Guada has a mole on his left cheek and a broken upper front tooth.
The 5-year-old girl who disappeared on Monday, June 14, is searched house by house in the 544 neighborhood, south of the city of San Luis.
His father, Eric Lucero, expanded his statement in court and now the suspicions are refocusing on
the closest environment, family and neighbors
.
This Monday marks a week since his disappearance.
The girl was playing with her cousins and brothers on the sidewalk, in front of her aunt's house, in the south of the city of San Luis.
It was 7:30 p.m.
They never heard from her again.
The hypotheses mentioned are a kidnapping or that he may have been the victim of a sexual assault.
Judge Ariel Parrillis and the Minister of Security of San Luis, Luciano Anastasi, have declared that, due to the age of the girl, she cannot be lost and "
someone took her
".
His father asked the Justice to expand the statement to provide new information.
According to her lawyer, Héctor Zavala, the girl's father added information related to "
a close relationship with other members of the family
."
Missing Children is looking for Guadalupe, the 5-year-old girl who disappeared in San Luis.
The father's statement before a police officer ended at 20 on Saturday.
Investigators follow a clue linked to
the relationship of the girl's two maternal aunts and the partner of one of them
, who visit prisoners linked to drug trafficking cases, in the San Luis prison.
"There are records in the Penitentiary Service of the periodic visits of these people linked to the girl who went to jail,"
one of the investigators
told
Clarín
.
But
both sides of the family accuse each other
.
Regarding the version that the paternal family was the one who was linked to drug dealing and that it could be a revenge, Lucero affirmed that "he has no antecedents" and that "he never" sold drugs or accompanied "anyone anywhere carrying drugs."
Guadalupe's father works at the South San Luis hospital, where he performs cleaning tasks.
The other hypothesis, which the investigation also supports, is that Guada may have been the victim of a sexual assault.
For this reason, the criminal records of the neighbors are evaluated and it has been decided
to search
all the houses on the block
to look for some evidence of their disappearance.
About 400 police officers participate in the operation.
No traces
“They had finished taking the chocolate.
She went out for 10 minutes to play hide and seek on the sidewalk and
the earth swallowed her up
, ”said her maternal grandmother Silvia, who also participated in the birthday celebration of Georgina, the girl's godmother.
Guadalupe Belén Lucero is 1.10 meters tall, has shoulder-length straight black hair and dark brown eyes.
When he disappeared, he was wearing a black parka jacket with a hood, a pink jumpsuit and wearing black boots.
"
Lupe left with a big girl
," said her cousin Ema, just 3 years old, the only one who for now says she has seen the girl move away from the 544 neighborhood.
About 400 policemen participate in the search.

The relatives and neighbors of the family went out to look for her house to house and the police joined in a few minutes for a 911 call that the grandmother made.
Guadalupe's parents are separated and, before the disappearance of the girl, the mother ran to the house of her daughter's father, just three blocks from the house where they were celebrating her birthday.
"
He was not with me,
" said Ariel, who on Saturday expanded his testimonial statement to provide new information.
The San Luis Police, with the collaboration of personnel and equipment from Mendoza, Córdoba and La Pampa, has carried out rakes with drones, on horseback, on motorcycles, with trained dogs and divers;
A dam was even emptied
five kilometers from the house of the girl's aunt, but Guada does not appear.
The national government issued the “
Sofia Alert
” and a reward of two million pesos was allocated for those who provide information that will allow them to reach the little girl.
The spokesman for the San Luis Police, Lucas Chacón, told
Clarín
: “We do not rule out any hypotheses and we are raking in every place where information reaches us, although sometimes there are malicious people who try to divert or distract the investigation with
false data.
”.
The search for Guadalupe Lucero in San Luis continues.

There was a march and a roadblock on Route 7 to ask for his appearance.
"I want my daughter back with us and
I want her alive
. I would like to know that my daughter is well," asked the father.
And he prayed that if someone has it, "they don't hurt them" and that "if they feel cornered, they hand it over or leave it somewhere."
The girl lives in the 208 Homes neighborhood, but she had gone on Monday with her mother Yamila to the house of her aunt and godmother Georgina.
There are strict controls on the provincial boundaries.
To each vehicle that leaves San Luis, the Police check the trunk and the interior in search of the minor.
"The neighborhood where he disappeared is attached to National Route 7. In just 35 minutes you are in Desaguadero, the border with Mendoza," says one of the investigators.
The girl was also looked for in Mendoza, but it was a red herring.
