Four arrest warrants have been issued have been issued since 1997 but there have been no arrests. Apparently there was been no record of any inquiry into the whereabouts of these four fugitives since 1998 – if there had been, it would be clear that they were still being pursued, so it is not unreasonable to think that the warrants are sleeping the sleep of the just.

The staff at La Prensa remain interested in the case. They continue publishing a page in black where Flores’ column used to appear.

Those accused in the case were:
