Argentine authorities have announced a million-dollar reward for information leading to the location of Abril Romero, a 17-year-old who disappeared two months ago in General Rodríguez. She is suspected to have left voluntarily with a 32-year-old man with a history of gender violence complaints. The offer aims to revive the search for the teenager.
Abril Romero, a 17-year-old from General Rodríguez in Buenos Aires Province, disappeared two months ago, around September 19, 2025, based on the announcement made on November 19, 2025, by TN. Authorities have offered a million-dollar reward for anyone providing key information on her whereabouts, in an effort to resolve the case that has raised concerns in the local community.
According to initial suspicions, Romero may have left with Cristian Velazco, a 32-year-old man facing several complaints for gender violence. This hypothesis stems from preliminary evidence in the investigation, though no further details on their relationship or motives for the alleged departure have been disclosed. The family and police forces remain hopeful that the reward will encourage witnesses or individuals with relevant information to come forward.
The case highlights challenges in searching for missing persons in Argentina, where gender violence complaints often complicate probes. No significant progress has been reported so far, and the reward marks a key step to mobilize public collaboration.
