Twist in Guadalupe Lucero Search: Grandfather Indicted for Child Sexual Abuse

A significant development has emerged in the ongoing search for Guadalupe Lucero, the young girl who disappeared in San Luis in June 2021. La Nación (AR) reports that Roque Lucero, Guadalupe's paternal grandfather, has been indicted in a separate case involving sexual abuse of a minor. This revelation has prompted Guadalupe's maternal family, through their lawyer Soledad Poma de Otaegui, to demand a thorough investigation into the grandfather's potential connection to the child's disappearance. The lawyer highlighted that Roque Lucero himself admitted to having a prior abuse case against him when he testified shortly after Guadalupe went missing. The maternal family is deeply distressed by the perceived omission of this crucial information by Guadalupe's father and is now pushing for formal investigation, emphasizing the gravity of the situation and the uncertainty it casts over the nearly five-year-old case. The legal team is concerned about potential loss of evidence due to the time elapsed, making the investigation more challenging.

Es muy grave que no se haya investigado
