Jorge Segundo Thather Muñoz was arrested that day at a boarding house located on Calle Sotomayor in Santiago by Ejército personnel. He remained in the status of forcibly disappeared until September 1993, when it was determined that he had died that same day and that his death had been registered as that of an unidentified person.

The Autopsy Protocol from the Medical Legal Institute states that his death occurred on a public thoroughfare due to multiple gunshot wounds. His remains have not been found.

According to the statement provided by Jorge Thather's mother, he did not arrive at the meeting they had scheduled for the morning of December 28, 1973. The following day, a phone call was received at his workplace informing her that her son had been arrested by the military.

A few days later, a friend of his confirmed the arrest, which had taken place at the aforementioned boarding house on the morning of December 28. She made numerous inquiries to locate her son, without success.

In the criminal investigation initiated in the Ninth Criminal Court of Santiago, under case file No. 11.435, following a report by the then-Sub-precinct of Carabineros of Barrancas, it is recorded that on January 1, 1974, four male corpses with multiple gunshot wounds were found on the Pudahuel highway.

The police report indicated that the bodies were found without identification documents and in an advanced state of decomposition. For this reason, as noted in the investigation, they could not be identified through their fingerprints. Their autopsies were performed as unidentified persons, and their deaths were registered under that status.

According to the records archived at the Medical Legal Institute, which are annexed to those Autopsy Protocols, one of them, marked with No. 20/74, was identified as follows: "NN male, (Jorge Segundo Thather M)"; regarding the items the body was carrying, it was noted: "carried an identity card"; and regarding his final disposition, it was indicated: "sent to the Crematorium of the General Cemetery."

Considering the evidence gathered in the Corporation's investigation, the Superior Council reached the conviction that Jorge Segundo Thather Muñoz was executed outside of any legal process by State agents who held him deprived of liberty. For this reason, it declared him a victim of human rights violations.
