The title of another article: “Agents from Criminalistics Arrive in the City for the Burdisso Case.” The date of its publication: June 19, 2008. The defense of the actions taken by the local police, from the chief of the Eighteenth Regional Unit:
[…] on the speed with which Burdisso’s dwelling was occupied and the delay in the arrival of the Brigade of dogs to the city, Dr. Gómez pointed out: “They are two separate issues. As in regards therein to the dwelling it must be understood that as there is no proof of any tragic events the dwelling cannot be kept unoccupied, and the issue of the dogs is because they were looking for finer elements [
sic
]. The dogs were sent in and will be sent in again soon. We are searching for Burdisso throughout thecountry, as we have been from the very first moment.” […]
A declaration, from the same civil servant: “For the moment we are searching to find him alive.”

I want him to show up if he went off on his own, and if he’s found dead, I want the guilty parties to be found. I’m asking everyone who was there [at the demonstration on the seventeenth], [who] also did it out of obligation, nobody is exempt, it could happen to any of us.

As I continue reading my father’s file, I come across a headline from
El Trébol Digital
on June 20, stamped on an idyllic image of the town with the incongruence of a modern device in an old photograph: “Now They Discover a Body in an Abandoned Well.”

This morning, at approximately 10:30, the excavation unit of the Volunteer Firemen of El Trébol, following intense search, founds [
sic
] a body at the depths of an abandoned well in a field 8 kilometers from the city of El Trébol, where there is an old abandoned building with two old water wells. The body appeared beneath much rubble and corrugated metal sheets. The police worked at the site while the firemen operated on the outside of the cavity. At approximately twelve thirty, they managed to extract a male body of some eighty-five or ninety kilos and approximately 1.70 in height tressed [
sic
] in pants and blue cardigan and white T-shirt. The judge of the city of San Jorge, Dr. Eladio García, along with special units and staff from the 18th Regional Unit based in Sastre, arrived on the scene.
Dr. Pablo Cándiz, forensic doctor, made the first inspection of the cadaver, which was later transferred to the city of Santa Fe to be autopsied.
“We have no information on other missing person cases in the region,” stated the Deputy Chief of the 18th Regional Unit, Commissioner Agustín Hiedro, to “ElTrebolDigital” [
sic
] from the site[,] and added:“We found the site based on a report from someone who had been in that field and noticed a penetrating odor surrounding a well. We works [
sic
] intensely in the late noon on Thursday until due to low light it was decided that we would continue our work on Friday morning, and so we came out here first thing.”
The body found in the depths of the crevice has physical similar [
sic
] characteristics to Alberto Burdisso, who mysteriously disappeared exactly twenty days ago.

Some photographs accompanied the article. In the first you could see some five people looking into a well; since all the figures were leaning over, you couldn’t make out their faces, though you could see that one of them, the third from the left, situated precisely in the middle, had white hair and wore glasses. In the next photograph you could see a fireman descending into the well on a rope; the fireman wore a white helmet with the number thirty on it. In another photograph you could see the fireman already inside the well, barely illuminated by the light from the mouth of the hole and a flashlight attached to his helmet. In the next
