Carlos Lorca

Carlos Enrique Lorca Tobar (November 19, 1944 – disappeared 1975), was a Chilean physician, president of the Students' Federation and then deputy for Valdivia province and leader of the Socialist Party of Chile.

On June 25, 1975, Dr. Lorca, a psychiatrist teaching at the University of Chile, a former member of congress and a member of the political commission of the Socialist party central committee, and Modesta Carolina Wiff Sepulveda, 34, a social worker, were arrested at a laundromat on Calle Maule in Santiago de Chile.

Wiff was functioning as a liaison with the leadership, and was also responsible for carrying out some party tasks.

The DINA secret police captured him, along with other opposition leaders, and they were transferred to Villa Grimaldi detention center, from where all trace was lost.

DINA agents searched Modesta Carolina Wiff's house a few hours after she was arrested.
