The mystery of the disappearance of

Mariela Bessonart

in Villa María, Córdoba, has remained unsolved since 2005.

But in the last hours, the case took new momentum, because the Justice found documents of the woman in a field of her ex-husband, Rodolfo Delpino.

Nearly 16 years since Mariela Bessonart "was swallowed by the earth", from the Second Shift Prosecutor's Office of the Villa María Courts, in charge of Juliana Companys,

excavations and operations

related to the case under investigation

were ordered

what became of her.

In one of those rakes, carried out in a field of her ex-partner, the Justice found documentation that belonged to the woman.

Although the freedom, his ex is imputed and

n the cause.

The material

was buried

, and no skeletal remains were found, judicial sources reported.

The new finding rekindled the expectations of the investigation into the woman's whereabouts.

Rodolfo Delpino, Mariela Bessonart's ex-husband, charged in the case for her disappearance.

The documentation was found

buried one meter deep

.

Now it remains to analyze those papers to see whether or not they are linked to the cause.

The investigations began in

the first days of August

with the participation of the Federal Police, the Judicial Police, the National Gendarmerie, personnel from the Ministry of National Security, volunteer firefighters and personnel from the Second Shift Prosecutor's Office of Villa María.

The activity intensified as of Wednesday 18 with a meticulous raking in fields belonging to Rodolfo Delpino, Mariela Bessonart's ex-husband and the

only defendant in the case for his disappearance

.

As part of the search, traces were made with the use of georadars and specialized dogs, until

the floor of a shed

located next to the country house was lifted.

Old taperas

were also raked and excavated

, places where allegedly, according to the investigation, the ex-husband would have been seen at some point.

In 2006. An expert report on the case for the disappearance of Mariela Bessonart.

Clarín Archive.

The current prosecutor, who 

keeps in reserve what her next steps will be

, "inherited" the case from the previous head of this prosecution, Gustavo Atienza, who brought to trial the part of the file that has Rodolfo Delpino, Bessonart's ex-husband, as accused.

However, the part of the investigation focused on the search, alive or not, for Mariela Bessonart was left open.

The case

Mariela Bessonart was 37 years old when she disappeared in Villa María on September 28, 2005. At that time, intense rakings and search operations were carried out in different parts of the province of Córdoba, always with negative results.

Only a few

items that would have belonged to the woman were found

on the side of a road in an area near Alta Gracia.

The mystery of his disappearance has grown over the years, and

even today, in 2021, there are no certainties

or answers regarding his whereabouts.

The only defendant is Delpino, who was

detained for about a year in the

Villa María

jail

, until he regained his freedom.

His trial is still pending, although he was required by the previous prosecutor in the case, Gustavo Atienza, now retired.

The initial accusation against him was for “

abduction and concealment of a person for coercive purposes

”, but later it changed to “illegitimate deprivation of liberty”, a less serious qualification.

The story of Mariela and Rodolfo began in a village dance and it was with a

crush

.

She was 16 and he was 21. But "they did not even reach the year of their courtship": she got pregnant and their families thought it best for them to get married, even though he was so young and she was a girl who

had to drop out of high school

.

After the marriage, they went to live in what would be

their usual home

, in the Los Zorros field, near Villa María.

There they had their other children.

In order to reconstruct the last hours of Mariela, both the Police and her brothers gave a version that coincided in 2005.

The ex-husband, with whom she continued to have a bond even after an

infidelity and subsequent separation

, visited her at night.

She didn't want to sleep with him.

The next morning he picked her up.

It was eight thirty.

A mechanic saw them together for the last time.

A friend called her uselessly on her cell phone that she never answered.

The rest is

absence and mystery

.

Now, the

discovery of documents

in the field of Mariela's ex could shed some light on the darkness with which Justice has been colliding.
