The police operation to find the suspect on the Camino de los Alisos included helicopters, rakes with search dogs and a sweep was made in the timeline of all the cameras that are in the area and on the perimeter. Samples were also taken in the bush area where investigators presume the sexual abuse was consummated.
There are still no traces of the suspect, but one of the hypotheses that investigators handle is the possibility that the attacker has escaped along an internal path to the Rodrigo Bueno neighborhood. Given the sensitivity of the case, this Wednesday, the Justice ordered secrecy of summary to continue with the investigation.
The Ecological Reserve
In a 911 call, a man reported that on a trail along the Ecological Reserve promenade he found a woman who claimed to have been raped. The witness also provided a description of the suspect with the data that the woman, in the midst of a nervous breakdown, was able to transmit to him.
The Ecological Reserve of the Costanera Sur has 350 hectares and two accesses. The one at the height of Viamonte is the closest to the Camino de Los Alisos, where the aggression took place. The other is about Brazil.
The property was evicted by the City Police who raked the area to find the attacker, if he is hiding inside the reserve. And they analyze exits from the surroundings such as an area that is bordering the Rodrigo Bueno neighborhood. One of the speculations is that he could know the terrain and have escaped by swimming into the neighborhood.
Sources of the City Police indicated that "it is being raked with search dogs" with the traces collected at the scene with teams "specialists in inaccessible areas." For that they fenced the place of the aggression and closed the perimeter to collect samples.
"A sweep is being done on the timeline of all the cameras we have in the area and on the perimeter. In addition, controls are being made in the Rodrigo Bueno neighborhood, which is the potential escape route," they added to Clarín.
The investigation for "sexual abuse with carnal access" was left in the hands of Prosecutor's Office No. 17, in charge of Federico Iuspa. The neighborhood police station 1E of the City Police also intervenes.
How is the security inside the premises
The reserve is visited by dozens of people every day. From neighbors who choose it to go for a walk, people who come to practice some sport and even foreign tourists.
The place has private security personnel and surveillance cameras that are located at the entrances. In addition, there are park rangers of the Reserve who constantly travel the internal roads of the property.
"The General Directorate of Conservation Areas has a security protocol for this type of situation in the ecological reserves of the City of Buenos Aires. In the event of a complaint, the property is closed. In addition, the City Police and the SAME are immediately notified," they told Clarín from the City Security area.
On the other hand, the perimeter of the Reserve is within the territorial deployment of the City Police in Puerto Madero, which travels the area with patrol cars, motorcycles and bicycle personnel. In case of any emergency to 911 the personnel goes inside the Reserve.
In the area adjacent to the Rodrigo Bueno neighborhood is the police deployment of the Neighborhood Protection Unit, which has a detachment and travels the streets in trinomials and quadricycles.
Likewise, the environment of the Reserve is monitored with security cameras that are monitored by the Urban Monitoring Center.
Within the property there is also a fire station that specifically monitors the area and is the first intervener in a fire.
