Mexico City Teen Missing Since Sept. 2 Found Alive in Miguel Hidalgo

Preliminary findings indicate she was not the victim of a crime.

Overview

  • FGJCDMX said agents located 16-year-old María Isabella Orozco Lozano on Oct. 8 inside a residence with a person from her close circle.
  • She was transferred to the Fipede unit for medical evaluation and arrangements for her return to relatives.
  • Investigators from the FGJCDMX worked with the PDI and the city’s SSC to develop leads to her location.
  • Authorities say she left her Tlalpan home on the Carretera Federal a Cuernavaca, with later accounts placing her boarding an unmarked public bus after speaking with two people.
  • Her mother has criticized the process, citing a Sept. 9 missing-person report, delays in activating the Amber Alert, and a lag in analyzing the teen’s phone.
