00:00You heard the news, because you know, when a person disappears, there is the Sofía alert.
00:05We started to wonder what happened.
00:08Yesterday we were talking during the whole day about a little boy named Lian, Lian Torelli.
00:13And unfortunately, now we are going to see the images.
00:15They found him dead. He was 12 years old.
00:19He had been missing since Sunday in Salto.
00:22They had seen him for the last time when he went fishing in the municipal swimming pool of this city, in the province of Buenos Aires.
00:28It was a really intense search.
00:31Some German colleagues said that the find was made around 9.30 at night,
00:36stating that the boy was trapped under the walkway, where there is a kind of wall and an important well that had been made below.
00:43But well, after the luctuous find, you have to do the corresponding autopsy to know the causes of this.
00:48It is what the prosecutor Leandro Mazón from the Mercedes Office 4 is trying to determine.
00:53He fell into the water or was pushed.
00:56It is what he is going to try to determine, not only with the autopsy,
00:59but also with testimonies and the possibility of a camera in the area.
01:04There was a mega operation that had more than 170 police officers.
01:08From Monday, the boy disappears on Sunday.
01:10Even the province had provided light towers to continue looking for him during the night.
01:15Now, German, sorry, pushed because to steal him, to make a joke.
01:19Because there were other boys.
01:21Of course, he had gone with his mother and brother.
01:23And presumably, the young man, on Sunday, is lost in their sight.
01:28They thought he had gone to see his father.
01:31Let's see, because of the situation they are in, it could not have been thrown,
01:34what the authorities understand at least, to swim.
01:37He could have fallen or they could have pushed him.
01:40Let's see, there are no specific testimonies yet, but the prosecutor does not want to rule out anything at all.
01:45In that sense, the investigation, as you know, the body was found yesterday.
01:51It is very, very, very initial yet, but it is worked on that line.
01:56It may have been an accident, but it does not want to rule out the possibility
02:00that it may have been a homicide for now.
02:03Let's see, Fabián García is the Director of the Provincial Civil Defense.
02:06Fabián, thank you for this contact.
02:09Yes, good morning. Thank you very much for the call.
02:12No, please, what are the hypotheses that you are handling, Fabián?
02:15Well, the hypotheses are handled by the prosecutor.
02:19We are from the province of Buenos Aires.
02:21Yesterday, at 1.30 p.m., the police asked us for cooperation in the search.
02:27At 3 p.m., I arrived with a helicopter to the area.
02:31Previously, we did an aerial search.
02:33And we determined the mobilization of the police forces,
02:38of the different superintendences,
02:41of the superintendence of communication with the drones,
02:44the superintendence of sinister security with the tactical buses
02:47and the rescue direction.
02:49Also, the rural police, the different bodies,
02:52and they did the search also around other areas,
02:57not on the bed of the water, because there were other hypotheses as well.
03:01But above all, we established an incident command in what we call point zero.
03:06Point zero is the last place where the strongest versions said that the boy was there,
03:12because there were several versions.
03:14The versions were that he was in this area that is called La Pileta.
03:20For you to understand, this is over the Salto River.
03:23There is a pool and a municipal camp.
03:26There is a very, very large building,
03:30which has been emblematic here in the city for many years.
03:34And a few meters away, there is a dike that regulates the flow.
03:37We see this in many rivers in our province.
03:41It regulates the flow, and then, before that dike,
03:45a more considerable height is produced in the river, right?
03:51Of course.
03:52There are many fish, a lot, that jump, right?
03:57For you to have an idea, they come like the trout that go from river to river.
04:02Yes, yes.
04:03The boys and the people get together a lot in this place.
04:06They go fishing, they go playing on a Sunday with a lot of temperature, right?
04:09Yes, yes, of course.
04:10So, well, that was the place where they saw him for the last time.
04:13And that's where we found him four hours after starting the search,
04:20with more professionalism, so to speak,
04:25with the armed incident system command and the whole team working.
04:29Based on your experience, Fabián, is it logical that it was an accident?
04:33I mean, because that's a place, according to what we've heard from family and friends,
04:37that he used to go to with people from his own neighborhood.
04:42Yes, but it's a very dangerous area.
04:44It's not suitable for the bathroom, especially for a boy of that age.
04:47Then you have to establish if the boy fell alone,
04:51if he was bathing, if someone pushed him.
04:53The prosecutor will determine that, right?
04:56It's an area, we're talking about a 12-year-old boy,
05:00next to a dam, right?
05:03A dam, apart from the fact that there is water friction beyond the depth.
05:08Of course.
05:09And the sinkholes that are below,
05:12there is also water running there,
05:15so there are underground currents, right?
05:18Fabián.
05:19So it's a very dangerous area, not suitable for the bathroom.
05:21I don't know if…
05:22Not for the bathroom?
05:23Not for any kind of activity, not just for the bathroom.
05:26Not to be fishing, not to be walking, that kind of thing.
05:29I don't know if he has the information and can give it to us,
05:32if the body was found with clothing.
05:36The body was trapped,
05:38there was a time, what we did was
05:41open a parallel channel,
05:43which caused that pool to go down to its level,
05:49so that the pressure on the wall,
05:52that is, almost, for you to have an idea,
05:54the river dried up, so to speak,
05:56there were very few centimeters of water left.
05:58On the other side of the dam,
06:00there was a little more water,
06:01but there the divers could work, right?
06:04And the body was there,
06:07evidently, on Sunday, right?
06:09That will also determine it,
06:11autopsy will determine it,
06:13and then the investigation.
06:14But the body would be,
06:15from the day they didn't see it,
06:17in the conditions they didn't see it,
06:18there was no priori,
06:20no indication of any other question, right?
06:24Sure.
06:25And the people who had said
06:27that this had been the last place,
06:28were friends, relatives,
06:30people who recognized him
06:31by the images that the media spread?
06:34Yes, the family made the complaint
06:37on Monday at 7 p.m.
06:40We also understand,
06:42because of the work with volunteer firefighters,
06:45that firefighters did it a while before,
06:48so firefighters and civil defense
06:50of the municipality of Salto
06:52made a search on Sunday
06:54also, approximately at 6 p.m., right?
06:57At 7 p.m. the complaint is made
07:00in the local police station.
07:02There was a period of more than 24 hours
07:05of uncertainty,
07:07because of family issues,
07:09that the boy didn't know,
07:10the parents say they don't live together,
07:12well, there was a question there
07:14that it was not known where the boy was, right?
07:17To make a comparison,
07:18it's not very nice,
07:19but yesterday it was talked about,
07:20it was compared with the Logan case,
07:21obviously, what was done
07:23and that it was positive,
07:24unfortunately luctuous,
07:26the outcome,
07:27but it didn't leave the zero zone,
07:30where it was last seen
07:32to the boy,
07:33and that results in
07:35at least the operation
07:37has been positive in that sense, right?
07:40Yes, yes,
07:41that's why you think
07:43that the prosecutor requires
07:45the province of Buenos Aires
07:47at 1.30 p.m.
07:49of yesterday, Tuesday,
07:51and immediately
07:53Minister Javier Alonso,
07:55by order of the governor,
07:56decides this important mobilization,
07:58and an operation was set up
08:00with more than 170 people,
08:02drones, helicopters,
08:04search dogs,
08:06search dogs,
08:08the first hours are fundamental,
08:10although it had been a while
08:12since the disappearance,
08:14the last time they saw him,
08:16but of course,
08:18if things start to dilate,
08:20they get more complicated.
08:21Of course, of course, of course.
08:23Well, Fabian,
08:24thank you very much
08:25for this contribution
08:26to learn a little more
08:28about what could have happened.
08:30No, well, thank you very much.
08:31Goodbye, see you later.
