Twenty months of still chewing on the pain and waiting
Veinte meses después de la muerte de Claudia Leguizamón, docente cuya familia cree fue instigada al suicidio por un hombre que convivió con ellos durante décadas, la investigación judicial permanece suspendida en el umbral de una prueba que no llega. La autopsia psicológica ordenada para reconstruir el estado interior de la víctima y determinar si su muerte fue orquestada por la crueldad ajena superó su plazo de noventa días sin fecha de conclusión a la vista. En el silencio de ese retraso, cinco hijos adultos sostienen juntos el peso del duelo, la memoria y la espera, recordándonos que la justicia diferida no es solo un problema procesal, sino una herida que el tiempo mantiene abierta.
- Una autopsia psicológica —la reconstrucción de la vida interior de una persona tras su muerte— lleva más de veinte meses sin completarse, paralizando la posibilidad de imputar formalmente al acusado.
- Los cinco hijos de Leguizamón, querellantes en la causa, denunciaron al acusado de manera independiente y a su propio ritmo, a medida que los recuerdos de lo vivido se volvieron imposibles de callar.
- Fabio Leguizamón, portavoz familiar, describe el proceso como 'veinte meses masticando el dolor y esperando', mientras sus hermanos le preguntan constantemente por qué la causa no avanza.
- Directivos del colegio donde trabajaba Claudia confirmaron espontáneamente ante Fabio que el acusado ejercía violencia contra ella en el propio establecimiento escolar.
- La familia sostiene que el expediente ya contiene pruebas suficientes para avanzar, pero el fiscal Antonino aguarda la autopsia psicológica como condición para decidir sobre los cargos.
- Unidos por un objetivo común —justicia para su madre y reconocimiento social de lo que ella sufrió—, los cinco hermanos permanecen a la espera de que el sistema judicial responda con la urgencia que el dolor exige.
Veinte meses han transcurrido desde la muerte de Claudia Leguizamón, docente cuya familia sostiene que fue llevada al suicidio por un hombre llamado Lobos, quien convivió con ellos durante décadas y fue padre de sus hijos. Sus cinco hijos adultos lo denunciaron, cada uno en su propio momento, a medida que los recuerdos y la comprensión de lo vivido se fueron cristalizando en certeza. Fabio fue el primero. Los demás lo siguieron.
El eje de la investigación es una autopsia psicológica: no un examen del cuerpo, sino una reconstrucción del mundo interior de la víctima —su personalidad, su estado emocional, los eventos recientes que marcaron sus días— para determinar si su muerte fue producto de su propio dolor o de la influencia deliberada de otra persona. El fiscal Antonino ordenó el procedimiento con un plazo de noventa días. Ese plazo venció hace mucho. El informe no ha llegado. Sin él, no hay imputación formal.
Fabio habló recientemente sobre el peso de ese limbo. Describió la autopsia psicológica como la 'madre de todas las pruebas', la llave que debería abrir el proceso. Pero también carga con otra responsabilidad: explicarles a sus hermanos por qué la causa no avanza, traducir para ellos la lentitud de la maquinaria judicial. Hace poco, mientras realizaba trámites en uno de los colegios donde trabajaba su madre, los propios directivos lo llamaron aparte para contarle sobre la violencia que Claudia había sufrido allí, cuando Lobos iba a buscarla al establecimiento.
Los cinco hermanos se han mantenido unidos. Todos atravesaron evaluaciones psicológicas propias, sesiones difíciles en las que debieron revivir y articular experiencias que llevan consigo desde la infancia. Fabio convivió con Lobos más de treinta años. 'Estamos unidos, esperando un resultado, con el mismo objetivo', dijo. Ese objetivo es doble: justicia para su madre, y el reconocimiento de que lo que le ocurrió importa —no solo a quienes la amaban, sino a la sociedad que la conoció.
Twenty months have passed since Claudia Leguizamón, a teacher, died. Her five adult children believe she was driven to take her own life by a man named Lobos—someone who fathered children with their mother and lived within their family. They reported him themselves, each coming forward at their own pace as memories surfaced and the weight of what they had witnessed became impossible to carry alone.
The investigation hinges on a single piece of evidence: a psychological autopsy. This is not a medical examination of the body, but rather a careful reconstruction of a person's inner life after death—their personality, their mental state, the emotional currents running through them, the recent events that shaped their days. Prosecutor Antonino ordered the procedure to understand whether Leguizamón's death was suicide born of her own despair, or whether it was something darker: a death orchestrated by someone else's influence, someone else's cruelty.
The psychological autopsy was supposed to take ninety days. That deadline has long since passed. The report has not arrived. Without it, Antonino cannot decide whether to formally charge Lobos with a crime. The family, meanwhile, believes the evidence already in the file is more than sufficient. They have waited twenty months. They are still waiting.
Fabio Leguizamón, one of the five children, spoke last Friday about the strain of this limbo. "Twenty months of still chewing on the pain and waiting," he said. He described the psychological autopsy as the "mother of all evidence"—the test that would unlock everything else. But it has not come. The family receives responses from the justice system, he explained, but not the responses they need. They want the process to move faster. They want charges filed.
Fabio carries an additional burden: his siblings ask him constantly what is happening with the case, why it is not advancing. He struggles to explain the machinery of the legal system to them, the waiting, the procedures, the reasons for delay. Recently, while handling paperwork related to his mother's employment at one of the schools where she taught, the school's own administrators pulled him aside. They told him about the violence his mother had endured there—violence that occurred when Lobos would come to collect her, right there in the building where she worked.
The five siblings have remained bound together through this ordeal. Each made the decision to report Lobos independently, in their own time, without coercion. Fabio was first. The others followed as fragments of memory and understanding crystallized into certainty. They have all undergone psychological evaluations themselves—difficult sessions in which they had to relive and articulate the experiences of their lives. Fabio lived with this man for more than thirty years. His siblings have carried these memories since childhood.
"We are united, waiting for a result, with the same objective," Fabio said. The objective is simple: justice for their mother, and an acknowledgment that what happened to her matters not only to her family but to the society that knew her. The psychological autopsy, whenever it arrives, will determine whether the law agrees.

The Hearth Conversation Another angle on the story
Why does a psychological autopsy take so long? What are they actually doing?
They're reconstructing her inner world after death—her personality, her vulnerabilities, her state of mind in those final weeks. It's not quick work. But ninety days was the deadline, and it's been far longer.
And without that report, the prosecutor can't move forward?
She won't charge him. The family says there's already enough evidence in the file, but Antonino is waiting for this one piece. It's become the linchpin.
What does the family think happened?
They believe Lobos drove her to it—that he manipulated her, wore her down, pushed her toward suicide. Five of her own children reported him. They lived it.
How are they holding up?
Fractured. Fabio said his siblings keep asking him why nothing is moving, and he can't explain it to them. They've all had to relive everything in psychological evaluations. Twenty months of this.
Did anyone else witness what was happening to her?
Yes. School administrators told Fabio about violence they saw—Lobos coming to collect her from work, the way he treated her there. It was visible. People knew.
So what are they waiting for now?
That report. And then, they hope, charges. They want the system to finally say: this matters. She matters.
