In May 2004, Villarrubia returned for a short stay in Chivilcoy, this time accompanied by a videographer. He continued to spend time with Placente and Calandrino, with whom he had become particularly close. To his fellow reporter Fuentes, this was troubling.

As it happened, in the course of his confessions Calandrino revealed something Villarrubia found troubling.

Villarrubia did not know what to do. Calandrino was friendly with the Germans, and Villarrubia was not sure how loyal he felt towards them. If he told Calandrino the truth, Calandrino could easily relay that to the Germans, thereby jeopardizing not only the CONTACTO investigation but any chance of bringing Schaefer to justice for his crimes. On the other hand, Villarrubia felt strongly that the safety of the child was paramount. Villarrubia, unable to reach his editors in Santiago, had to make the call on the spot.

When Villarrubia was finally able to contact Fuentes and Rodríguez and tell them what he had done, they were at first furious.

For his part, Villarrubia felt confident he had done the right thing.
