After a couple hours of searching MSM and more, Using languages in both Russian, Ukrainian, there is still no certain conformation that "Gonzo" is deceased or alive.

USA news is saying nothing, that one of their citizens has gone missing, I wonder why? Would that draw attention for more Americans to go read about him and then read or watch video he has produced denouncing the Ukrainian Government, the truth about the "Azoz" and "Zelenskyy?" Not one (that I could find) USA news source is touching this story! Kinda makes you go, Hmmmm? I mean we're America! What do we got to hide?

There is one article from a Russian news site MKRU that does in fact read that Gonzo is in the hands of the "Azov" and if so, imho, there will be little hope, but let's not give up hope on him yet...

⭐⭐ US citizen Gonzalo Lira fell into the hands of "Azov" and disappeared The journalist criticized the Kiev authorities and wrote about the crimes of the Nazis

A US citizen of Chilean origin, blogger and director Gonzalo Lira, was probably executed by neo-Nazis from the Azov terrorist organization banned in the Russian Federation. “Kidnapped, tortured and killed by the Kraken unit,” writes American military analyst Scott Ritter. Lira disappeared in Kharkiv a few days ago, his last posts on Telegram and Twitter were made on April 15.

As social media users suggest, Gonzalo Lira could have been captured and executed by Sergei Velichko, nicknamed “Chile”, from the Azov special unit “Kraken”, operating in the Kharkiv region. Earlier, Velichko and his "brother" Konstantin Nemichev appeared in footage with the executions of Russian prisoners of war. It was even reported that they were captured by Russian special forces, but this information was not confirmed.

The Kraken, by the way, is a mythical sea monster, a giant squid that attacks ships and kills sailors. Only people with a very perverted imagination could name their unit after this disgusting creature.

Oleg Yasinsky, a well-known expert on Latin America, told MK about who Gonzalo Lira is.

• I don't know him personally, but I read his publications. Therefore, the ending of this story did not surprise me. the expert said. - It is known that he was born in the United States, he has dual citizenship - American and Chilean. He spent most of his life in the USA. His life is much more closely connected with America than with Chile. Although Lira is a very famous family of Chilean aristocrats, they are by no means political migrants. In the United States, their family, most likely, just got on some business-related matters. We can say that he belonged to the Chilean elite.

Lira has lived in Kharkiv since 2016, as he married a Ukrainian. He began visiting the country in 2012.

• Before the start of the special operation in Ukraine, Lira was such a fairly traditional American, though he was against globalization. Yasinsky says. – At the same time, he was not a left-wing activist; rather, he was right-wing.

With the beginning of the special operation, he took a very clear anti-government, pro-Russian position. He very specifically and accurately exposed many things, Nazism in Ukraine. Those of his publications that I saw were very honest and fair. His behavior can be called heroic, since he knew perfectly well what could await him. I don't know what he hoped for. Now a group of Ukrainian Nazis "Kraken" is suspected of his abduction and murder, because they threatened him. They promised to capture and kill him.

• Is anything known about the reaction from Chile and the United States to this tragedy?

• The Chilean Foreign Ministry said it was trying to conduct some kind of investigation, but I don't think that Kharkiv has the right conditions to find out something. The American side did not react at all, although it is their direct duty to deal with the fate of their citizen who disappeared in Ukraine. The story is convoluted, but all things considered, he has little chance of being alive right now, unfortunately.

Gonzalo Lira is also known as a novelist and film producer. His book "Acrobat" was filmed by Miramax. He ran a YouTube channel in opposition to the Kiev authorities, where he talked about the atrocities of Ukrainian militants in Mariupol and exposed the fakes of Ukrainian and Western media.

Before his disappearance, he claimed that he was being pursued by the SBU, and warned that if he did not get in touch within 12 hours, then his name could be included in the list of opposition politicians, journalists and bloggers abducted or killed in Ukraine that he published. "If you haven't heard from me for 12 hours or more, put me on this list," the Chilean wrote.

RT NEWS ARTICLE:

⭐⭐ My personal journey into the drama-infused existence of Gonzalo Lira began in mid-February 2022, when I appeared as part of a panel discussion organized by Joe Lauria of Consortium News (CN), which included the British writer Alexander Mercouris.

It was just prior to the Russian “special military operation” kicking off in Ukraine. Alexander and I subsequently appeared on several CN-hosted panels to discuss the war in Ukraine, and in conversations following the broadcast he mentioned a fellow he called “Gonzo Lira” and asked if I followed him. I indicated that I did not, and Alexander replied that I should, as “Gonzo” resided in Kharkov, and had some first-hand insights into the conflict that I might find interesting. Alexander asked if he could forward my contact information to Gonzo Lira, and I agreed.

I must admit that I did not follow up on Alexander’s recommendation to follow Gonzo and had forgotten about our conversation about Mr. Lira when, sometime in late March, I was suddenly contacted by the man himself, who asked if I would agree to be interviewed by him for his YouTube channel. I did a quick Google search, and read several items about Gonzalo Lira, AKA Coach Red Pill, including a particularly unflattering article written by Mark Hay of The Daily Beast. I quickly decided that if Gonzo was making The Daily Beast uncomfortable, then I was more than happy to be interviewed by him.

The setup for the interview, which took place on March 30, was informative in its own right. Alexander's colleague Alex Christoforou was providing technical assistance, and because of connectivity issues due to Gonzalo broadcasting from Kharkov (literally a war zone), the YouTube platform could not be accessed, and instead we shifted to Twitter Spaces (a somewhat ironic choice, given my later permanent suspension).

Beyond the obvious reality of broadcasting from a city under attack (air-raid sirens were sounding in the background during this time), Gonzalo expressed a clear concern that he was being sought out by the Ukrainian Security Service (SBU). I opined that perhaps broadcasting from Kharkov might not be the wisest decision under these circumstances, a concern echoed by Mr. Christoforou, but this was dismissed by Gonzalo. “I’m taking precautions,” he said, without further elaboration.

The Twitter Spaces session was enjoyable, with Gonzalo asking relevant questions and, in the true spirit of the journalist/interviewer, allowed me to answer without any undue commentary from his end – something so-called “professional” journalists in the mainstream media should do more often. According to Mr. Lira, it was “well received” by his followers.
