She was released from custody. Correa had carried her daughter&#8217;s body into the Hig\u00fcey courthouse on Tuesday, 14 January 2025 in a desperate plea for closure regarding the teen&#8217;s death. The mother did not accept the handling of the case by the judiciary. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Correa&#8217;s attorney explained that her release was made possible under Article 34 of the Criminal Procedure Code, which allows prosecutors to exercise discretion in cases with potential sentences of less than a year. This legal provision applies to the unauthorized exhumation of a corpse, as outlined in Articles 358-360.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;We have secured her release,&#8221; the attorney stated. &#8220;Now, we will launch a new investigation from scratch to seek justice if the circumstances she alleges about her daughter&#8217;s death prove to be true.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Earlier that day, Correa had expressed her deep frustration and sense of abandonment by the authorities. Sobbing and shouting, she entered the courthouse carrying a black bag containing her daughter&#8217;s remains. She had also displayed a sheet with the deceased teen&#8217;s body on it. According to Correa, she took these drastic actions to draw attention to the lack of progress in the investigation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sixteen-year-old Yeira Idraivia Encarnaci\u00f3n Correa drowned after entering the waters of the Salto de Anamuya river recreational area in March 2024. Nearly a year later, authorities have yet to provide a clear explanation for the incident or identify any potential suspects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Public Prosecutor&#8217;s Office has confirmed that the investigation into the teen&#8217;s death is ongoing, but no criminal charges have been filed against those who were with her at the time of the drowning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Read more in Spanish:<br><a href=\"https:\/\/cdn.com.do\/nacionales\/liberan-a-madre-que-desenterro-restos-de-su-hija-para-exigir-justicia-en-higuey\/\">CDN <\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/hoy.com.do\/mujer-que-lanzo-osamenta-de-su-hija-en-fiscalia-de-higuey-confia-en-que-ahora-tendra-respuestas\/\">Hoy<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/listindiario.com\/la-republica\/20250115\/madre-lanzo-osamenta-hija-frente-palacio-justicia-higuey-dice-encontro-camino_841588.html\">Listin Diario<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/Listin Diario https:\/\/listindiario.com\/la-republica\/20250115\/madre-lanzo-osamenta-hija-frente-palacio-justicia-higuey-dice-encontro-camino_841588.html\">Listin Diario<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>16 January 2025<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mildred Correa, a grieving mother who took the drastic step of exhuming her daughter&#8217;s remains and bringing them to the prosecution office to demand justice, had been arrested after the act.
