Daniela Andrea Largo Sánchez was found alive in Pereira on August 11. President Abelardo de la Espriella announced the rescue at 9:31 p.m. after a seven-hour search involving specialist teams and dogs.
Presidential confirmation
The president posted his message a few minutes after learning she had been found. He praised rescuers and canine teams without stating the exact extraction time.
The seven hours describe the search according to the presidency. They do not establish precisely when Daniela was located or freed.
A Reuters document at 8:55 p.m.
Reuters Connect timestamped at 8:55 p.m. a document showing Daniela being moved towards a vehicle during the rescue in Pereira. This is the published document’s time, not an officially established extraction time.

Trapped for 36 hours and a 12-hour extraction, AP reports
Associated Press reports that Daniela was trapped for about 36 hours. The agency describes a complex 12-hour extraction: her arm was pinned and a doctor administered intravenous fluids.
These durations do not necessarily correspond to the seven hours of “searching” cited by the presidency. AP places the rescue late Tuesday without giving an exact extraction time; Reuters’ published 8:55 p.m. reference and the presidency’s 9:31 p.m. announcement therefore remain distinct.
No medical update released
The sources establish that she was found alive but provide no diagnosis, hospital or prognosis. They do not support claims that she was unharmed or in stable condition.
They also differ on her age: the presidency says 30 and Reuters 32. Her age is therefore not presented as established.
Searches continue
The rescue is a concrete result for teams in Pereira, but it says nothing about the outcome for other people reported missing or trapped. Each case must retain its own source, place and time.
The next useful information would be an authorised medical update and further official confirmation of ongoing operations.
Update history
Updated August 12, 2026 at 9:32 a.m. Colombia time
Clarification added to the historical 8:55 p.m. and 9:31 p.m. slots: AP describes about 36 hours trapped and a 12-hour extraction operation with intravenous fluids. The three durations remain separate, and the age discrepancy — 30 according to the presidency, 32 according to AP and Reuters — is retained. No new media is added.
