Max Docuseries Revives Debanhi Escobar Case With New Audio and Claims of Days-Long Captivity

The new series reframes the investigation by challenging early official findings with material the family says points to a homicide.

Overview

  • The documentary presents a WhatsApp voice note attributed to Debanhi warning of a threatening atmosphere at the party on the night she disappeared.
  • It highlights the father's claim, based on an autopsy window placing death between April 14 and 18, that she was alive for five to eight days after April 9.
  • Later autopsies requested by the family and cited by the federal prosecutor’s office concluded sexual violence and death by asphyxia, contradicting Nuevo León’s initial accident finding.
  • The series’ rollout on Max began September 18 with weekly episodes through October 10, fueling renewed public scrutiny and calls for accountability.
  • Despite legal action against two former Motel Nueva Castilla employees for alleged cover-up and false statements, no perpetrator has been publicly identified for the killing.
