41 107. Ángel Tauriño and his wife, who had no children, picked up the basket and kept the baby girl. They registered her as their own daughter two years later and baptized her as María Macarena Tauriño Vivian. 117 108. In the framework of the investigations conducted by Juan Gelman and his wife, Mara Elda Magdalena La Madrid Daltoe (supra para. 90) resulted in some information from different sources regarding the circumstances of the kidnapping and disappearance of Maria Claudia Garcia, as well as on the birth, and around 1997, they also began to learn about their granddaughter who had been born in captivity. They continued their discrete inquiries without much success, that is, until the beginning of 1998, when they contacted Ms. Sara Méndez, who had been detained at Automotives Orletti and subsequently transferred to the SID headquarters in Montevideo, and who was able to provide them with the information necessary to reconstruct what had happened to María Claudia García. 118 109. As a result of information, Juan Gelman and his spouse, who resided in Mexico, traveled continuously to Buenos Aires and Montevideo to interview various persons who had been detained and taken to locations where María Claudia García had been held captive. He also interviewed some current and former government officials who agreed to provide fragmented versions of what had happened. 119 110. Towards the end of November 1999, a neighbor couple from Montevideo contacted Juan Gelman to tell him about a two-month old baby girl who had appeared on the doorstep of the police officer, Ángel Julián Tauriño, an event that at the time had caused an uproar in the neighborhood because it was well-known that Ángel Tauriño and his wife could not have children, something they fervently longed for. 120 111. Given the circumstances, and in order to contact the girl they knew was their granddaughter, Juan Gelman requested the help of the Bishop of San Jose, Monsignor Pablo Galimberti in late January 2000, who in turn, contacted Mrs. Vivián Tauriño and explained the situation to her. Mrs. Vivián Tauriño’s husband, Ángel Julián Tauriño, Chief of Police of San Jose, had died in October 1999. 121 112. As a result of her conversation with Galimberti, Mrs. Vivián de Tauriño revealed to María Macarena Tauriño how she had come to form part of the family. 122                                                          117 Cf.
