The arrest ordered by the prosecutor for intentional homicides Marisol Fabbro borders with Paraguay.
The lifeless body of the 43-year-old woman was found in a house located in the vicinity of Calle Liniers at 1700 in the neighboring town.
The discovery of the body of Nora Escobar, who had been seen for the last time on April 22, was detected through a trail with dogs from the Zapadores Firefighters Group. Due to the fact that the patio is made up of cement material, the personnel of that police agency were asked to extract the body to be sent to the Legal Medical Institute to perform an autopsy.

It was Karen, the victim’s daughter, who reported the disappearance. She assured that her mother had been seen for the last time on April 22 when she came to work in Rosario as a cleaning employee and she removed the elements to participate in the Puerto Norte Marathon.
Then, the daughter appeared at the Granadero Baigorria home where she was on Tuesday night and where she had lived with her husband for at least five years. There, the man replied that the woman had left the house and she had moved three months ago. Karen, her daughter, pointed out that her things weren’t there either.
