For this reason, both the National Police and the Public Ministry identified two uncles of the girl as the main suspects. These are Rafael Rosario Núñez, alias Papito, aged 52 years, and Reyes Rosario Núñez, aged 43 years, both direct relatives of the minor. The two men are in custody at the police headquarters in Puerto Plata while investigations continue.

Authorities have indicated that the discarding operation will be carried out with meticulousness and expanded to other areas of the community as new evidence emerges in the investigation, which includes interviews, tracking and gathering of evidence to strengthen the judicial record.
