Prosecutor of the Social Impact Homicide Unit sent a second request to the Regional Director of Forensic Medicine, asking that the report and photographs of the autopsy prepared by Dr. Rosales be sent as a matter of urgency.81 In a reasoned decision of that same date, the Office of the Prosecutor for Crimes against Life refused the request of the lawyer Romero for a photocopy of the record, saying that the case was under investigation and, therefore, “it would jeopardize the investigation.” 82 On October 30, 2013, the lawyer Romero again requested the Special Prosecutor for Crimes against Life for a record of the investigation as the hierarchical superior.83 On that same date, she formally requested the same prosecutor to locate the autopsy report in the Vicky Hernández case and include it in the record of the investigation.84 39. On November 4, 2013, a criminal investigation analyst at the Sexual Diversity and Social Impact Homicide Unit prepared a report for the prosecutor of the Sexual Diversity and Social Impact Homicide Unit on the steps taken in the investigation, saying that several calls had been made to the telephone number of Vicky's mother but that the person who answered provided no information about her.85 The IACHR notes that the petitioners said that Mrs. Rosa Argelia is still living at the address provided in the record of the investigation.86 In a procedure report of that same date, the Office of the Prosecutor for Crimes against Life indicated that it had attempted to make telephone calls to Oscar Almendazez, the Episcopal Ministry, and Unidad Color Rosa but that all the numbers had sounded “disconnected.”87 40. On November 12, 2013, the Social Impact Homicide Unit Sent the record to the Special Unit for Crimes against Life Examination.88 On November 20, 2013, in a reasoned decision, the special prosecutor of the Crimes against Life Prosecution Unit recognized the mother's right to obtain a copy of the record.89 41. In March 2015, the lawyer Romero had another opportunity to examine the record and found that there was no evidence that the authorities were continuing to conduct investigative procedures.90 She also noted that the following documents had not been incorporated into the record: (i) the autopsy report, (ii) the note dated October 18, 2013, from the Forensic Medicine Service to the Office of the Special Prosecutor for Crimes against Life, informing that said autopsy "was sent to the Homicide prosecution unit on July 13, 2013," and (iii) the requests submitted by her on October 17 and 30, 2013.91 Accordingly, on March 12, 2015, the Ms. Romero reiterated the formal request that the autopsy report be included in the record.92 42. The petitioners said that subsequently, on February 22 and March 2, 2017, formal requests were submitted by the representatives of Rosa Argelia to be given access to an updated copy of the record but that the State has systematically refused to allow them access to it.93 The state argued that “private citizens cannot be allowed access to investigative procedures because they may hinder them.”94 The State said that on September 13, 2017, a request was made to the "Evidence Warehouse for a report on the exhibits collected at Annex 20.
