Weisfeiler's second trip to Colonia Dignidad was taken in a hope that Colonia Dignidad's residents would finally release information that has now been kept secret for over 20 years.

| Gerd Seewald and Ricardo Alvear.
Gerd Seewald, former Colonia’s official, was responsible for creating in the late 1970th of 43,000 secret files on “enemies” of Pinochet's regime, as well as was writing transcripts of interrogations of political prisoners; most of Colonia Dignidad's prisoners were never seen again.

|
| Gerd Seewald said he "was aware that people were brought here against their will but only recently learned that they died here." He said he does not know how many prisoners died there but his guess is 40-50 people. He said he learned about Boris' disappearance in 1985 only from local and international press. (That is very questionable statement.)

| Gerd Seewald is seen on this group picture of the founding residents of Colonia Dignidad (1964) wearing the same type of glasses. Gerd Seewald said that a Russian “Jew would have welcomed by Colonia” as Colonia Dignidad [a Nazi related torture camp where from about hundred of prisoners disappeared] "are in very good, friendly relations with Jews."

Ricardo Alvear, as part of the new leadership, also vehemently denied that Colonia Dignidad was ever involved in Boris' disappearance or murder and said he wants "to clean up Colonia's name in this issue once and for all."

| Ricardo Alvear was telling me the same old story, a lie, that Colonia is about 150 km away from the place of Boris' disappearance and so it was "impossible" for Boris' to be brought here. However, a secret US embassy document of April 1985 contradicted Alvear's position: “the boundaries of Colonia Dignidad are more extensive than had been previously thought… Thus, at the time of his disappearance Weisfeiler was either on or very near to the Colonia property.” See please:
