Loan Danilo Peña disappearance trial resumes with expert testimony
The trial regarding the disappearance of Loan Danilo Peña, who has been missing since June 13, 2024, in Corrientes, Argentina, resumed this Wednesday. The session focused on technical evidence, featuring testimonies from eight specialists in criminalistics, forensic odorology, and legal medicine.
Marilú Vásquez, a forensic odorology expert from the Salta Police, testified that scent traces matching the child were found in a Ford Ranger and a Ford Ka belonging to defendants María Victoria Caillava and Carlos Guido Pérez. Vásquez attributed a reliability rate of over 92 percent to these findings. Tamara Muniagurria, a criminalistics specialist, also provided testimony regarding technical expertise and the handling of evidence.
Other witnesses included members of the Argentine Federal Police (PFA) and the Salta Police. To date, four of the seven primary defendants—María Victoria Caillava, Laudelina Peña, Antonio Bernardino Benítez, and Walter Maciel—have testified.
In a parallel investigation, ten individuals face charges for the alleged obstruction of the case, including accusations of unlawful deprivation of liberty and usurpation of titles.
