A young girl, Perla Alison, went missing after leaving her home in the Santa Martha Acatitla neighborhood to buy candy at a nearby store. When she didn’t return, her family reported her disappearance, triggering a nationwide Amber Alert and a large-scale search by authorities and community volunteers.
Days later, her body was discovered in an abandoned building near the Constitución de 1917 metro station. A local resident had reported a strange odor coming from the site, prompting police to investigate. The area was quickly secured, and forensics teams recovered the remains.
Authorities confirmed that Perla showed signs of violence, and a formal investigation for suspected femicide has been launched. While initial evidence suggests possible abuse, officials await autopsy results to determine the exact cause of death.
The heartbreaking news has sparked widespread grief and outrage, especially across social media where the case gained significant attention. Advocacy groups and citizens are now calling for justice and for stronger protections for vulnerable children across the country.
