"They are not going to give him back to Gonzalo" is the phrase that is repeated in the surroundings of Gonzalo Calleja (29), the young accountant murdered in Paraná, while the unknowns around his death multiply.
Now, investigators point to the analysis of the hours before the crime to find their murderers.
The key -for these hours- will be the witnesses, the communications of the day of the event and the images of more than 70 security cameras -public and private- to establish its route.
The young accountant was fired this Saturday around noon in Paraná.
In a wake that lasted just two hours, friends and family said their last goodbye and accompanied him to the Paraná cemetery, a few blocks away from where his body had been found on Thursday afternoon.
Hours later, a group of neighbors had called a demonstration to ask for more security in Paraná but they did not have the participation of the Callejas, still shocked by the crime.
"It is one thing for us to tell you what Gonza was and what his family is, and another is to meet him," one of his cousins tried to describe in dialogue with
Clarín
.
Gonzalo Calleja was 29 years old and had been missing in Paraná since July 14.
They found his body in an open field in the western part of the city.

The family of the murdered accountant does not leave their astonishment after knowing the result of the autopsy in which the crime was confirmed.
"Within all the horror, it was good to know that Gonzi did not suffer, that is a kind of palliative," they rehearsed as a consolation in their environment.
In parallel, the investigation by prosecutor Santiago Alfieri and Mariano Budasoff continues to await the results of expert opinions and testimonies that allow the investigation to advance and determine what happened to Gonzalo Calleja and, above all, who was responsible for the crime.
First, it emerged that they found no "signs of violence" on the body, although they finally found that he
died of "asphyxia
.
"
"It was possible to establish the absence of traumatic injuries in the victim's body, determining asphyxia as a means of death. The mechanism by which it occurred remains to be established, for which the conclusions of laboratory studies and forensic chemistry will be essential. as well as the histopathological ones ", the investigators detailed.
The deputy director of Investigations of the Police of Entre Ríos, Ángel Ricle, confirmed to
Clarín
that the DDI detectives are analyzing "more than 70 public and private devices" to determine what happened between Gonzalo Calleja stopping his car and the route that they were able to make their assassins until they discarded the body.
Gonzalo Calleja.
Although they have not yet been able to rule out any hypothesis,
the strongest continues to be that of a theft
, linked to an informal transaction for the sale of foreign currency. Is that, according to the police investigation, Calleja had approximately 15 thousand dollars and the transaction for which he would have gone to the neighborhood 1 ° de Julio (where they found his vehicle) was for 6,000. The rest (another 9,000) were found inside the car, stored in the glove compartment.
Therefore, they suspect that the place where his body was found is not where the crime was committed, but rather
a secondary scene
.
To confirm this, the results of soil and body tests will be decisive, in addition to the results of the surveillance cameras that may have taken the route of those who discarded his body.
Among the missing belongings are a backpack, a watch and Calleja's cell phone, which will be another key point for the investigators.
These days, they await the result of the report from the cell phone company to establish the tracking of communications and antennas that may have captured their location during the last hours.
"We continue to take statements, both at the place where the body was found and in the neighborhood where the body was found. These days we hope to have news," Ricle confided.
The case
Gonzalo Calleja had disappeared on Wednesday, July 14, after leaving his job in a company to carry out a transaction for 6 thousand dollars in one of the most "conflictive" neighborhoods of the city of Paraná, where the news of adjustments of accounts, raids in the context of drug causes and injuries in the middle of fights between gangs.
His friends noticed his absence after he did not show up to a match to watch the game that River played for the Copa Libertadores, against Argentinos Juniors.
He also did not go to the meeting with another friend, with whom he had arranged to go to the gym around 18.
A few minutes before missing that appointment, he had communicated with his partner by phone, but investigators suspect that he was already in the 1 ° de Julio neighborhood a little before that communication.
What happened between that time on Wednesday and Thursday afternoon, when his body was found on the other side of the city, is the unknown that they will try to reveal to find their murderers.
During the first hours of the investigation, the name of Brandon Comas, a 20-year-old man with a history of gender violence and injuries, had emerged.
However, this Saturday he presented himself spontaneously to the prosecution with evidence about his alibi: he
was in Concepción del Uruguay in those days
.
Although they will continue investigating him, he was not charged or detained, but after declaring he returned home.
Calleja was an accountant, played basketball at Club Echagüe, and was part of a highly respected family in the city.
