The Chase of the Condor

In the year of the thunderbird, the condor flew north...

Is it possible an unidentified couple found executed in rural South Carolina in the summer of 1976 were actually "disappeared" from Buenos Aires at the height of Argentina's Dirty War? A review of hundreds of pages of declassified cables, scholarly works, court transcripts, correspondence, and archival evidence suggests the answer could well be yes.

Explore the possibility that a pair of unidentified murder victims found in South Carolina in August 1976 were victims of Argentina's Dirty War. The Chase of the Condor surveys individuals and organizations who were conducting extrajudicial operations against left-wing political opponents and provides a detailed comparison between â€œJacquesâ€ and Jane Doe and a specific pair of desaparecidos abducted in Buenos Aires (CÃ©sar Amadeo Lugones and MarÃa MÃ¡rta Vasquez Ocampo de Lugones), with particular attention to what would have made them valuable intelligence targets and objects of political repression.

Is this another, previously untold chapter in the story of Operation Condor, which saw Pinochetâ€™s allies hunt down critics around the world? Was the bombing that killed Chilean diplomat Orlando Letelier in Washington not the first such attack in the United States?

The Chase of the Condor presents the best, most complete theory yet for the identity of the SC Mystery Couple and what forces could have conveyed them to their end thousands of miles from home.

It also provides the most serious challenge ever to the credibility of Adolfo Scilingo, the Argentine navy captain whose testimony of death flights spurred Horacio Verbitskyâ€™s 1995 bestseller The Flight, an exposÃ© that shocked a generation and defined a nationâ€™s discourse regarding the most painful period in its history.
