Esmeralda Ferrer Garibay and Family Found in Truck as Investigators Zero In on Nearby Mechanic’s Shop

Prosecutors now focus on workshop evidence plus the husband’s business ties, with witness abductions complicating the probe.

Overview

  • Authorities say the four victims were discovered on Aug. 22 wrapped in plastic inside a pickup in Guadalajara’s San Andrés neighborhood.
  • Prosecutors report ballistic and blood indications suggest the family was likely killed at or near a mechanic’s workshop, with forensic confirmations still pending.
  • Investigators traced part of the vehicle’s route to that workshop, where three workers were detained for questioning and later released for lack of evidence.
  • After giving statements, several people linked to the shop were intercepted by armed men, with three abducted and one escaping, according to prosecutor accounts.
  • Officials are examining the husband’s vehicle-trading and agricultural business activities as a principal line of inquiry, while the victim’s influencer profile is not being treated as the primary factor.
