 The organization known as CIO (Corporación para
la Investigación OVNI, or Corporation for the Investigation of UFOs
- ed), which was recently responsible for the investigation of the tiny
creature discovered in Concepcion, Chile, has decided to withdraw from
the case. The announcement was made in light of recent requests from the
family members and owners of the alleged creature also known as TOY,. The
family is reportedly 'under pressure' to stop the investigation from going
any further.

-
- SANTIAGO -- Through an official statement, the CIO organization
announced the decision not to proceed with the investigations regarding
the alleged creature found near Concepcion, Chile by family members from
Santiago. The information provided by CIO points out the following:
-
- On November 5, 2002, during a meeting of directors, a
unanimous decision was reached to retire from the investigation of the
TOY case, a phenomenon broadly covered by the news media.
-
- This decision is based fundamentally because of pressures
upon the family members and even recently, on our own director. Given these
unfavorable circumstances, the required investigation of this particular
case cannot proceed.
-
- We want to express our most sincere thanks to Veterinarian
Enzo Bossco and his team, for their unconditional participation and support
for CIO in Chile, clearly demonstrating their scientific interest in the
case.
-
- We leave the case up to the family members and owners
of TOY, under their absolute freewill, to make the final decision. We also
want to let them know that there is absolutely no commitment nor pressure
from us to force them to make a decision regarding this case. We want to
express our gratitude for their trust and for letting us manage the initial
steps of the investigation.
-
- We apologize to all those who followed this case and
somehow put their trust in us, hoping to hear about the final results.
We truly hope you understand the reasons for our decision.
-
- Enrique Sepulveda Sariego President CIO Chile
