The second disappearance of Julio López
López disappeared from his home in the Los Hornos neighborhood of La Plata on September 18, 2006when he was expected to go to the municipal headquarters to witness the arguments of the trial that the Federal Oral Court 1 of La Plata followed the Buenos Aires Police Commissioner Miguel Etchecolatz for crimes against humanity, committed during the last military dictatorship.
The man he had been kidnapped in 1977 and was held captive until mid-1979 in five clandestine detention centers.
In the testimonies given in the context of the trial, López had been very clear in identifying Etchecolatz as the man who directed and executed the torture sessions with cattle prods in that police headquarters in La Plata.
López, a Peronist militant, had identified during the trial several of the illegal centers where he was detained, such as the Quinta de La Plata police station and the Pozo de Arana, where his profession as a bricklayer allowed him to describe his places of captivity, even though some of them They had been remodeled.
That morning of September 18, 2006, survivors of the last dictatorship waited for hours for the man to appear to witness the allegations, but López never arrived and to this day his whereabouts are unknown.
