Buenos Aires, January 29 (NA) – The young Argentine woman who was missing in the city of Los Angeles in the United States was found dead more than a week after the search for her began. Narela Micaela Barreto was last seen on Wednesday, January 21, the day she stopped responding to messages and calls, which led to the corresponding complaint being filed. As there were no updates, the family began circulating the case on social media, and just hours after the story went viral, the family confirmed to the TN news outlet that the young woman had been found dead. At this time, the details of the investigation are unknown, as it is unclear if it was a crime or a natural death. According to the Argentine News Agency, the social media accounts of the Argentine woman's family were closed. Barreto was originally from the Buenos Aires locality of Banfield, in the Lomas de Zamora district, and had moved to the North American country two years ago, where she worked as a waitress.
