Unit 11 -- Missing; The Official Story

Blog Query No. 2, a biography of Gabrielle, the little girl from The Official Story:

Gabrielle Marnet de Ibanez was introduced today as the new director of Save the Chilean Children, a non-profit group founded to work for the rights of Chilean orphans. Gaby was educated at St. Theresa's Academy for Girls and earned her Sociology degree at the University of Santiago. Children are a special concern for Gaby as she was adopted as an infant, when her birth parents lost their lives as political prisoners of the Pinochet regime. Gaby was later reunited with her biological grandmother, with whom she maintains a relationship today. Her parents are Alicia Marnet de Ibanez, and the late Roberto de Ibanez, also a victim of the Pinochet regime.
