Authorities drastically expand the search for Brianna Genao

Puerto Plata.- The National Police affirmed this Friday that the search for the minor Brianna Genao remains active, reinforced and without possibility of retreat, after significantly expanding the search radius under the direct coordination of the Public Ministry and with the technical support of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). Police spokesman, Colonel Diego Pesqueira, reported that the operations were intensified from today with more personnel, new exploration routes and specialized resources, in a continuous effort to find the whereabouts of the minor, without ruling out any line of investigation.

“We are constantly expanding the search range, working tirelessly, in strict coordination with the Public Ministry and alongside FBI technicians. We will not stop,” Pesqueira emphasized.

The spokesperson clarified that the National Police does not manage or control the length of stay of international technicians in the country, so their departure could occur at any time today, tomorrow or next Monday - a decision that, he specified, does not depend on the institution.

Regarding a possible march called for this Sunday in the Barrero community, the spokesperson indicated that there is no official confirmation, although he assured that, if it takes place, the National Police will be present to guarantee order, security and the free exercise of the demonstration. Authorities reiterated that the absolute priority is to locate Brianna Genao and fully clarify the case, and assured that the operations will continue without a time limit until concrete results are obtained.
