Overview

  • Relatives informally identified the 30-year-old from Chiapas, and authorities say the physical features match as DNA testing by the Comisión Nacional de Búsqueda continues.
  • She was last seen on June 15 in Venustiano Carranza, a missing-person report was filed on August 7, and her remains were found on August 14 inside an under-construction property.
  • Investigators, aided by a canine unit and the fire department, detected fresh cement at the site and uncovered her body embedded between two walls with rebar.
  • The partner, identified as Antonio “N” or “Toño,” who worked as a guard at the construction, is named the main suspect as an operation to locate him is underway.
  • Family members held a farewell in Chiapas and say a false account from the partner that she returned home delayed the filing of the disappearance as they call for his capture.
