Photos of the dead girls wearing military-style uniforms were published in the local press. They also said they burned the military uniforms the girls were said to be wearing, but only after a medical examiner stated the girls appeared to be in their mid- to late teens. Officials in Paraguay ran the fingerprints of the girls though a national database, but didn’t get a match. That led them to seek help from the Argentine government in an effort to establish who had been killed. The two girls have been identified as María del Carmen Villalba, 11, and Lilian Mariana Villalba, 12.
