Correct me if I'm wrong, and there's not a legal case playing out here for due process to see itself through.
Were you able to see the interactions between Graham Plattner and this alleged victim?
Did you actually physically see them?
Did she produce them for you?
As I've seen in other earthquake stories that I have covered, you see big flood-lit areas where teams are working through the night.
None of that was here.
What we found when we arrived was simply local people who have been trying their hardest for the last few days and nights, staying here, sleeping in the streets, trying to move rubble, in many cases with nothing more than their bare hands.
And there is a huge sense that the state has completely let them down.
During the course of the afternoon, we are seeing more activity here.
We've certainly seen the police on the streets, but there is still no sign of a large-scale mobilised presence by the state.
This country has been running on empty for years.
Under the control of President Nicolas Maduro, the economy was basically run into the ground through mismanagement, through corruption.
People have suffered years of hyperinflation.
One young Venezuelan here has just said to me, a monthly salary would not buy you one packet of medication.
So if this was a test for the Venezuelan state, it's a test it could only fail.
Where we are standing now, there is a big operation going on still, but this is to try to recover bodies, not to find the living.
Hope of that is gone at this particular place.
Now, about seven bodies have been taken out so far today.
We saw one of those being recovered about an hour ago.
It was a very moving moment.
