HBO Max Documentary Revives Debanhi Escobar Case as Parents Press for Feminicide Probe

The four-part series, set for a September 18 debut, is framed by the family as a lever to spur action after years without identified suspects.

Overview

  • Debanhi: ¿Quién mató a nuestra hija? will premiere on HBO Max on September 18 as a four-episode Max Original.
  • Debanhi Escobar, 18, disappeared near Monterrey in 2022, and her body was found 13 days later in a motel water cistern.
  • The parents say authorities have not classified the case as feminicide and report that no culprits have been identified nearly three years on.
  • HBO Max and the family spent close to three years gathering CCTV footage, testimonies and other material while the official probe remains open.
  • Producers and relatives say the project seeks to raise public awareness in a country where impunity in feminicides exceeded 86% in 2022, according to México Evalúa.
