00:00And now they are going to ask, and it has to do with the search of the Argentine of 30 years, Gustavo.
00:08Well, dear Fer, good morning.
00:11Good morning.
00:12There in the background you are seeing, this is the Virgin of here in Punta del Este.
00:17This is the Virgin who brought the expedition of Solís in 1516,
00:21and it seems that today she wants to congratulate us and is giving us a calm sea,
00:26in that sea where the tactical divers are working in this rocky area.
00:31I'm in the Emil, dear Fer, as you can see.
00:34Today the sea is calm, and today it has been possible to do the work.
00:38There in the background I see the prefecture boats working,
00:43which are through boats.
00:45I see the water motorbikes.
00:47I see the tactical divers about 400 meters away.
00:50I want to tell you that as the hours go by,
00:54and because of the experience that one has here of work of so many years,
00:57and of talking to the experts, the possibilities are diluted.
01:01And I have to be honest with you, with the team, and with everything that is looking at us.
01:06Now that it happens, now that I am worrying more,
01:09because we do not have an answer so far.
01:12We have a tactical team working, a deployment,
01:15a mesh that has spread over the kilometer of search,
01:20with which it does ... I'm going to turn a little.
01:22Come here, Mr. Director.
01:23Fernando, what you are seeing there is the Atlantic Ocean.
01:26The sea is suctioning.
01:28And with the strength, with the vigorousness that it had yesterday,
01:32when it is suctioning, it can take it kilometers inland.
01:35It can take it to Piriápolis, it can take it to Rocha.
01:38That is to say ...
01:42I do not have many words of encouragement for friends, for family.
01:47Just tell them that there is a denoted search,
01:50to try to find some clue.
01:53That tide that gave us hope yesterday,
01:55that movement of the sea that you remember yesterday gave us hope,
01:58and we said, well, maybe in that first search, which is close,
02:01they were not going to find that person they were looking for,
02:05because the tide could have thrown him somewhere else,
02:08and he, perhaps unconscious, had appeared on some beach around.
02:13But the search has already spread, you were telling us,
02:16a kilometer at least, around.
02:19Everywhere.
02:20No, no, no.
02:21Everywhere.
02:22On the beach, kilometers.
02:24On the beach, kilometers.
02:25But in the sea, I have a semicircle of a meter in diameter,
02:30which is where it is being searched.
02:32Maybe a little more, because more than 24 hours have passed.
02:35And I want to say this because this boy, dear Fer,
02:38was a young boy of 30 years,
02:40a worker who had come to do the season,
02:43who was in the aid of an imprudent,
02:46who got into an area like this, Rocosa,
02:49which we know is closed, which is prohibited,
02:51you can't take a bath here.
02:53Although there is no sign specifically,
02:56where I am standing, that says,
02:57you can't take a bath here,
02:59anyone realizes that even the little one,
03:01we are going to show it,
03:02even the little one knows that he cannot get in.
03:04Everyone knows that this area is dangerous, right?
03:06One cannot get into the sea.
03:08You can walk along the shore or sunbathe,
03:10as the lady does,
03:11but this imprudent lady,
03:13who got in and didn't stand up,
03:15forced other girls to go to her rescue.
03:17And when they saw that the two of them were in trouble,
03:19the two boys got in.
03:20And right away, two prefecture officers
03:23who were walking,
03:24they left the whole team,
03:25the gun, the boots, the vest,
03:27and they got in to help.
03:29And unfortunately, the sea sucked this young man
03:33of 30 years of bull last name,
03:35who we are still looking for.
03:37Good, good.
03:38Yes, the first data spoke of the girl who had gotten in.
03:42Then we learned something else, Gus,
03:44which was the subsequent help that came
03:47and the presence of Franco Toro in that place,
03:51who, seeing the situation,
03:52quickly tries to help.
03:57Yes, yes.
03:58That's right, because the story is like this.
04:01All the boys worked
04:02in a gastronomic establishment,
04:04or work in a gastronomic establishment,
04:06and they went out to celebrate the night of the 31st.
04:08The night of the 31st in Punta del Este was full,
04:11but there was not even the square bench free.
04:14It was impressive.
04:15Forty parties,
04:16seventy places on the night of the 31st,
04:20thousands of people celebrating.
04:22And the truth is that they had had a nice night.
04:24And it is a ritual to come and look for the first sun of the year,
04:28the one of 2025.
04:30And these guys went to an area,
04:31they were in an area like this,
04:33of stones and sand,
04:34full, let's show,
04:35as if it were this.
04:36Let's suppose that we are here,
04:37the six of us,
04:38one of the imprudent girls,
04:39got into the sea,
04:41did not set foot,
04:42and there began this outcome
04:45that ends with the disappearance
04:47of this young man of 30 years,
04:49a working boy
04:50who had come to make the season.
04:53Thank you, Gustavo.
04:54We hope to have good news
04:56when we have a contact with you.
04:59But hey, you already described to us
05:00what the situation is
05:01and how the search continues
05:03for Franco Toro,
05:04the 30-year-old Argentine
05:06who got into the sea to help
05:08and who is now disappearing.
