Overview

• State prosecutors detained Gabriel Rafael “N”, 57, and Paulo Alberto “N”, 36, on warrants for desaparición cometida por particulares and transferred them to the Tlalnepantla penitentiary to await a judge’s decision.
• Investigators say surveillance video shows Kimberly, 16, leaving a cybercafé on Oct. 2 before one suspect intercepted her and directed her to a gray Volkswagen sedan driven by the other.
• A search of a workshop where Gabriel Rafael “N” worked recovered brown boots with apparent blood; genetic testing matched samples from Kimberly’s parents, and footage shows him wearing similar boots before the disappearance.
• Authorities continue active search operations and maintain the presumption that Kimberly may be alive, while the detained men have not provided her whereabouts.
• Officials dispelled viral misidentifications by confirming a widely shared video showed another woman identified as Dulce, as family and classmates press for answers through public appeals and demonstrations.
