Nine days after his disappearance, while the search continues in different areas of the city, with rakes, trained dogs and drones, an audio was known that reveals that Claudia Repetto lived in fear, alarmed by the harassment she suffered from her ex-partner, Ricardo Rodríguez , on whom all suspicions fall: nothing is known about him since dawn on Monday, March 2.
"I need this son of a bitch to not bother me anymore," he tells a friend in a message in which he speaks in a tone that denotes care. In a low voice, he tells him that he needs money to move.
Repetto and Rodríguez had a relationship that lasted about two years and ended 8 months ago, but they continued to live in border homes in a PH. "I'm going to do it, today I was thinking. I need money, I need to live in a better place, near the center and that this son of a bitch doesn't bother me anymore," says Claudia.
He then shows the harassment Rodriguez was subjected to: "I hear a noise and it seems that it is he who is going to hit my hand back . I do not even want to turn on the patio light. I will go out hidden."
Cristian González, son of Repetto, confirmed to Clarín that the voice he hears in the audio is from his mother, "but the truth is that we don't know where it came from."
The relatives and neighbors of the woman say that Rodriguez "was obsessed" with her, that since the relationship between the two had ended, he watched her.
The woman's children report that the suspect - they learned about this now - came to hide a pipe in the wall to listen to their conversations. It follows from the audio that Repetto lived in fear.
In recent days, the search area has expanded. Now the troops - more than a hundred from different forces - rake the area from where the last signal was emitted by Rodriguez's cell phone, in the Santa Celina neighborhood, on the morning of Monday, March 2, and move towards areas near the park cemetery, in the South.
At this point, the focus was already placed in different parts of the city . It was done in the wetlands of the natural reserve of the port, then in Cliffs, neighborhood where the suspect, after receiving compensation (he worked and was fired from a restaurant; in recent months he was doing gardening), he had signed a lot.
In Cliffs is where a shovel was found that Rodriguez had borrowed from a neighbor , and that same afternoon - the woman had been missing for four days - in a corner of Punta Mogotes appeared the card of the social work of Repetto .
At seven o'clock on Sunday, March 1, Repetto, 53, employed in a hotel and folklore dancer, arrived at his home in Don Orione in 1569 with a friend, Fabian, in a van. With him he had agreed to go out to dinner that same night and two hours later he was going to pick her up.
But the man received a text message from her telling him that she was tired, and that is why he did not go looking for her. The message, without a doubt, left the woman's phone, but neither her children nor the researchers believe that it was she who wrote it . "She never wrote, always sent voice messages," one of them said.
That morning, Rodriguez also disappeared. Before, he sold a motorcycle to his son for 15 thousand pesos and by message he told him that the documentation had been left under a stone in the access to a resort in Punta Mogotes.
The researchers analyze security cameras located in different parts of the city, trying to find signs that can help rebuild the route that Repetto and Rodríguez made in a cause that, for the moment, has the cover of "double whereabouts."
