After several days of searching to find Loan, the 5-year-old boy who disappeared in the town of 9 de Julio, in the province of Corrientes, yesterday, the Federal Police arrested three new suspects. Among them a municipal official, her husband, a native of San Juan, and the commissioner who was in charge of the search.
The Prosecutor’s Office ordered the arrest of the Production Director of the Municipality of 9 de Julio, María Victoria Caillava and her husband, Carlos Pérez, as confirmed by sources from the Public Prosecutor’s Office to Infobae. Caillava is a friend of Loan’s grandmother, while Pérez is a former Navy Prefect who retired in 2017.
In an interview that the suspect gave to Crónica TV days ago, he gave details of the lunch at Loan’s grandmother’s house, where the boy was last seen. Among the details, Pérez indicated: “I am not from here, I was born in the province of San Juan, which is completely different from this area.” The man continued with his story after what happened with Loan once they noticed that the child did not appear.
The suspects were arrested after a series of investigations with dogs that followed Loan’s trail to two vehicles belonging to a couple who were at the lunch that was held at the boy’s grandmother’s house. They left before the disappearance occurred. As a result of the procedure with the dogs, in the first vehicle the result was positive, while in the second the tests showed a partially positive result.
The word of Carlos Pérez before being arrested
One day before being arrested, Pérez and Caillava gave an interview to TN, in which the man mentioned that he was “sitting at the table the entire time, unable to leave that place.” “He had my wife on one side and the child’s father on the other, so to get out he would have had to displace one of the two,” he added.
When asked if they had any relationship with Loan’s disappearance, Pérez said: “Nothing, nothing to do with it, quite the opposite.”
