Their killers removed them to prevent identification. Only one body remained entirely intact. It belonged to an Argentine diplomat, and daughter of one of the country's most prominent families. But what really set her death apart from the rest was, she'd been a close friend and supporter of her country's current administration, her presumed killers.
Commenting on her apparent murder, a fellow diplomat said, quote, The revolution has begun to devour its own children, and nobody can do anything about it. Her murder seemed to prove nobody was safe. As for the other 35 bodies, their deaths barely made headlines. Among them were the bodies of two nuns, last seen helping look for residents of Buenos Aires who had recently gone missing before they disappeared themselves. They went on to be buried in unmarked graves. They remain there, nameless and forgotten, for decades. Victims of a clandestine military conspiracy enacted by an administration no one elected.
