They are still missing: the story of the lawyer, his wife, three daughters and an uncle, victims of the collapse in zone 3 of the capital

A lawyer and his family are still missing after the collapse of their home due to a landslide last Wednesday, November 22, in zone 3 of the capital, at the end of the 6th. avenue of the El Progreso neighborhood.

The Palacios Morales family has been missing for one day after the house in which they lived collapsed due to the collapse of a hillside.

The neighborhood in which this family has resided is popularly known as “Las Calaveras”, where the earth shook on Tuesday at 3:50 in the morning and then, the father of the family Edwin Geovanni Palacios Jácome, along with his wife, three daughters and another relative, disappeared.

The slope of the cliff is now even more exposed and several houses have cracks that have become indicators and warn of possible new collapses.

The images of the area are clear, but despite the obvious danger, efforts to search for the six members of the family continue.

I worked at the O.J.

The Judicial Branch regrets the event, since Palacios Jácome is a lawyer who worked in the Disciplinary Regime Unit of that body.

Lilian Morales Guzmán, his wife, also disappeared, as did their three daughters. Alejandra del Rosario, 20 years old; Jimena Monserrat, 17, and Aranza Abigail, 8. Along with them, their uncle Jesús Antonio Morales, his mother’s brother, also disappeared.

On social networks, friends and acquaintances express their condolences regarding the tragedy. “Oh friend, God bless you and your beautiful family. Rest in peace. Only the memories of everything shared remain,” was stated in one of the comments.

In the profile of the lawyer Edwin Geovanni Palacios, the constant affection towards his family is evident through photos shared periodically with his wife and daughters.

His history reveals moments shared and dedicated as a family. The images show the smiling lawyer, hugging his two oldest daughters and the youngest, sharing special moments, whether in parks, in a cafe or during the Christmas season, next to the festively decorated tree.

One day before the tragedy, Palacios responded to a comment, precisely on a photo, demonstrating the bond of unity and the deep pride he felt towards his family.

They evaluate risk area

Although in an effort to search for the six victims, the rescuers tried on the first day to descend to the area where it is presumed the house could have collapsed, there were no results.

For this Thursday, November 23, the brigade members continue to evaluate the risk in the affected area before resuming the search for the family missing after the collapse.

The command made up of various institutions is still in the sector, but the operation is temporarily suspended until the level of risk involved in accessing the lower part of the slope again is determined.

One of the factors that complicate exploration in the area is that 11 more homes are on the edge of the cliff.

While the studies continue, for this second day of search no brigade member has descended to the terrain affected by the collapse.
