A search for 34 missing cockfighting gamblers has led authorities to focus on a volcanic lake located in the outskirts of the city of Altagracia. The group of men, consisting of locals and tourists, was last seen heading to the illegal cockfighting event that took place on the shores of the lake last Saturday. Concerns grew when none of them returned home or made contact with their families following the match.
Local law enforcement, as well as search and rescue teams, have been deployed to the area to comb through the rugged terrain surrounding the lake in hopes of locating the missing individuals. The authorities are working closely with the families of the missing men to gather any relevant information that could aid in the search efforts.
The event organizers have denied any involvement or knowledge of the whereabouts of the gamblers, stressing that they are not responsible for what may have happened after the cockfighting event concluded. However, some locals speculate that the disappearance could be linked to disputes over gambling debts or illegal activities associated with the event.
As the search continues, the community remains on edge, hoping for a breakthrough in the investigation that will lead to the safe return of the missing individuals.
