Mentres o goberno de Alejandro Agustín Lanusse intentaba premer por todos os medios ao presidente de Chile Salvador Allende para que deportara aos fuxidos en calidade de prisioneiros, toda a zona de Rawson e Trelew era virtualmente ocupada por forzas militares do exército e xendarmería, que patrullaban continuamente e facían practicamente imposible calquera novo intento de fuga.
