The remains found in the Tragadero River, in the Emerenciano neighborhood, are human. The information has just been confirmed by the prosecutor’s office that is carrying out the investigation for the crime of Cecilia Strzyzowski. The next step will be to carry out a genetic analysis of the material to confirm or rule out that it is the young woman who disappeared in Chaco on June 6.
In this investigation, the Chaco Fisalía requested the collaboration of the Institute of Forensic Medicine (IMF) of the Judiciary of Córdoba. “In this type of crime, solidarity between the different experts is important so that we can respond in the most serious and scientific way possible. Beyond the judicial process and everything that can generate politically, there is a humanitarian side that must be rescued. The Cecilia’s family has the right to recover the remains or whatever there is of the remains to be able to grieve,” said the entity’s director, david dibbto NEWS.
Bone remains: analysis in the pig farm and in the Tragadero River
The IMF team was summoned by the Chaco Justice on June 16. The rakes in the family field of the Sign they had found skeletal remains and wanted to confirm or rule out that they were human.
That material was found in a pig’s shop that is on the property. The information fed all kinds of media speculation: not only was it stated that Cecilia had been thrown to the pigs, but it was circulated that other people’s bones had been found on that property.
From the IMF they sent two specialists: the anthropologist Anahí Ginarte already a forensic doctor with experience in cases of crimes of women whose bodies were hidden, Florence Granton.
“We did not bring any material to Córdoba. Everything that was there was analyzed and nothing had the appearance of a human being. There were only a couple of remains that were difficult to interpret because they were not complete. And some bones were found that seemed to be from monkeys “, counted Dib.
With the news that new remains were found in the Tragadero River, Ginarte and granton They traveled again today. They traveled with the objective of collaborating in the new analyzes and also took monkey skeletons to confirm the information of the first finding. Although it sounds strange for those who are not familiar with this area, dib he explained that “this is the usual work that forensic anthropologists do.”
The forensic odontologist also joined this second trip Andrea Altamirano. It was summoned because among what was found in the river area there would be some dental pieces.
Skeletal remains in the Tragadero River: genetic studies
After confirmation by the prosecution that the remains found in the Tragadero River are human and not animal, a new phase begins. Now the experts must carry out a genetic analysis of the material to confirm if it is Cecilia Strzyzowski.
“The time for the genetic analysis depends on what is found and in what conditions. If the bone remains are short-lived, it cannot take more than ten or fifteen days,” he said. Dib.
In addition to having the support of the IMF, the experts from Chaco also invited the Instituto Médico Legal de Corrientes to participate. In this stage that is beginning, the idea is to carry out a multidisciplinary expertise in which the experts of the parties can also participate.
“The collaboration and contribution that each one can make based on their trajectory is key to being able to give a solid and firm response,” he concluded. Dib.
