The call that no one answered: Florencia Romano: The murder of Florencia Romano in Mendoza.
A neighbor called 911 at 6:58 PM on Saturday, December 12, 2020. The operator heard screams and a violent argument in pasaje Berra, but she hung up the call: the street did not appear on her map. 300 meters away, a killer was finishing suffocating a 14-year-old girl. Could the State have saved Florencia that afternoon?
In this episode, we explore how a failure of the emergency system, a predator profile on social media, and a parallel investigation by desperate parents converged to condemn Pablo Arancibia to life in prison. We analyze the transport card that destroyed his alibi, the 911 recording that exposed state ineffectiveness, and the testimony of the neighbor who saw him asking for help to dispose of the body. How did the State come to recognize its responsibility years later?
Victim: Florencia Romano
Date: December 12, 2020
Location: Guaymallén and Maipú, Mendoza, Argentina
Status: Closed case with life sentence and civil compensation
- Operator Soledad Herrera hung up the 911 call because pasaje Berra did not appear on the system's map, even though the nearest police station was three blocks away.
- Arancibia claimed to have accompanied Florencia to the bus stop, but his SUBE transport card never recorded a return trip from Maipú.
- Florencia's phone sent a last message at 6:55 PM saying she was waiting for the bus, but it turned off immediately afterward; the prosecutor concluded that the killer wrote the message.
- In April 2023, the province paid 12 million pesos to the family after a civil ruling established that timely intervention by the State could have prevented the crime.
