👉 En la pequeña localidad de Ballesteros Sud, Córdoba, se lleva a cabo una intensa búsqueda del pequeño Lian, desaparecido hace tres días. Las autoridades han ampliado el área de rastrillaje gracias a la mejora del clima. La investigación se centra en varias hipótesis, incluyendo una posible sustracción. Tres camionetas blancas han sido secuestradas para su análisis. El caso ha generado un gran hermetismo por parte de la fiscalía y movilizado a fuerzas federales y locales.

NewsTranscript
00:00Let's see, we are going to do the complete tour from the entrance to Ballesteros South
00:05to the point 0 where Alejandro Pueblas and Diego Traferi are located.
00:10To give you a little context, the weather began to improve,
00:13that is excellent news, because they will continue with the tracking.
00:17From 1200 meters they will advance to 2500 meters and they will reach this place that we want to present to you.
00:23Observe, this iron bridge is the main access,
00:27the only access that Ballesteros South actually has, this small town of 700 inhabitants.
00:33And yesterday Juan Pablo Quinteros, the Minister of Security of the province of Córdoba,
00:37mentioned this watercourse, the Third River,
00:41which is 4,000 meters from point 0, from that brick cut-off
00:46where Lian lives with his five brothers and his parents.
00:50This is the Third River.
00:52Observe that there are no boats.
00:54This area is going to be tracked, we are going to stop for a minute since there is no traffic.
00:58This area, first medium to 24, this area is going to be tracked possibly in the afternoon today
01:04or in the morning, because the weather began to improve.
01:08They are going to go through the margins of the Third River,
01:10obviously a creature of three years, 90 centimeters high,
01:14it is very difficult for it to have reached this watercourse.
01:18However, what Quinteros said is that from the interviews that the parents gave,
01:22they did mention, and the statements, 10 hours of statements yesterday,
01:27Lian's parents said that they used to come to this watercourse
01:32as a recreational space on weekends.
01:34So they are going to come here and they are going to track.
01:36But look at this postcard, which is the first impact that one has as a foreigner in this region,
01:42in this place.
01:43This is how we enter Ballesteros South.
01:46We have an Argentine flag flaming.
01:49Look, you crossed with the consul, it seems.
01:52Exactly, look, there it says Ballesteros South, 1828-2003.
01:57This is the main access to the locality.
02:01It is paved in this area.
02:03Do the security cameras, the surveillance cameras, are located there?
02:11Not at this particular point.
02:13We know that there is a camera at the entrance that we are now going to cross.
02:16We have to see if they are operational, if they are in operation.
02:19Look, look, here is the access to Ballesteros South, the official sign.
02:23Further ahead it tells us about school space.
02:26Notice that there are few apples.
02:28Here is a sign with an order.
02:30It tells us that it is forbidden to park in this area.
02:32Pedestrian priority.
02:35This is the access, that is, in the case that these vehicles,
02:39there are three white trucks that were kidnapped,
02:43which they are going to inspect,
02:45which are going to do odorous tests with the dogs, with the binomials.
02:49And also luminol.
02:51The truck, the most important truck,
02:54and now I'm going to show you the cameras,
02:56is a Toyota Hilux, not an Amarok Volkswagen.
02:58A Toyota Hilux that was kidnapped.
03:00And look, here we have the first camera.
03:02Monitoring with security cameras.
03:0424-hour video surveillance.
03:07Ballesteros South municipality.
03:09There are two very important cameras.
03:11That is, these cameras, this material,
03:13we presume that it is already in the power of the prosecutor Isabel Reina.
03:16Prosecutor, by the way,
03:18who is working with a really incredible hermeticism.
03:21A total hermeticism.
03:23In fact, this was one of the reasons why
03:25she resigned after 24 hours of sponsorship,
03:29the Roman doctor.
03:32Why? Because she said that from the prosecution
03:35they asked Lian's parents
03:37not to formulate any type of journalistic statement.
03:41And even from the prosecution they would have told her
03:43that there was no need to have a legal sponsorship
03:46because they were only as witnesses.
03:48Look at this other postcard.
03:50Another welcome that Ballesteros South gives us.
03:52A square, a small square.
03:54A gray place where you usually play.
03:56Where you take a nap.
03:58There is a soul.
04:00It is a town that now looks, of course,
04:02upset by all this that is happening,
04:04but there is no one.
04:06At the moment there is very little movement.
04:09There are 700 inhabitants.
04:11Notice that now, entering,
04:13we are already advancing towards zone 0.
04:15In the case of advancing,
04:17also with the hypothesis of subtraction of the minor,
04:20considering that they are about to fulfill,
04:22in two hours, 72 hours they are about to fulfill,
04:24according to what the father said,
04:26in that window of time between 15 and 17
04:28in which they would have presumably
04:30subtracted Lian,
04:32because he is convinced, the father,
04:34that Lian was taken away.
04:36The father even used a very particular word.
04:38They did not study, said the father.
04:40They did not study.
04:42Who is he referring to?
04:44Who studied Lian's family
04:46in that building?
04:48Cristian, that hermeticism
04:50that you bring,
04:52it is like that,
04:54but within the hypotheses
04:56the family is investigated.
04:58Yes, well, in fact,
05:00there has been a recognition of Dr. Baggini
05:02in relation to that.
05:04He said it in an elliptical and elegant way.
05:06He said, in these cases,
05:08but the importance of what you are doing,
05:10Cristian, has to do with the fact
05:12that in the hypothesis of the subtraction
05:14via truck,
05:16that is the only possible route
05:18for the truck.
05:20It is from that camera that you marked us
05:22that it was possible to individualize it,
05:24take it for the investigation
05:26in the search,
05:28and also take the owner's cell phone.
05:30Why do they put a fence there, Cristian?
05:32What was that fence?
05:34The fence,
05:36this area can still be circulated,
05:38let's see how far they allow us,
05:40but notice that
05:42what has to do with
05:44the street itself
05:46has already ceased to be dirt
05:48to become mud because it has been flooding
05:50since today's dawn.
05:52That made the tracking tasks difficult.
05:54They could not work with the drones
05:56or with the dog binomials,
05:58but now that the climate has begun to improve,
06:00notice, these footprints are in fact
06:02the footprints of the Federal Police
06:04that Alejandro Pueblas presented to us
06:06with Diego Traferi.
06:08We are going to bend very carefully,
06:10look at the mud,
06:12look at this situation that we have to do now
06:14very carefully to be able to access,
06:16the vehicle skids,
06:18we are going to slow down,
06:20this is the path, the only access road,
06:22rural road that will take us
06:24to Elías' house.
06:26We cannot go more than 10 km per hour.
06:28Four years ago, according to Elías,
06:30it is true that the parents
06:32are also being investigated.
06:34I understand that the doctor
06:36that you said
06:38will assume the defense of the parents
06:40has not yet signed,
06:42has not signed yet,
06:44would be in that process
06:46to finally
06:48assume the defense.
06:50Look, look how we skid.
06:52The vehicle skids,
06:54we almost go down,
06:56we have to slow down a lot.
06:58All the technical teams
07:00that are working,
07:02including the army,
07:04here it says precaution, dangerous crossing.
07:06We are already entering a field area
07:08and notice that here
07:10the road is already closed,
07:12there is a danger tape.
07:14We know that the prosecutor arranged
07:16that between 8.30 and 8.00 in the morning
07:18the press has to withdraw from the place
07:20for security reasons.
07:22Notice that here they have placed a danger tape.
07:24We are going to go down in this place.
07:26We are going to go down
07:28to show you
07:30what is the access to the place,
07:32which also gives me a deja vu with the access
07:34on July 9 to what is the field of Grandma Catalina
07:368 months and 13 days
07:38from the disappearance of Loa.
07:40And considering that on March 6,
07:42the Federal Chamber of Currents
07:44has to define about the 7 proceedings
07:46for concealment and subtraction.
07:48Look at this place.
07:50Now, Cristian, if you wanted to go
07:52where the journalistic coverage is,
07:54you can't go through there.
07:56You have a way to get there
07:58if you wanted to go to Ale Pueblas, for example.
08:00How do you get to Zone 0?
08:04Well, there is a gazebo
08:06that is a few meters away,
08:08which we do not see now present,
08:10which is those who point out
08:12where you can access.
08:14First of all, we have this danger tape.
08:16We are going to respect it in the first instance
08:18because this indicates something.
08:20This indicates something,
08:22this is a police officer,
08:24from the province of Córdoba,
08:26but this is leaving evidence
08:28of how he is working,
08:30what has to do with perimetering the area.
08:32You just saw the consul
08:34who was allowed to approach
08:36and enter that area
08:38where other media are working.
08:40Look, more vehicles are starting to arrive here
08:42that go and leave permanently
08:44from what is the area,
08:46but there are at least 150 officers
08:48who are going to track these fields.
08:50Here is a farm.
08:52We know that there are corn crops,
08:54there are also corn crops,
08:56and there are also soy crops.
08:58There are a total of 18 hectares.
09:02How far are you from Lian's house?
09:06Approximately, Cristian.
09:08From Lian's house,
09:10we should be, I tell you,
09:12no more than three,
09:14it should be about a thousand meters.
09:16A thousand meters away from the house.
09:18Where is the other door?
09:20Yes, the grasshoppers appear
09:22that will also reach you,
09:24like Alejandro, up to your waist.
09:26They cover a little boy
09:28less than a meter.
09:30A 90-centimeter creature,
09:32which is Lian's measure,
09:34according to the yellow alert
09:36of Interpol,
09:38which you put very well in the air
09:40and which has been in force
09:42since today's day,
09:44we repeat,
09:46with the power of provincial justice,
09:48but already with federal forces present.
09:50Let us also remember that the SOFIA alert
09:52was given on Sunday at 6 p.m.,
09:54practically 24 hours after the event occurred.
09:56But yes, they are very tall grasshoppers.
09:58Very tall.
10:00Few houses in this place,
10:02and in addition to crops in this place,
10:04and the grasshoppers have worked
10:06in a very meticulous way,
10:08especially the first 48 hours.
10:10Yesterday, actually, at dawn,
10:12they were working for the technical teams,
10:14not with artificial light.
10:16The helicopter this morning
10:18from the province could not
10:20make the flights.
10:22Now, we assume that at any time
10:24it will do it again.
10:26The sun begins to rise,
10:28and this is a good point,
10:30because they will continue to track
10:32to where? To the Third River,
10:34where our journey began.
10:36No cameras on the roads, right?
10:38No. Only at the entrance,
10:40the two that Cristian showed
10:42that someone from the investigation
10:44points to me, because there is
10:46the data of the white truck,
10:48in the access chamber.
10:50Yes, and it is not less,
10:52because there are three white trucks.
10:54The one they have in sight is a Toyota Hilux,
10:56white, practically zero kilometers,
10:58which, in principle,
11:00does not have the data
11:02of where they have them kidnapped.
11:04We were touring the Belville police station,
11:06the provincial one, also the federal police.
11:08The three trucks are not there.
11:10They are not there,
11:12precisely to do the luminol tests
11:14and also the odoriferous tests,
11:16because Alejandro explained it very well.
11:18The dogs worked, the binomials,
11:20in the house of Leon,
11:22and they only went to the room,
11:24but from there they did not leave,
11:26the trail is lost.
11:28He dies in the house.
11:30He dies in the house.
11:32They went to take a nap,
11:34they were playing under a tractor,
11:36a tractor that is next to the house.
11:38Cristian, if you like,
11:40we stay with you.
11:42If you want, reaccommodate yourself.
11:44And you were just talking about the sky opening,
11:46that the sun is coming out.
11:48We are going to update the weather forecast with Miriam.
11:50What is happening in that area for these hours?
11:52Look, for now they are having
11:54a temporary improvement
11:56of the conditions.
11:58They will have a few hours of no rain.
12:00Without rain for a few hours.
12:02The temperature has dropped a lot.
12:04We are there in the order of 22 degrees,
12:06nothing more.
12:08But the wind is blowing from the southern sector
12:10and at times quite intensely.
12:12What will happen from now on?
12:14Well, it is expected again
12:16to reactivate in the rain.
12:18Rains and some storms are expected,
12:20but isolated, not constantly.
12:22From tomorrow
12:24and at least until Friday.
12:26It means that we have several days
12:28ahead of instability
12:30with thunderstorms,
12:32with some isolated storms.
12:34And a frank improvement
12:36will be expected towards the weekend.
12:38So, unfortunately,
12:40some rains are not expected in the area yet.
12:42Marina Facundo.
12:44Yes, well, this of course complicates
12:46the search again.
12:48Just now Cristian referred to the difficulties of the dogs.
12:50Well, what we know so far,
12:52and I transfer it to you
12:54because you are our expert, Pedro,
12:56is that the trace in the house is there.
12:58Outside the house
13:00nothing of Lian was found.
13:04It's like if I put on perfume.
13:06Inside the bathroom
13:08the smell is more condensed inside the bathroom
13:10because it is preserved by the walls,
13:12by the window that is not open,
13:14the door or anything.
13:16Then if I leave the bathroom
13:18and the bathroom is outside,
13:20it is in a little field,
13:22as it happens in some houses in the north,
13:24wind, rain, all that starts to run.
13:26I wanted to ask you, Pedro,
13:28because we talk a lot about the rain,
13:30but at the time of the disappearance
13:32does it also hinder a heat of 40, 42 degrees?
13:36No, that's because
13:38the atmospheric pressure is low.
13:40What it's going to do is crush it.
13:42It crushes the dog.
13:44No, no, it doesn't crush the dog.
13:46The smell.
13:48Ah, I thought the dog didn't feel it.
13:50No, no, it's going to leave the smell down there.
13:52The issue is, I repeat,
13:54where people start to circulate,
13:56that starts to run.
13:58This is how the father of criminalism says,
14:00that the more hours pass,
14:02the more the truth escapes.
14:04Yes, that's right.
14:06Cristian, let's go back to you.
14:08The tour you are doing is key
14:10because it is the tour
14:12that the hijacked trucks made.
14:14And the truth is that
14:16yesterday the neighbors told us,
14:18Ale Pueblas,
14:20there is no reason to go there
14:22if you don't go to the ovens,
14:24if you don't go home to buy bricks.
14:26It is not understood why,
14:28what was the truck doing there?
14:30What was Cristian Balbo doing there?
14:34Yes, it is an excellent question.
14:36Let's remember that there is a witness
14:38who said that in that time window
14:40between 15 and 17
14:42he saw a white truck
14:44with polarized glasses, very dark.
14:46The only one that has those characteristics
14:48is a Toyota Hilux,
14:50not the other two in which it has really polarized glasses.
14:52But here where we can go,
14:54on this side,
14:56there comes a man, a young man in a quadricycle.
14:58Let's see if we can advance here,
15:00through this sector.
15:02In this area we have the OK
15:04to be able to advance.
15:06Notice that it is a rural area.
15:10There comes a man in a quadricycle.
15:12Let's see if we can get closer when he comes.
15:14Here is an open trunk in this place.
15:16And we repeat,
15:18everything indicates that at any time
15:20they will continue with the logic of tracking
15:22with dogs and also with drones
15:24from this climatic issue.
15:28But let's see if we can
15:30get closer here, through this sector.
15:34Look, there we see
15:36a young man who is approaching.
15:38This is the way, the path
15:40that is already approaching us
15:42to the first houses,
15:44which are also eyes
15:46and we presume that they will also begin
15:48to take testimonial statements
15:50to those who live in this area,
15:52which is not a minor fact,
15:54but there are some houses,
15:56which are few by the way.
15:58The tracking has not yet reached there
16:00or at least the investigation has not arrived
16:02to take testimonials there, Cristian?
16:04They are a thousand meters away, they are close.
16:06No, it has not yet arrived.
16:08It has not yet reached this area,
16:10not here.
16:12They have traveled what is the area
16:14of the brick cutters,
16:16which is another chapter,
16:18to deepen, to investigate,
16:20because the pyramid there,
16:22in the framework of that business,
16:24is not that it only stays there.
16:26Those bricks, let's say,
16:28are distributed in the province of Córdoba,
16:30there are suppliers.
16:32Cristian, look, if you think
16:34you left a topic raised,
16:36which is the brick business,
16:38where there may be a line of investigation.
16:40Especially Marina, because at one point
16:42they asked the father for debts,
16:44for some internal, for some problem
16:46and he said, well, some problems,
16:48commercial activity on average.
16:50The issue is that it is a problem
16:52that justifies a revenge,
16:54if that is the line, right?
16:56If it is the line, and then we also want
16:58to address with you, Cristian,
17:00the line of investigation that goes
17:02to the healer, to the grandmother
17:04and some suggestive messages
17:06found on cell phones
17:08of the most intimate environment of the family,
17:10where, well, there are phrases
17:12that taken out of context are rare,
17:14of the type, pass it on,
17:16of the type, the grandmother is ready.
17:18We do not move, we are live,
17:20day number 3, the search of Elian,
17:22as always, the screen 24.
