🔻The woman who for decades was believed to be one of the victims of forced disappearances during the dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet in Chile is alive and lives in Argentina. Bernarda Rosalba Vera Cuentardó, a Chilean woman, was in fact not among the detained people who had been disappeared.

She had disappeared in October 1973, shortly after the military coup, and later remarried, had children, obtained Swedish citizenship, and lived for years in the province of Buenos Aires.

A group of journalists from the Chilean TV network Chilevisión found her, in the mid-part of last year, in the resort town of Miramar in Argentina, where she lived.

Now the judicial authorities have confirmed that she is the same person who for years was believed to be dead. The expert report of DNA testing—ordered by Álvaro Mesa Latorre, the special judge for human rights cases—confirmed the woman’s real fate, who is now 80 years old.
