Bruno was 8 years old and lived in Las Rosas. However, the day he disappeared, on Sunday, March 2, 1997, he traveled to Rosario with his parents and brothers, to enjoy the La Florida spa.
While his mother was preparing lunch he went to some games that were 100 meters away with his brothers, and was never seen again.
The second case that is still active is that of Axel Ledesma, who was 2 years old when he disappeared on January 27, 2008, from his humble home in Pérez. The complaint was filed by his mother, Liliana Ledesma, 25, and the police’s first hypothesis was that he had been sold to a couple in the rural area of Pérez. Nothing could be verified and there are no clues about the child.

The last one is that of Maxi Sosa, from Ceres, who has been missing from her home since 2015. In this case, her maternal grandmother was convicted and later acquitted, accused of having sold her own grandson.
Milagros Rivadera, Provincial Director of Human Rights Protection, explained by LT10 that in these cases, “The photo is reconstructed so that the image is more real and according to the age that person would be. And as technology advances these reconstructions are supposed to become more accurate.”
On the other hand, he explained that in Santa Fe there is a provincial law, “achieved by the militancy of the families and by virtue of the search for Bruno and what it does is create the provincial registry of information on children and missing persons in the area.” of the Secretariat of Human Rights. This law is prior to the creation of the MPA, which is why many of these functions are currently in the hands of the prosecutor’s office.
Regarding how the process continues, he explained that “the Secretariat becomes aware of all the complaints from the referral to the Police Stations of all the territories. This referral is immediate and from that moment on we coordinate with the family, the prosecutor’s office and the police station, and “What is achieved is a bond of trust with the family, so we receive information that is not important to the case or that they do not feel immediacy to tell the prosecutor.”
Counseling and support is provided to the family and they are responsible for disseminating the photo so that anyone can provide information.
Finally, Rivadera emphasized that “They do not have to wait 24 hours to make the report, it is not necessary. It does not have to be a direct family member who makes it either. Having a daily connection is enough.”
