"We had an accident, I want to find her": the dramatic message from the boyfriend of Sofía Devries, the young woman missing in Puerto Madryn when diving with him
Leonardo, the boyfriend of missing diver Sofía Devries, publicly pleads for her safe return while criticizing the slow response of the coast guard during the search.
Sofía Devries, a 23-year-old from Moreno, Argentina, went missing while diving in the Gulf Nuevo near Puerto Madryn. Her boyfriend, Leonardo, who was with her at the time of the accident, has reached out through social media, expressing his desperation and love, stating, 'Sofía is my wife, my partner. We came to Puerto Madryn to certify a diving course. Unfortunately, we had an accident underwater and haven’t found her since yesterday. I want to find her!'.
Leonardo has criticized the coast guard’s response, claiming that their focus was on bureaucratic matters instead of taking immediate action to search for Sofía. This has raised concerns about the effectiveness of emergency response protocols in such a situation. He emphasizes the urgency of the situation, calling out the lack of swift action from authorities and appealing for support in the search efforts.
As the search operations continue under the leadership of the coast guard, the community and social media users have rallied around Leonardo's plea, drawing attention to the case of the missing young woman and the challenges faced in maritime rescue operations. The incident not only highlights the personal tragedy of a missing loved one but also raises broader questions regarding emergency response systems in Argentina.
