Prosecutor found alive after seven days lost in the mountains following plane crash

Raquel Poiquí's unwavering hope sustained her through seven agonizing days as she searched for her husband, prosecutor Juan Benjo Huchani Alpire, who went missing after a plane crash. Despite the grim circumstances, Poiquí refused to give up, driven by a deep commitment to her promise to always care for him.

“

I always said, he is alive, let's keep looking for him.

The accident occurred when the small aircraft carrying Huchani and two colleagues crashed shortly after takeoff. While the pilot perished and the other occupants were injured, Huchani survived and set out to find help. However, he became lost in the wilderness for seven days, adding to his wife's immense distress.

“

I promised that I would always take care of him and he would also take care of me.

Poiquí recounted her harrowing search, venturing into unfamiliar and difficult terrain, including crossing rivers and continuing the search at night. Her determination was fueled by the belief that her husband was alive and by the promise they had made to each other to always protect one another. Her resolve was finally rewarded when Huchani was found alive.

“

I want to thank God first, for giving me the strength in this time of anguish we lived through. I also want to thank Dr. (prosecutor) Alexander Mendoza, for the help, for the support given from the first moment I received his call, saying that my husband had had an accident.

Visibly emotional, Poiquí expressed profound gratitude to God for providing her with the strength to endure the ordeal. She also thanked prosecutor Alexander Mendoza for his immediate support and the workers of the Curitiva hacienda, who ultimately found and assisted her husband. The prosecutor has since been hospitalized for examinations, but his condition is reportedly not severe, bringing a sense of relief after a week of intense anxiety.

“

I was very scared because I went to places where I had never imagined being in my life, I crossed rivers, it rained on us, at night we also went to look for him because I said: maybe he is injured, without food. It has been many days of anguish... I always say that God is good, He is faithful, I thank Him.
