The expert reports carried out on the woman’s car and her husband’s truck found traces of Loan and would support the presumption that these vehicles would have been used to transport the child to be delivered to another person in the province of Chaco (bordering Brazil and Paraguay).
The mayor of 9 de Julio, Sebastián Ynsaurralde, said this Saturday that he was going to remove Caillava from his duties, in statements to Miter radio, and days ago he had distrusted the local police.
The kidnapping hypothesis took hold after the intense searches of some 25 thousand hectares, which left no indication that Loan had been lost in El Algarrobal.
Given the hypothesis of kidnapping, the Federal Prosecutor’s Office of first instance of Goya requested this Friday the collaboration of the Office of the Prosecutor for Human Trafficking and Exploitation (Protex) in the framework of the federal investigation opened after Loan’s disappearance.
