In the Córdoba town of Ballesteros Sud, with nearly 650 inhabitants spread over an area of 1.3 square kilometers, the community is in suspense over the disappearance of Lian Gael Flores. The boy was last seen on Saturday, February 22, when his family, according to his father's account, went to take a nap and did not find him upon waking.
Despite nearly 48 hours having passed since his disappearance, there is no certainty about Lian's whereabouts. The lack of news about what happened has sowed uncertainty in this small town, where everyone knows almost every resident. In response to this situation, the Sofía Alert was activated to aid in the search for the little boy.
The 2022 Census reveals that Ballesteros Sud has 649 inhabitants distributed across 225 homes in a territory of 1.3 square kilometers. These figures have heightened concern in the community as there have been no updates about Lian, whose whereabouts remain a mystery.
This locality is located 6 km south of National Route No. 9, 182 km from the city of Córdoba, and 5 km from Ballesteros. Its economy is based on agriculture and livestock, with soybeans being the main crop in the area. The disappearance of Lian Gael Flores has shocked Ballesteros Sud, where it is hoped that his whereabouts will soon be clarified.
