Agents of the Argentine Federal Police (PFA) found a buried backpack and other items this afternoon in an operation looking for traces of Facundo Astudillo Castro (22), about eight kilometers from Mayor Buratovich and meters from where three witnesses claimed to have seen him, on April 30, when he was being taken to a police car of the Buenos Aires Police.
As he could corroborate Clarion, in the place were the young man’s mother, Cristina Castro (42), and the lawyer Luciano Peretto, in addition to the federal agents commanded by the head of the Bahía Blanca Delegation of the PFA, Commissioner Pablo Messineo.
To the area, on a local road close to National Route 3, they came after the testimony of a seer. The operation was carried out near a canal that leads to a wind farm, about a hundred meters from where the three witnesses said they saw when policemen took him up to Facundo to a patrol car, when they were going from Pedro Luro to Bahía Blanca, on April 30. .
That image was reflected in a photo that was made public almost two months after the disappearance. Facundo is seen from behind, with a police officer, and under the patrol’s trunk a Wilson backpack.

“I have no hope of finding Facundo alive. My mother’s heart says that my son is no longer alive,” said the mother of the young Pedro Luro native who has been missing for 98 days.

After the discovery of a gift from Facundo’s grandmother in the detachment, two days ago, the complaint asked prosecutor Martínez to arrest four policemen “from Buratovich and Origone.”
The young man’s mother expressed that it gives him “a lot of helplessness and a lot of anger knowing” knowing that his son was in “police stations and they lied” about it. “They continue to lie, they continue working and they are still free,” he warned.
