described a series of threats she had received, which had prompted her to move several times “out of fear.” 70 In addition, the soldiers María Elena Toro had communicated with—who had mentioned the grenade explosion and the accounts of the alleged escape of Óscar Tabares—each made one statement.71 The statements made by those soldiers during the proceedings before the National Inspector General were provided for this preliminary investigation. 72 Finally, the lieutenant of the “Tigre” Company and the corporal gave statements during these proceedings, in which they maintained their account of Óscar Tabares's flight. 73 57. The prosecutor of the Judicial Police Sectional Investigations Service, as well as María Elena Toro, requested on different occasions that an inspection be carried out of the scene of the events, in San Juanito, Meta. 74 The Office of the Prosecutor refused to do so several times, citing the following problems: the lack of police authorization because of “[...] the issue of public order in the [c]ountry, especially in the region of Sumapaz, insufficient resources for travel allowances,” 75 “[...] circumstances related to public order,” 76 and the lack of authorization of the Fourth Division of the National Army, arguing that it would be “[...] necessary to do a helicopter operation, [...] which the Army cannot pay for.” 77 Finally, on September 25, 2001, the Office of the Prosecutor ordered the Police Inspector of San Juanito, Meta, to go to the Toledo road to determine whether the skeletal remains of Óscar Tabares were there, and notified the Office of the Mayor of San Juanito, Meta, so that it could collaborate. 78 The order directs the search team to look: “[...] under a flat rock” and indicates that “[a]pparently the town crazy” may have information about this. 79 The search was carried out on January 14, 2002, by the mayor, officials from the mayor's office, and locals. They found “[...] pieces of camouflaged fabric” and “[...] indications that holes had been dug,” but no remains. 80 Another attempt at an inspection by the Office of the Prosecutor in 2002 was dismissed due to opposition from the police and the air force because in that area “the 51st and 53rd fronts and the Ché Guevara mobile column of the FARC-EP are currently committing crimes,” and they stated that a visit to the area should only be undertaken with an army presence. 81 The search was finally carried out from January 24–28, 2005. Human remains were not found, and a simulated grenade explosion was conducted with the same type of grenade. 82 record of Ramiro Henao Echeverry before the Prosecutor General of the Nation, February 7, 2000 (evidence file, folios 2574 and 2575). 70 Cf.
