicide shortly after the homicide in Comodoro Rivadavia.
  • Investigators reviewed extensive camera footage and movement data, placing the suspect alone along the route to the scene and at a prior residence.
  • Prosecutors reported a single genetic profile in the victim’s samples, which they say excludes participation by additional perpetrators.
  • The autopsy recorded asphyxia as the cause of death, and the family has urged that the case not be archived as formal documentation and expert analyses continue.
