Summary

In the rural province of Entre Ríos, Argentina, a family vanished without a trace. On January 12, 2002, Rubén “Mencho” Gill, his partner Margarita Gallegos and their four children spent the afternoon with friends, returned to the farm where they lived, and were never seen again. Their belongings were left behind: clothes, documents and even Margarita’s paycheck. They had no vehicle and no known conflicts. Their employer waited three months to notify relatives. Years later the police searched the ranch and found strange clues including traces of blood but no bodies, no suspects, no explanations were ever found. More than twenty years later, the case remains one of Argentina’s most unsettling mysteries: six people gone in one night with no answers.
