14 35 September 6, 1980, all with the last name Rochac Hernández. The information available indicates that these ages correspond to the moment of the disappearance of José Adrián. 74. As of early December 1980, the families of the canton San José Segundo were victims of 36 death threats by the armed forces, demanding that they abandon their homes.

One week before the disappearance of José Adrián Rochac Hernández, Ms. María Silveria Rochac Hernández was captured by soldiers for not carrying papers when on a bus with her daughters María Juliana and María del Tránsito. She was released the next day, and on that occasion she told her family that she was released because she was pregnant, for the members of the military told her that “that one that you are going to have perhaps it will be a boy and can serve the fatherland … we’re going to let you go, but if there’s a shoot-out out there and a bullet kills you it’s no longer our 38 problem.” 76. On December 12, 1980, at 8:00 a.m., a military operation was carried out in the canton of San José Segundo, municipality of San Martín Segundo. This operation included the participation of units 39 of the Salvadoran Air Force. It was said that the area was used by “subversives” and that for this reason 40 it was considered a zone that supposed supported the guerrillas. 77. As a security measure, María Silveria Rochac kept the doors to her home closed and stayed inside with her children. Her husband, Alfonso Hernández Herrera, and two of their children, 41 Sebastián and Estanislao Rochac Hernández, had gone out to work and were not present. 78. The soldiers and some paramilitaries arrived at the house at about 9:00 a.m. asking about weapons and searching the house. María Silveria Rochac denied that she had weapons while she was bleeding due to the birth of her newborn child, who she was holding. Ms. Rochac left the baby in the care of her other son Sergio Antonio. At that moment, the assailants took María Silveria Rochac and removed her from the house. Sergio Antonio Rochac Hernández, on seeing that they were taking his mother away, gave the baby to his sister María Juliana Rochac Hernández and went after Ms. María 42 Silveria. 35 Annex xx.
