How outrageous! The family pointed out the exact location: the Prosecutor’s Office did nothing, and two days later, she was found dead in that same spot.
Edith Guadalupe, 21, left full of hope for a job interview in the Benito Juárez borough of Mexico City.
She didn’t vanish without a trace; before entering the building, she did what any daughter would do: she let her mother know she had arrived. That was her last message; after that, silence.
Her family reacted immediately; they didn’t wait hours or days, they went directly to the place where Edith said she was.
They knocked on doors, insisted, begged for help, and from that moment on, the institutional abandonment began.
They were told that nothing more could be done, that they couldn’t enter, and that they needed a warrant.
The family pointed to the building, again and again: “She’s inside!” But no one did anything; they tried to get security camera footage.
The response they received was absurd: that it was illegal, that they needed authorization.
Desperate, they went to the Public Prosecutor’s Office; There, the situation became even more grotesque.
According to their account, they were told, “If you give us 15,000 pesos, we’ll move quickly.” That’s how emergency services work, apparently. The family didn’t have that money, so they had to do the work that should have been done by the authorities.
A neighbor, with more humanity than the entire system combined, showed them a recording. There was the truth: Edith enters the building and never comes out. With that proof, they went back to ask for help.
The same thing happened again: “We can’t enter private property.” Meanwhile, their daughter was still there. The family stayed outside the building for two days, keeping vigil, waiting, hoping to see her come out, but it never happened.
Only when the case started circulating on social media, when the pressure mounted, when they could no longer ignore it, did the authorities finally arrive.
Then they entered and found Edith in the basement, inside a black bag; she had been there the whole time.
