On the trail of Debanhi Escobar: Authorities searched a farm and a cistern

The Attorney General's Office of the State of Nuevo León (FGJ) conducted a search on land near the Nueva Castilla Motel after a group of volunteers looking for Debanhi Escobar reported a suspicious cistern. On social networks, it transpired that the authorities appeared at kilometer 15.5 of the Monterrey-Nuevo Laredo highway after 11:30am, accompanied by the Monterrey Water and Drainage team and canine binomials.

The inspection was carried out after a volunteer reported that the water tank caught the group's attention because one of the dogs supporting the search was restless in that area. Today a team inspected the land and drained all the liquid from the well with the help of a hose system.

The results of the investigation rule out the presence of any Debanhi trace in the cistern. During the tour to the site, red spots were allegedly found, but so far it has not been specified whether it is blood. In addition to this search, there are two more previously carried out in nearby places.

The inspection at Condominios Constitución took place after the authorities were informed that Debanhi's belongings could be in one of the departments. Previously, a review was also carried out at the facilities of the company Alcosa Transportes Internacional, where recordings revealed that the law student entered after getting off the car in which she was traveling on the road to Ladero.

Track tracking continues and Gustavo Adolfo Guerrero, head of the state's FGJ, stated during an interview with INFO7 that so far 40 videos have been analyzed and approximately 70 people have been made, including friends of Debanhi and employees of companies located in the vicinity of the road where it was last seen.

Alerts have also been issued throughout Mexico and investigations have been carried out in various parts of the country where possible leads to the case have been reported, in the states of Tamaulipas, Durango and Baja California Norte.

Regarding the main witnesses in the case, he assured that the driver of the vehicle where the young woman was traveling and the friends with whom she attended a party on April 8 are located and have shown a willingness to collaborate.

According to the FGJ, 90% of missing persons in Nuevo León are located within 72 hours while a smaller percentage are found within five days. Debanhi Escobar has been missing for 11 days, however Guerrero stated that the Prosecutor's Office is confident that the 18-year-old girl is alive.

It is worth mentioning that since the cases of Debanhi and María Fernanda Contreras went viral, Samuel García has announced various actions to speed up the resolution of reports of disappearance. Recently, at the presentation of the new head of the Women's Secretariat, Samuel García, governor of Nuevo León, revealed that he will present a plan against the disappearance of women.

During her participation in the press conference, she assured that they are “entering fully, head-on and without hesitation” to the prevention of gender-based violence and attention to cases of women reported missing. It should be noted that there are more than 1,700 unlocated women in the entity, according to information released by the organization United Forces for Our Disappeared in Nuevo León (FUNDENL).
