The disappeared

24th of November 1976 the military attacked the Mariani-Teruggi home, killed Diana Teruggi de Mariani and kidnapped her 3 month old daughter Clara Anahi Mariani.

Her husband was killed the following year, 1st of August 1977.
The family is still looking for Clara, now 30 years old. With whom did she grow up..?
The newspaper Pagina 12 prints these ads on the anniversaries of the dissappearances.
Héctor Febres, accused torturist from the early 80s, died strangely from Xyclon b, the Nazis´preferred assassination agent, in his cell 10th december. Sadly, along with his departure he brought with him his knowledge of the kidnapped and adopted children.
18th of desember Cristino Nicolaides, the last head of army during the dictatorship, former coronels and torturists Roldan Guerrieri and Arias Duval, in addition to ex policemen Julio "Turco Julián" Simón and Miguel Echegolatz were sentenced to 21-25 years in jail for their crimes during the dark years. El "Turco Julián" is said to know a lot about the missing and adopted children form those days. A couple a months ago, the police priest Cristian von Wernich, was similarly sentenced for giving away intimate information from the prisoners.
I wish the were all younger, so that they would spend more of their lives behind bars.
