Argentine Forensic Anthropology Team urging more relatives of those forcibly disappeared during the military dictatorship to give blood samples to identify unnamed bodies, almucalatrava, lionreport and tomifcuesta report.
In this March 26, 2019 photo, Bonnie Loedel hugs her cousin while her brother Daniel Loedel holds a wooden urn containing the skeletal remains of their sister Isabel, as they arrive to the Remembrance, Truth and Justice Mausoleum for the Victims of State Sponsored Terrorism, at the public cemetery in La Plata, Argentina. Isabel Loedel, whose remains were only identified last year, was forcibly disappeared during the country's 1976-1983 dictatorship.
The Remembrance, Truth and Justice Mausoleum for the Victims of State Sponsored Terrorism is at a cemetery in La Plata, a town about 35 miles from Argentina’s capital of Buenos Aires. It holds the remains of at least a dozen people who were disappeared during the dictatorship. The Argentine Forensic Anthropology Team has been working since 1984, a year after Argentina’s return to democracy. It has recovered the bodies of more than 1,400 disappeared people and identified 795 of them.
Still, Bonnie said, she has only vague memories of her much older sister. “Isabel was this mysterious person,” she said. Giving blood samples to identify a loved one who died in violent circumstances is a delicate psychological process that can bring back haunting memories. “Just calling was tough. I called several times and hung up,” Barrera told The Associated Press. When she finally stayed on the line, she found the team also would provide her with emotional support and she agreed to go ahead.
