“He had left the bread on Tuesday and on Friday he came back and said to his niece, ‘How strange that Cuadro didn’t pick up the bread,'” he said.
They began searching, breaking down the door of the house and not finding him. “I assumed they had stolen the card and ID since they were missing,” he added.
“He was the guy who didn’t talk to anyone, he was a very quiet person,” he said of his uncle.
The police officer was a neighbor of Cuadro and “gave a version of how he would have killed this person, giving signs and places where he could be,” police chief Víctor Trezza said.
“The District Attorney’s Office continues to address the missing person hypothesis, but we strongly believe there is a new homicide in the department,” Trezza added. He also said that camera surveillance corroborated the police officer’s version.
