The Forensic Team could not determine if the skeletal remains found in the river belong to Cecilia

This morning, the Argentine Forensic Anthropology Team (EAAF) of Córdoba, in charge of analyzing the skeletal and dental remains found in the investigation for the case of Cecilia Strzyzowski, reported the impossibility of extracting DNA from the remains to confirm if it belonged to the victim. The experts determined that the remains “were in a state of charring to calcined,” so the origin cannot be determined, since being in that condition “severely affects the conservation of the pieces and limits the possibility of extracting quality DNA,” prosecutor Nelia Velázquez said in a statement. The remains had been found burned in the Tragadero River, on the outskirts of the Chaco capital, where it is presumed that Cecilia’s ashes were thrown there. Similarly, from the prosecution they maintain that this does not harm the cause and continue to investigate the accused of the crime who are César Sena, Emerenciano and Marcela Acuña and four collaborators, having more than 200 evidence. In turn, last week official sources confirmed that the 22 traces of blood found in the box of the Toyota Hilux truck of César – Cecilia Strzyzowski’s partner – is human blood, so now it remains to be determined if it matches the DNA of the victim. Investigators presume that this was the vehicle where Cecilia’s body was moved to the field where it was cremated.
