The confirmation came after a DNA analysis requested by prosecutor Silvana Fernández, who was investigating the young woman's disappearance.

Milagros lived in conditions of extreme vulnerability and was addicted to drugs in the Bajo Pueyrredón area. Her family had filed several reports about her disappearance in November and December of last year.

The situation of former police officer Horacio Grasso becomes more complicated

The remains were found in the apartment occupied by former police officer Horacio Grasso, who was serving house arrest after being sentenced to 27 years in prison for the murder of a child.

The prosecutor's office investigating the discovery of the body, led by José Bringas, could charge Grasso with the crime of femicide.

"It is very likely that with this information, the former police officer will ultimately be charged," sources close to the case told Cadena 3.
