San Fernando Police Report
Bogota, Colombia
February 26th, 1974
This is some of the information that we just uncovered in a long lost police report dated February 26th, 1974.
Through a Freedom of Information Request (via the USCIS) we were recently mailed a CD with more information than we thought.
This police report from the San Fernando Police Department is a document that we never knew about and the information on it is not exactly what Tara was told.
She was abandoned by her biological mother & father but not in a field - she was dropped off at the front gate of the home of a Mrs Maria Cubides Viuda de Forero in the Chapinero district of Bogota. Mrs Cubides has since passed on but on that day (lunch time) she was accompanied by her sister and nephew Humberto who is still alive.
With the assistance of our new attorney friend in Bogota (Alvaro) who translated this police report - we now have much more information to go on than we did before.
We are currently trying to get in touch with Mrs Cubides's family (via Facebook). There is also an additional document attached to the police report that we are trying to locate.
Fingers crossed as we are currently making a formal request (in Spanish) to that police department for this missing document!
