Overview
- The Nuevo León attorney general's office began a coordinated operation at 7 a.m. Friday with more than 100 personnel searching around the Monterrey airport and into neighboring Pesquería.
- Security chief Omar García Harfuch confirmed federal support for the state-led investigation and said the last confirmed visual contact showed Leonardo Escobar wandering and disoriented.
- State authorities report he returned to the airport after release and that a suitcase linked to him was found there, while investigators work to reconstruct his movements.
- Escobar was detained on December 31 by the National Guard for administrative offenses, held about 36 hours before release on January 2, yet the university says no entry appears in the National Detention Registry and consular notification is missing.
- Students, faculty, and administrators at Ibero Puebla marched in Puebla City demanding clear, verifiable information and access to detention and exit videos from Apodaca police.
