Family Blocks Constituyentes to Press SSPC in Search for Missing Hiker Ana Amelí

The demonstration reflects two months without answers despite extensive searches.

Overview

  • Relatives and supporters blocked both directions of Avenida Constituyentes outside SSPC offices, starting around 12:30 and lifting near 14:00 after officials received Ana Amelí’s mother.
  • Vanessa Gámez said there have been 60 days without results and alleged roughly 300 hours of surveillance were reviewed with no advances and omissions in search protocols.
  • Protesters urged federal intervention in the case as they marched to the SSPC headquarters from the nearby intersection of Constituyentes and Avenida de las Torres.
  • Authorities report ongoing inquiries that include interviews by the Policía de Investigación, and the city’s search commissioner said it remains unconfirmed whether she ascended with someone.
  • Ana Amelí, 19, disappeared on July 12 after heading up Pico del Águila alone, with her last message sent between 16:00 and 17:00, and initial sweeps with more than 100 personnel, drones, helicopters and K9s yielded no trace.
