Argentina: 16-Year-Old Girl Sought After Disappearance

Buenos Aires, December 23 (NA) — A 16-year-old adolescent has been intensively sought for a week in the Buenos Aires locality of La Tablada, and her family is asking for collaboration. She is Micaela Avril Bustillo Torres. According to information provided by the minor's family to the Argentine News Agency, the last time she was seen was on the morning of last Wednesday, December 17, when she “grabbed her grandmother's keys and left.” Since that day, everything has been uncertainty, and there is a shroud of secrecy over the authorities' actions. The complaint was filed a few hours later when the teenager did not return to her home, and from that moment on, family, friends, and neighbors went out to ask for help. Laura Torres, the minor's mother, stated that they do not know what Micaela's last movements were and that she does not have a boyfriend, as the Police had presumed after filing the complaint. In this sense, she also questioned the work of the officials involved in the case and stated that their work has been “very weak” for a week. “We are putting up posters with her face to find her in La Tablada, Lomas del Mirador, San Justo, everywhere.

Anyone who can provide information about Bustillo Torres's whereabouts can contact her father, Fernando, at 1124562522 or her mother, Laura, at 1171505065.
