Reports have emerged regarding several separate cases of missing Argentine citizens across different regions.

In late September, attention focused on two distinct incidents. In Italy, 42-year-old Nicolás Merlano had been missing since late June after reporting a robbery; Interpol issued a yellow alert to assist in his location. Concurrently, in Buenos Aires, 18-year-old Román Coronel was reported missing after $10,000 USD was taken from a family safe, though he was later located in good health at a hotel.

By early October, new investigations were launched within Argentina. In Salta, authorities deployed rural and aquatic police units to search the San Francisco and Colorado rivers for 33-year-old Franco Darío Solano. Additionally, in Mar del Plata, a search was initiated for 48-year-old psychologist Gonzalo García Saccone, who had stopped attending work prior to his disappearance.
