17-Year-Old Girl Missing for Three Months Found in Argentina

Buenos Aires, December 16 (NA) -- Abril Romero Miranda, a 17-year-old girl from the town of General Rodríguez in Buenos Aires province, was found 'yesterday, on the street, in San Salvador de Jujuy,' according to her mother, Jorgelina Miranda. The official communication also stated that she is in 'good health.' As Miranda informed the Noticias Argentinas news agency, her daughter 'was on the street,' and the same account emphasized that Cristian Velazco (32), the man who is said to have left with the minor, 'left her alone, near a beach.' Meanwhile, Jorgelina recounted that 'a lifeguard approached her, and Abril told her that she was lost, and that we were looking for her in Buenos Aires.' There, officers reportedly learned of the young woman's whereabouts. The young woman's mother stated that they have not yet spoken, and Commissioner Carlos Silva, who has been part of the investigation since the complaint was filed, traveled to meet with the teenager so that she can return to her hometown tomorrow. The official prosecutor's statement affirmed that her whereabouts were resolved 'after three months of investigation and as a result of the joint work carried out by the Departmental Delegation of Investigations, the Court of Guarantees No. 3, the Functional Instruction Unit No. 9 of the Moreno - General Rodríguez Judicial Department, and the local Municipality, as well as the judicial and police bodies of the provinces of Salta and Jujuy.' 'On December 15, 2025, the whereabouts of the young Abril Nilda Romero Miranda were found, who was found in good health,' the official document concluded. Previously, the prosecutor's office had considered the gender violence complaints filed against Velazco, the 35-year-old man mentioned in Abril's farewell letter, with whom she lived for a short period during which she was abused by the accused.
