BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (AP) - A key witness in the trial of an ex-officer charged with torture during Argentina's military dictatorship has gone missing, officials said Thursday.
It is the second time in three months that a witness has disappeared during a human rights case stemming from the 1976-1983 dictatorship.
Luis Angel Gerez, 50, who said he was tortured by retired police chief Luis Abelardo Patti in 1972, was last seen leaving a friend's home Wednesday night in the town of Escobar, just north of the capital of Buenos Aires, the public security department said in a statement.
