In a surprising twist in the case that has shaken the community, the missing teenager was located alive in the basement of an abandoned structure in the same neighborhood where the assault occurred. The discovery was made possible by the observation of security camera footage that showed the suspects roaming the area, according to a neighbor who participated in the search.
The Assault and Disappearance
Around 11:00 pm, two men approached the teenager’s residence, entering through the back and climbing up to the roof. The teenager’s uncle, brother of her grandmother, reports that the individuals removed the window protectors to enter the room, where they took clothing and valuable items. The teenager’s mother, who works the night shift at a casino, left her daughter at home, while the relatives lived in nearby homes.
The incident occurred in the early hours of the morning, around 1:00 am. The suspects, from the same neighborhood, knew the mother’s work schedule and, according to testimonies, planned the attack in advance.
The Search and Discovery
After the publication of videos from the area, the neighbor who detected the presence of the men went with an accomplice to an abandoned basement in the back of a nearby property. There, they found the teenager, visibly scared and trembling, but without restraints. Next to her was one of the men identified, who, according to the witness, showed signs of intoxication.
The teenager’s uncle assured that the teenager would have communicated that she was touched by the attackers, a statement corroborated by other family members. However, the authorities have not yet published the results of the medical evaluations or the precise details about the time the teenager spent in the basement.
Identity and Protection of the Victim
Interviewees provided different ages for the teenager, placing her between 12 and 14 years old. Her identity remains hidden to preserve the privacy of the minor, in accordance with the Dominican Republic’s legislation on the protection of minors.
Community and Police Reactions
With a crowd present in the area, the National Police asked the onlookers to maintain a distance. Some neighbors requested calm to allow the police to continue the investigation without interruptions.
Situation of the Suspects
The second man, identified with the nickname “Llavelito”, was taken out of a home under police escort. The father of the individual, over 30 years old, married, and with a daughter, informed his superiors and sought the father of the other accused to have both cases brought to justice. The father indicated that it is up to the authorities to decide the sentence to be imposed.
Next Steps in the Investigation
The National Police has not yet publicly announced the filing of charges or the date of the hearing. The investigation continues to determine the involvement of each suspect and the events that occurred while the teenager was outside her home.
