There's nothing in that link that contradicts what I wrote. My source was an official police alert. I lost the reference, but here is another one from a newspaper (in Spanish):

Edit: that was from Argentina, another one in Chile:

Could be, but I think "official police alerts" are actually one of the least reliable sources of information.
"Could be" on sources, scare quotes, stay classy.
