00:00In the Belville area, Alejandro Pueblas. Good morning.
00:05Good morning, Antonio. We are in Ballesterosud, here in Córdoba,
00:08where Liam, three years old, was lost.
00:12Behind me is Liam's house and a mega-operative that has been deployed in this area,
00:18where new tracks are going to be made, where it is being searched intensely,
00:22and where they have not stopped for many hours in the search for Liam.
00:26This three-year-old boy, who, according to his parents,
00:29went to take a nap at 3 p.m.
00:32At 5 p.m., when they woke up, they couldn't find him.
00:35They started looking for him. He wasn't there.
00:37They made a radio call. Liam didn't show up.
00:40And apparently, Antonio, his clothes were left on the bed.
00:44Liam, with a temperature of 45 degrees, left his house
00:48and started, according to his parents, walking in the open field,
00:51and they still can't find him.
00:53We have here with us the Minister of Security, Juan Pablo Quintero,
00:56who, before starting the search,
00:59Antonio, and to be part of the operation,
01:02we thank him for this minute with us.
01:05In principle, a mega-operative, from what we are seeing,
01:08but without traces of Liam.
01:10Well, we... Good morning.
01:12First, we have been working since the very moment
01:15in which we learned that the father
01:18contacted the 101 police.
01:21This was at 7.40 p.m. on Saturday.
01:24At 8.15 p.m. there was already a rural patrol here.
01:27This is a rural sector.
01:29Ballesterosud is a very small block,
01:31which has 700 inhabitants.
01:33This is a few kilometers away.
01:35This is a fully rural area.
01:37This is a brick cutter,
01:39in which a group of families of Bolivian origin live,
01:42who are dedicated to this.
01:44At 8.15 p.m. the mobile phone of the rural patrol was already commissioned here.
01:49The parents say that, as you said in the introduction,
01:52they went to sleep,
01:54they saw Liam for the last time at 3 p.m.,
01:57and when they woke up at 5 p.m. he was no longer there.
02:00They started looking for him,
02:02at that time they gave him knowledge.
02:04At 8.30 p.m. from the police station
02:06the Belville prosecutor's office was already intervened,
02:09which is the one that has jurisdiction over this place,
02:12and the prosecutor, Isabel Reina,
02:14began to give the instructions.
02:16At 9.00 p.m. we were already with the search operation.
02:20Of course, he found us at night,
02:23he worked with dogs,
02:26he worked with people from the area,
02:28of course, with the Duar division.
02:30Yesterday, of course, we had, from very early here,
02:34days of more than 40 degrees of heat,
02:37so imagine that this also complicates everything.
02:41We were working with more than 120 people yesterday,
02:44today we already have 160,
02:46but what we did yesterday was a search in the whole area,
02:49we worked with 3 drones,
02:51today there are 7, yesterday we worked with the helicopter,
02:53the helicopter is also arriving now.
02:55We are working with the highest technology,
02:57with all the personnel,
02:59the human resources possible,
03:01and well, of course,
03:03we, from the Ministry of Security,
03:05with the Rural Police,
03:07with the Duar, and with the Gendarmería
03:09that is accompanying us,
03:11of course, the Belville volunteer firefighters
03:13we are looking for him,
03:15and the prosecution, which is evaluating the testimonies
03:18of the parents and other witnesses
03:20that there may be to handle
03:22any other hypothesis that there may be.
03:24Antonio, Juan Pablo Quintero is listening,
03:26he is the minister.
03:28Good morning, minister, good morning.
03:30How are you doing? Good morning.
03:32Exactly, you are in the area where it was lost,
03:35because what you see, well,
03:37you see a lot of bricks there,
03:39it is a brick cutter,
03:41it is totally descamped,
03:43where was the little one when he left the house?
03:46Are the houses the ones you see in the background?
03:48Well, yes, yes, exactly.
03:50The house over there, Antonio, look,
03:52Diego Traferi is going to focus you there,
03:54that is the house, and the minister is going to tell you
03:56exactly how it was.
03:58Sure, those are some of the houses,
04:00here there are approximately six houses,
04:02two are abandoned,
04:04in the other four live
04:06people who work in this place,
04:08I insist, of Bolivian nationality,
04:10many minors in the area,
04:12this family has six children,
04:14Lian is one of them,
04:16but this is the zero point where
04:18Lian would have disappeared on Saturday
04:20at nap time,
04:22so that's why the tracking
04:24is being done from this point
04:26for the perimeters.
04:28I mean, usually the kids go out to the street
04:30to play there?
04:32There is no street, it is a field,
04:34this is a field, there is only
04:36an entrance way and there is no street.
04:38Usually Lian
04:40played on a tractor
04:42that was next to the house,
04:44he played under the tractor,
04:46yesterday we were with the prosecutor
04:48touring the area, there are toys,
04:50there are many kids in the area,
04:52this family has six children
04:54between 13 and 14 years old,
04:56and two years old,
04:58Lian is three years old,
05:00he is 90 centimeters tall,
05:02so if you see the grass,
05:04when we did the tracking,
05:06many times it is difficult to find him,
05:08because if you see some images,
05:10you will see that he is taller
05:12than the adults,
05:14so he is much taller than the boy,
05:16of course, but well, during the night
05:18I also want to tell you that we were
05:20working with night drones
05:24that detect heat,
05:26in fact, at some moments
05:28we could get excited
05:30because we saw some movement,
05:32but they were wild animals from the area.
05:34We are working on the hypothesis,
05:36we are working very organized
05:38with all the strength
05:40that I just told you,
05:42we thank you, I want to tell you that
05:44yesterday, as soon as I got to this place,
05:46and from before,
05:48but yesterday when we arrived
05:50and I could already have a panorama
05:52of what we saw,
05:54I spoke with the governor of the province,
05:56Martin Llarora, to get to know him,
05:58immediately I spoke with the Minister of Security,
06:00Patricia Bullrich, who made available
06:02absolutely all the resources
06:04of the nation,
06:06the SOFIA alert was activated,
06:08we are working together
06:10with the Ministry of National Security,
06:12not discarding any hypothesis,
06:14working on absolutely everything,
06:16but the important thing is that we are
06:18working, we have been working
06:20with federal forces since we assumed,
06:22and with federal forces, in a while
06:24people from the Federal Police will also arrive,
06:26also with resources, that is,
06:28we are working very articulately
06:30with the coordination, of course,
06:32of the people of El Duarte, Cordoba,
06:34who know the sector very well,
06:36and that is the function
06:38that we are going to have today,
06:40to be working all day, on a day that is going to have
06:42a very strong climate inclemency,
06:44surely we will also have more than 40 degrees,
06:46as we had on Saturday and Sunday,
06:48but here they will have us working all day.
06:50Minister, one last question,
06:52you just said that there were no streets,
06:54how is the access?
06:56Is it easy for a person outside of those who live
06:58in those six houses to enter,
07:00or is it a place that is
07:02moderately like a factory,
07:04a courthouse?
07:06No, this can be told,
07:08in fact, we are going to walk,
07:10if you give us 10 seconds,
07:12we are going to walk so that you can see
07:14which is the only entrance street that this building has,
07:16that even your journalists,
07:18to enter this place,
07:20they have to enter
07:22about 500 meters from this place,
07:24there is a gate.
07:26This is the only entrance that this building has,
07:28this is a field,
07:30it is not a place,
07:32it is not an urbanized place,
07:34with which it is a field,
07:36in which there is this house that you see,
07:38if you look to the right
07:40of the bricks, there will also be another house,
07:42also very precarious houses,
07:44where people live,
07:46who work in this that you see,
07:48the bricks,
07:50this is a brick burner,
07:52here,
07:54people work on this,
07:56but it has this only entrance that you are seeing,
07:58in the background you will see a red gas,
08:00that is the entrance,
08:02that is the route,
08:04if you enter, it is all land to get here,
08:06that street is land,
08:08and this one you see is land,
08:10with which to enter here,
08:12if you enter exclusively to this,
08:14that's why, well,
08:16surely the prosecutor is also evaluating
08:18this hypothesis about who could have entered.
08:20How many people are now tracking the area?
08:24At this time we have
08:26more than 160 people working,
08:28there are 20 people
08:30from the gendarmerie,
08:32with whom, of course,
08:34we have been working together for a long time,
08:36in another operation,
08:38today they are working on this,
08:40you will also see up there,
08:42at the height we have the
08:44facial recognition truck,
08:46the night drones,
08:48that detect calories,
08:50that is, we have absolutely all the resources
08:52to find Liam,
08:54if Liam is somewhere
08:56among these,
08:58we must find him.
09:00And it is decided to track, for example,
09:02how many hectares you are,
09:04because you have to circumscribe
09:06the area of tracking,
09:08what surface
09:10are you looking for?
09:12What happens, well,
09:14you will see that this is absolutely
09:16broad, we are working with a
09:18logical hypothesis of how much
09:20a three-year-old boy
09:22who was barefoot,
09:24completely naked,
09:26because apparently the pants
09:28that the mother said she had on,
09:30then appeared in the house,
09:32with which apparently he left without clothes,
09:34the boys here usually
09:36usually walk barefoot,
09:38yesterday we were
09:40having a nap here and with shoes
09:42and with our shoes the earth burns
09:44and they, however,
09:46walk with an absolute
09:48on a hot earth,
09:50of course, used to that,
09:52but hey, we work on a
09:54logical hypothesis of how much a three-year-old
09:56can walk barefoot,
09:58the prosecutor tells us,
10:00we did 1,200 and we have reached
10:022,000 meters of perimeter
10:04around point zero.
10:06It is impossible
10:08not,
10:10sorry for the questions, but it is impossible
10:12not to compare this with the Oloan case,
10:14because even in the area,
10:16because in that stream he had bathed,
10:18it seems to me that here not,
10:20but even in the area it is similar,
10:22all barefoot.
10:24Yes, let's see,
10:26what I do want to highlight
10:28and differentiate,
10:30that we have a three-year-old
10:32missing creature,
10:34but from the very moment
10:36we learned,
10:38our police put
10:40everything at the disposal of the Belville
10:42Prosecutor's Office and we are
10:44together, the Public Prosecutor's Office,
10:46now in a few minutes
10:48the Provincial Prosecutor General will be arriving,
10:50here he is working
10:52very seriously, very professional,
10:54you will see, with a lot of organization
10:56and also the
10:58Prosecutor's Office is doing its job in the investigation.
11:00Minister, thank you very much for your time,
11:02very attentive.
11:04No, please, thank you.
11:06Thank you very much, Minister.
11:08Ale, we'll be back in a little while with you,
11:10then if we can,
11:12we'll finish the area a little bit,
11:14what you see, of course,
11:16is completely barren.
11:18It is impossible not to compare this with what we see.
11:20Yes, I'll show you, Antonio, look.
11:22I'll show you this,
11:24what the Minister was just telling you.
11:26The height, the height of the partitions.
11:28Look, yes, yes,
11:30and it is a field,
11:32and it is a plantation, and it is a farm,
11:34it is a critical situation,
11:36and yes, compared to Logan,
11:38obviously, the little one
11:40went naked, okay?
11:42They think he could have gone walking and so on,
11:44but the reality, Antonio,
11:46is that he left between
11:4815 and 17, or they took him
11:50without clothes, from a place
11:52where he could not go out
11:54when his parents were sleeping.
11:56Well, the situation is worrying for that,
11:58that's why the Prosecutor's Office is also working, and look at the operation.
12:00We're going to get a little bit of an exclusive.
12:02What Diego Trafferi is going to show you,
12:04the first house, is Liam's house.
12:06Well, excuse me,
12:08you leave the house and you go out to the field,
12:10it's not that you have
12:12an area inside or in the perimeter
12:14of your house. You go out to the field,
12:16and anyone who has entered
12:18has access to that.
12:20There is no perimeter.
12:22Of course, there is no perimeter.
12:24There is no perimeter fence, there is nothing.
12:26And there are practically no fences.
12:28Of course, look, what it does
12:30as a fence is
12:32the fence, let's say, the same weeds,
12:34but then there is no fabric
12:36separating the fields.
12:38Simply what the Minister just explained,
12:40is this entrance
12:42that we made at night,
12:44which is very difficult to enter.
12:46You can do it on foot, but you have
12:48an hour on foot from the town
12:50to the city
12:52to this place.
12:54That's why the situation is complex,
12:56and to think that someone took him.
12:58Now, yesterday,
13:00Antonio, 35 degrees,
13:02before yesterday, 46,
13:04a naked child in the field,
13:06but what is striking
13:08is that the radio that was reviewed
13:10since the police
13:12began to work,
13:14until now, it is more or less what is calculated
13:16that a child of that age could have traveled.
13:18Yes, let's remember, 90 centimeters
13:20measures the day,
13:22so in some areas of the field, the grass
13:24or the crop covers it
13:26directly.
13:28Yes, yes, here we have a meter, look, more than a meter here,
13:30look how
13:32you are practically covered.
13:34That's why in minutes
13:36the dogs are going to start working.
13:38Canoe dogs have already arrived,
13:40Canoe dogs have already arrived
13:42to get to the area.
13:44The drone has also just arrived,
13:46which Diego Traffelli recently showed you,
13:48which is going to work all day,
13:50which is a thermal drone
13:52that helps
13:54to know behind the floor if they detect
13:56temperature and there to be able to check if it is
13:58a wild animal or it can be a creature.
14:00No, but apart from these temperatures,
14:02you have a dehydration issue,
14:04unfortunately, because they are
14:06very high temperatures.
14:08Yes, yes, Antonio,
14:10and it already feels at this time.
14:12We are talking about
14:14the first hours of the morning,
14:16the sun is already hitting hard.
14:18This at 13, 14 hours
14:20is an uncontrollable situation.
14:22Although I just told the minister
14:24that the child was used to walking
14:26here among the bricks with high temperatures,
14:28look, if you go further, here is one of Liam's toys,
14:30which is a broken skateboard
14:32that is lying in this place.
14:34Here are other toys, look,
14:36look that the boys
14:38constantly played here.
14:40They came to have fun in this place,
14:42to play among the bricks,
14:44and barefoot, most of the time
14:46barefoot, with little clothes.
14:48Well, at the time of the nap,
14:50they generally did not go out because of the temperature.
14:52So they decided to sleep,
14:54look, here is another toy,
14:56they decided at that time to sleep
14:58because of the high temperatures.
15:00And usually the young people did not go out either,
15:02they stayed inside the houses.
15:04That's why the parents
15:06went to bed thinking
15:08that he was ... the house is very small,
15:10look, let's see again,
15:12and the pieces are almost stuck,
15:14almost a whole environment, okay?
15:16Liam was in his bed,
15:18but in the same environment as the parents.
15:20Now, when they get up,
15:22they do not find Liam.
15:24They go to his house,
15:26they look for him, they find him.
15:28That's why they think he left the house
15:30or they took him out
15:32or whatever, without clothes.
15:34Ale, in a little while we come
15:36with you again, thank you.
