Search for Brianna Genao suspended after FBI agent falls down a ravine

Imbert, Puerto Plata.– The search for the girl Brianna Genao Rosario was temporarily suspended this Wednesday in the community of Barrero, after it was preliminarily reported that an agent of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) was injured after suffering a fall during the operation.

According to information obtained, the agent would have slipped down a ravine while participating in the search in a wooded area of difficult access, which caused a rapid mobilization of the medical personnel that are part of the search efforts.

The agent was evacuated from the area and transferred to a health center in the province. However, so far, neither the Dominican authorities nor the international organizations involved have officially confirmed the incident or offered details about their medical condition. Following the incident, the teams suspended operations at the point where the supposed accident occurred as a preventive measure, while the operation is reorganized and the conditions of the terrain are evaluated, characterized by its geographical complexity. It is expected that in the coming hours the authorities will offer an official version, amid the wide national and international deployment that remains active in Barrero to find the whereabouts of the minor, who has been missing since December 31, 2025.
