An
Argentine woman kidnapped 32 years ago as a teenager has been found alive and
well in Bolivia following a joint investigation between the two countries,
Argentine police said Wednesday.
Now
45, the woman was the victim of human trafficking at just 13 years old, police
said.
Bolivian
officers had been gathering evidence on the woman’s whereabouts for several
months at the behest of their Argentine counterparts, before localizing her in
a small town in the south of the country.
Once
Bolivian authorities gave the authorization, police liberated the woman and her
son.
The
pair were transferred to Mar del Plata, her hometown some 400 kilometers (250
miles) to the south of Buenos Aires, where she was reunited with family,
Argentine police said.
