Overview

• Authorities discovered biological remains during a coastal search near the Puerto Belgrano Naval Base, approximately 17 kilometers from where Pilar Hecker's body was found.
• The remains are undergoing urgent DNA testing to determine if they belong to Delfina Hecker, the one-year-old missing since the March 7 flood in Bahía Blanca.
• Pilar Hecker, Delfina's five-year-old sister, was confirmed to have died by drowning after her body was found on April 6, weeks after the catastrophic flooding.
• The March 7 flood displaced over 70% of Bahía Blanca's population, caused significant infrastructure damage, and resulted in 17 confirmed fatalities, with a potential 18th pending identification of the remains.
• Search operations continue with intensified efforts along the Coronel Rosales coast, supported by advanced technologies and multiple agencies.
