Argentina: 15‑year‑old daughter of retired army captain found safe after Belgrano disappearance
A 15‑year‑old adolescent, identified as Josefina Flores, the daughter of a retired Argentine Army captain, vanished on the evening of 3 July while walking home from a friend's house in the Belgrano neighbourhood of Buenos Aires. She was last seen on security cameras at the intersection of Cuba and Sucre streets around 19:00 and her final WhatsApp exchange with family occurred at about 20:00. The Buenos Aires City Police’s Division of Child and Adolescent Crimes opened a missing‑person investigation, reviewing camera footage, tracing a ride‑hailing app, and deploying units from multiple precincts.
The search culminated on Saturday when police located the teenager alive in a supermarket on the Godoy Cruz‑Escalada corridor in Villa Lugano, accompanied by her boyfriend. Authorities confirmed she was unharmed and not a victim of any crime. She was taken to a police station for a formal statement and to be reunited with her parents. The case remains classified as a "paradero" inquiry, with the investigation closed pending further procedural steps.
