Argentina - Loan Peña, 5, went orange pick w/fam, shoe found, local police chief arrested, as well as others, Nueve de Julio, 13 Jun 2024

Oh so Perez is pointing at the grandmother Catalina because she didn't like Loan's mother. Interesting.

Twist in the tale it seems.
Circling back to the grandmother again...

Caillava's testimony doesn't add much, only that she has been an informant to the police for two years for drug trafficking. Both her and her husband say that Benitez didn't say a word at lunch.

There were articles a while ago saying that Benitez was seen without a shirt, then with a black shirt, then with a red or blue shirt. That's suspicious. A lot of times when criminals try to escape they change their clothing to not be recognized by strangers.

What color shirt did he have on at lunch if he was at the table?

Need to look at that photo again taken on June 15th, 2024.

Regarding Witness testimony about what colors were on him (shirt) and being topless one part there - they may or may not be reliable depending on when those statements were taken as well as how much attention was really on him with a missing child.

I've been trying to find the one that has all their names on it. I was certain it was here somewhere in the earlier posts between Pages 1- 4. May even have been in one of the newspaper articles or links.

Still looking...

He is the one behind the man with glasses on the right side of the photo.

Looks like he is wearing a grey blue shirt.

Following the statement by Walter Maciel, the Federal judge once again imposed secrecy of the case, a measure that does not allow either the defense or the plaintiffs to access the latest inquiries.

“Declare the confidentiality of the case for a period of ten days, in accordance with the provisions of article 204, second paragraph, last part, of the Criminal Procedure Code of the Nation (CPPN) and for the reasons given in the recitals,” says the four-page document signed by the judge.

The investigation will put special emphasis on Loan's false appearance. There is a window where there may be an active part of Maciel in some physical harm to Loan, when the former commissioner left with the news that they found the child, and returns with the news of a false alarm from a thermal camera of a drone.

Former police commissioner Walter Maciel testified in Goya and pointed the finger at Laudelina Peña and Anotinio Benítez, as being responsible for the minor's disappearance. No further details about this statement have been released at this time.

Maciel answered about 50 questions put to him by Judge Cristina Pozzer Penzo, although he did not provide any relevant information for the resolution of the case. On the contrary, he declared himself innocent of the charges against him: abduction and concealment of the minor and threats.

Antonio Benítez's defense requested a meeting between his client and his wife, Laudelina Peña. The judge agreed to the request for a meeting between Laudelina Peña and Antonio Benítez (this meeting must be accepted by Laudelina, who also has the option of refusing).

The judge ordered that the couple, accused of kidnapping and concealing the minor, face each other due to contradictions in the investigations. Judge Cristina Pozzer Penzo authorized a "confrontation" between the defendants Laudelina Peña and Antonio Benítez - Loan 's uncles - "in compliance with Articles 276, 277 and 278" of the Criminal Code of the Nation. In the same point, she clarifies that "it is not mandatory" that both defendants face each other face to face although such action could be key to unravel contradictions in the various statements.

Commissioner Walter Maciel pointed against the prosecutor in charge of the investigation at the beginning of the case, Juan Carlos Castillo, and also against his former boss, Niqui Báez, assuring they carried out the tasks of the case.

Another line, according to what El Destape was able to learn, points to Castillo himself for imposing the figure of "abandonment of a person" as the cover of the case and stressed that it was necessary to call and arrest Laudelina for the story given. Meanwhile, in relation to Niqui Báez, he assured that he did nothing alone, but that there were always actions in groups. Therefore, if he is guilty, the former police chief would also be implicated.

Monica Millapi's testimony:

After washing the dishes once lunch was over, Laudelina suggested they go to the orange grove, which struck her as surprising: “I was sitting down. After a while, five minutes or so, Laudelina said 'let’s go look for oranges'. I found it strange because she doesn’t like to walk through the woods, she doesn’t like to walk and walk.”

During the outing, she mentioned that her husband received a call from his sister, that she got distracted and lost sight of the little boy and the rest of the group. After Loan disappeared, they began to look for him in different directions. Millapi decided to take the other boys to where the cars were parked so they could go help Laudelina look for Loan.

Not finding him, she returned to the vehicle and claimed to find the children scared and revealed that "when I arrived, the children were crying in the car, and they told me that the bad man had said many bad things to them."

This is new:

The magistrate is looking, so far without success, for a blue and white refrigerator, which, according to Camila Peña, was brought to Grandma Catalina's house by Carlos Pérez and María Victoria Caillava. Some investigators suspect that Loan's lifeless body could have been hidden in that small refrigerator, which has not been found in the multiple raids carried out in 9 de Julio that tragic afternoon.

-They must mean a cooler, like for drinks. It doesn't make sense for them to bring a refrigerator.

 

[Megnut]

I wonder how much is lost on translation.

Refrigerator = cooler

Did Loan GO on the orange quest or was the orange quest a diversion, get individuals away from Loan so others could move in?

Too many people involved IMO for an accidental death/cover up.

Was this the headprice for entering into the lucrative trafficking business? Theory being, now no one can rat because everyone's in deep?

I need subtitles.

Following a call to 911 reporting that Loan was in the Buenos Aires town of Pergamino, Judge Cristina Pozzer Penzo decided to follow up on that lead and conduct two raids. According to judicial sources told El Destape, both raids were "negative" and the phone from which the call was allegedly made was seized.

Federal Police (PFA) carried out a raid on the home of Francisco Amado Méndez, the retired police officer from Corrientes. Méndez, known as an alleged informant for former police commissioner Walter Maciel, was recently arrested in connection with this case. The PFA, assisted by specialized dogs, inspected Méndez's home, located in the town of 9 de Julio, in search of clues that could help find Loan. Méndez is the eighth person arrested in this case and has not yet been questioned by federal judge Cristina Pozzer Penzo.

Laudelina's eldest son? We haven't heard anything about him. I don't even know his name. He must be older than Macarena who is around 21 years old.

During his statement, Maciel explained that he received notification of Loan's disappearance through a confidential informant. He mentioned that when he arrived at the scene, he observed Laudelina Peña behaving strangely, which aroused his suspicions. According to Maciel, Laudelina justified her delay in informing the police by claiming that she was waiting for her eldest son to return to decide what to do. This attitude, according to the former commissioner, was unusual and contributed to the initial confusion in the search for the minor.

Laudelina's neighbor is suggesting that both Laudelina and Macarena may have been pregnant recently. The neighbor, who prefers to remain anonymous for security reasons, has provided a photo which she claims shows Laudelina pregnant on 8 August 2022. The image has been presented to the Federal Court as proof that Laudelina would have been expecting a child on that date.

"Many neighbors confirm that Laudelina was pregnant in 2022," a source close to the case commented in Crónica. The neighbour also claims that Macarena was pregnant, although she was not seen with a baby.

So, if Laudelina has already sold one or more of her babies into this trafficking network (for the money), then maybe she's been trying to get pregnant again without success. In desperation, she decided to just take her brother's child and sell him. Loan wasn't supposed to be at the lunch, so she would have had to call someone from the lunch to come and get the child. The 50,000 pesos (about $2,800) she had on her when she was arrested could be the money she got for the sale.

Yikes. Just blows my mind and just couldnt keep up even tho Spanish speaker and in a more troubledLatín American country than Argentina.

This casé is so dark, so evil, so many people involved in a poor, rural community.

Has there been any intervención by authorities from Buenos Aires? Or all handled locally?

It makes me sad to see Loan's father cutting uo his lunch for him... He takes his son to ride horses at Grandma's farm and he never sees him again?
