Córdoba authorities investigate murder of Daniela Villalba

Authorities in Córdoba, Argentina, are investigating the murder of 29-year-old Daniela Villalba, who was found dead in her apartment in the Cofico neighborhood. The case is being treated as a potential femicide by prosecutor Pablo Camacho of the Gender Violence Crimes Prosecution Office.

Investigators are analyzing security footage that shows a tall man with long hair and a cap entering and exiting the building. While the image quality is insufficient for a definitive identification, the footage has allowed police to rule out the father of the victim's child as a suspect. One lead suggests the man may have left the building carrying a suitcase and a rug.

Digital evidence is also central to the probe. Investigators are searching for Villalba's missing cellphone to review her final communications. Recent messages sent to a friend indicate that Villalba was expecting a visitor on the night of Monday, October 19. The timeline suggests the attack may have occurred shortly after 11:00 PM, as the victim's last received messages were sent around that time.
