HBO Max Releases Four-Part Debanhi Escobar Docuseries With Unseen Evidence

Debanhi’s parents lead the project to air new material, funding independent forensics to press an investigation that remains unresolved.

Overview

  • The Max Original series, titled “Debanhi: ¿Quién mató a nuestra hija?”, premiered on September 18 on HBO Max across Latin America.
  • The production spans four episodes and includes previously unreleased surveillance recordings, testimonies and archival material.
  • Parents Mario Escobar and Dolores Bazaldúa appear on camera to reconstruct events and say production payments are being used to finance new peritajes.
  • An independent opinion cited in the series, from Dr. Felipe Edmundo Takahashi Medina, found elements pointing to asphyxia by suffocation, contradicting early official accounts of a fatal fall or contusion.
  • Authorities have kept the case open without formally classifying it as feminicide, and the series situates the investigation within Mexico’s broader problem of violence against women and high impunity rates.
