The anthropologist Alicia Lusiardo confirmed that it was a woman and that there was “violence. There are two victims whose profile was discarded.
The skeletal remains found in the Parachute Infantry Battalion No. 14 In the town of Toledo (Cannelloni) remain unidentified, although the anthropologist Alicia Lusiardo confirmed that it is a woman and that it was “a violent death”.
After the remains were sent to Argentina and the subsequent analysis of the Forensic Genetics Laboratory, the identity could not be confirmed, as reported by Lusiardo during a press conference, where he insisted that “this person is a detained disappeared by the context of discovery and injuries found”, referring to the Uruguay’s last military dictatorship. In this context, he clarified that “It would not be about María Claudia García or Elena Quinteros.”
“According to the genetic report, a suitable profile was obtained for comparison with profiles contained in the genetic bank. The remains are female.” explained the anthropologist at a press conference and added that “comparisons have not yielded no statistically significant or conclusive match in terms of identification.
“There are several cases of disappeared women for whom there are few reference samples, resulting in poorly represented identification or exclusion,” said Lusiardio and called “continue working and achieve the necessary steps for the identification of these remains.
The discovery was made during routine work.
The skeletal remains had been found on Tuesday June 6th from routine work National Institution of Human Rights (Inddhh). There, a team of anthropologists led by lusiardo reported the finding. Days later, Lusiardo confirmed that they belonged to a woman.
At that time he clarified that it should be expected a few weeks for the results on identity to arrive, which were sent to Argentina for analysis by the Forensic Genetics Laboratory belonging to the Argentine Forensic Anthropology Team (EAAF).
Among the details provided at that time, the anthropologist specified that it was about “a primary burial” and that he recovered 70% of the skeleton of an adult, anticipating that she was very possibly a disappeared person from the last military dictatorship in Uruguay.
