Her
daughter Cristina was abducted on 13 July, 1976. Only later did Nélida
discover a letter revealing that Cristina had suspected she was
pregnant; later, survivors confirmed that this had been the case and
that she had had her baby. That child would now be 35 years old, but his
or her whereabouts are still unknown. President of the Grandmothers,
Estela de Carlotto, expressed her sorrow that Nélida was never able to
meet her grandchild.
