Manuela is the wife of Elio Torres, the 42-year-old lawyer who walked out on July 16 to explore the Miter Peninsula and has not yet returned. The woman spoke to FREE AIR FM and maintained that “as a family, we continue to ask that the search be expanded.” He told the subject of the call to trained volunteers and requested support with rescue dogs, drones, boats and helicopters. “There are people willing to participate in the search,” she said.
Torres’ wife maintained that “we are seeing it in a very difficult and complicated way, waiting for a response from the State to articulate the media, so that the search is more exhaustive. We are at a stage where time is pressing. If Elio is injured somewhere in the forest, as we believe, he needs assistance and for that he has to get to the forest.
We made a call, a national and international SOS, for volunteers who are trained and can join the search to communicate with the family. These forms are on social networks, the rescue dog of the city of Ushuaia is available to us, which to date has not been summoned, it is a dog that is trained for search and rescue, which has the possibility of travel by helicopter and by boat without any problem”.
He added in another paragraph that “we also want to summon people who may have a boat or who can make a helicopter available so that the volunteers who join the search can reach the area of Bahía Aguirre or the area that is determined for the search. We want to add drones because we have asked the people in charge of the search to add drones, but they indicate that they could freeze due to weather issues.
We know that this is not the case and we make available drones at our expense in the event that they fail or break or whatever. We are not going to take responsibility for that, the owners are willing to use the drones under any circumstances”.
He requested that “the search area be expanded because we see that everything is based on the Bahía Tetis area.
Now they entered through Moat, but it is the entire coastal area and we believe that he could agree with some publications that he made on his previous trip to the Peninsula. He had taken a tour through the middle of the forest, let’s say away from the coast.
He describes the forest, Los Canelos, he describes that he wants to get to some caves and he can’t get there. So we believe that he was close to that area, so he could perhaps be found, he may have an injured foot, some difficulty that prevents him from moving, but he knows how to stay safe, he knows first aid, he is going to protect himself and he is going to stand firm. until they go looking for it. But for that we need people to get there”.
Manuela, in response to another query from the station, stated: “We believe that the search was undertaken from the point where the GPS stopped emitting a signal and we know that the GPS stopped emitting a signal due to a blockade by the company, not because it happened to him.” something at that moment, an incident, an accident that has damaged the equipment. So we believe that he continued to move from there and that it may be because he now saw that he did not reach the Moat area, it may be that he had an accident, a sprained ankle in one area, but in an area after that”.
“He estimated to arrive on Sunday, but he was aware that it could take him more or less two or three days because it depended on the terrain, the crossing of the rivers,” he said, “he had already crossed four rivers when the signal is lost, that is, , he was equipped for that. We trust that he was prepared to do it and that is why we support him to do it. He is not a daredevil as the owner of the Tolhuin bakery came out to say, he is not a person who is going to risk, he is going to go madly to risk his life, it is not like that. The Miter peninsula that Elio was doing is not the Miter peninsula that this gentleman who spoke was used to doing. He is another guy. Elio is an athlete who seeks to improve himself day by day, who runs mountain races, who has done Aconcagua, all the mountains of Ushuaia, Olivia, he has it all.
He was not going to Península Miter to do what others do, which is totally perfect and valid, it is his way of enjoying Península Miter, going for 30 days and resting and relaxing, going at a different pace, eating a barbecue, sharing with friends. No, he went to the Miter Peninsula in search of improving himself, to live his own experience as there are other people who have also done it, there is another boy who also did the Peninsula in 10 days, so they are a new group of people who go to the Miter Peninsula with sports people, with other aspirations, so that is why we believe that he is in a condition to continue with life and we want them to look for him now with all the means, that all the means be articulated, that they put dogs, that they put drones, that continue to fly, that allow people who are trained to enter and join the search ”.
Do you already have people confirmed? Because at the time there was talk of the Andean Club, of other sectors that also wanted to join.
“We have confirmed people, we are sending people as a result of the resolution that the government put out, we are sending people the resolution so that they sign it and we are going to present it in Ushuaia so that they can be authorized, since that resolution, that possibility, an authorization where responsibilities are defined,
Exactly, the people who are going to join the search as volunteers, the government establishes that they sign that liability release from the government if something happens to them, then those people who are joining, are signing and will be presented so that authorize their entry,” he concluded.
