I'm in the park where so many times I brought you to play and there are so many memories, so many words that I hoped to tell you, so many I love you that they remained in the air. Today I feel that I already have you inside me, that I found you, that you are no longer here. waiting, that we are one, because love is unconditional and no one resists love
", published Javier Cancinos (55) this weekend, after confirming that his son's body had been found.
Now it remains to know
the result of the autopsy
to determine what happened to Santiago, the 14-year-old adolescent who disappeared in Salta for more than four years.
She was born a woman and was baptized as Constanza Gala, but she perceived herself as a male.
This Monday, as confirmed by sources of the investigation, they will carry out
a reconstruction at the place of the discovery

Among the remains found they would have found seven fragments and the identification could be made only by the teeth of the skull, so establishing the cause of death will be a challenge for the researchers.
The boy was wanted with his DNI name, Gala Cancinos.
"
Yes, I feel torn inside but I already found you, my soul mate, all my life. And to close this story that so many but so many people that I do not know even helped them to love you and wait as long as I have news, I thank you with my heart in my hand. Thank you for sharing, thank you for spreading, thank you for being part. To each and every one of the organizations, to journalism, to the people who accompanied, to all of you, thank you very much, A huge and warm hug
", thanked the dad.
It was on May 16, 2017, when he was 14 years old and was going from his home in the capital city of Salta to a physical education class six blocks away, that the teenager had been seen for the last time.
At that time, he was going through a transition process and perceived himself as Santiago or Nicolás, as indicated by his surroundings.
His family's reaction to that decision was part of an investigation that went through different instances and that was paralyzed for several months.
This search focused on the legal name of the adolescent, because he had not formalized his change of identity in the National Registry of Persons.

The decision was questioned by organizations that defend the rights of trans people, which linked the cause to the search for Tehuel De la Torre, another boy who disappeared in Alejandro Korn on March 11.
Santiago Cancinos.
Causes of death
So far it is not clear if Santiago's death was due to suicide, something the investigators speculated during the first part of the investigation, if it was a hate crime or how his body got to the river area. Wierna.
"
With my deepest regret I confirm that they found my sweet and beloved son and I thank all the people who accompanied these hard 4 years. And it seems fair to me that the person who found me receives the reward, since the whole search did not turn out. or dogs that were brought and found a few meters from the place. Today my heartbroken soul only manages to give thanks to that father and his son, whom he would like to know personally,
"Javier was outraged when referring to the discovery of his son's body.
It is that the police did not find it, nor in the repeated rakes that were carried out near the area, but rather that a truck driver and his son were the ones who identified human remains in the Vaqueros area, on a staircase that connects to a viewpoint.
Last Thursday, these two people went to the place to fulfill a promise.
The man, Eduardo Gallo, had asked the Difunta Correa for the health of his wife, who had suffered an accident that left her immobile, according to the website

In return, he offered to weed the area located in the town of Vaqueros, on the side of Route 9, at kilometer 12.5, passing the Wierna river bridge.
