The search for Ana Ameli in Tlalpan continues without results

Desperation grows after two weeks without a trace of the young woman, despite operations with military and citizen support.

Operation intensified in the Ajusco reserve

VILLAHERMOSA, Tabasco.- Fourteen days after the disappearance of Ana Ameli García, 19 years old, the authorities redoubled their efforts in a new search operation in the forested area of Ajusco, within the Tlalpan mayor’s office. Specialized personnel from the Secretariat of National Defense (Sedena), agents from the Mexico City Police and civilian volunteers inspected the ecological reserve for more than five hours, without obtaining concrete indications about the whereabouts of the young woman.

Context and development of the case

The investigation dates back to July 12, when Ana Ameli was captured by the cameras of the Control, Command, Communications and Computing Center (C5) entering the hiking area. Since then, three days of tracking have been carried out, the last one standing out for the incorporation of military personnel. According to official sources, this reinforcement responds to the complexity of the terrain and the need to cover inaccessible areas with geolocation technology.

During the operation, objects such as women’s clothing and an abandoned vehicle were found, although forensic tests ruled out their connection with the case. Ana Ameli’s mother, Vanessa García, coordinated part of the search and expressed her anguish at the lack of progress: “Every hour without news is torture,” she told the press.

Implications and challenges in research

Criminology experts point out that the first 15 days are critical in cases of disappearance. The capital’s Attorney General’s Office has prioritized three lines of investigation: accident, voluntary loss or intervention of third parties. However, the absence of witnesses and the weather conditions in the reserve – with persistent fog and irregular trails – have slowed down the investigations.

Civil organizations such as Buscadoras CDMX have criticized the delay in activating specialized protocols, while the family insists on expanding media coverage. “We need more eyes to see his photo,” demanded an uncle of the victim during a press conference.

Call to action and next steps

The authorities confirmed that the searches will continue with drones and canine units in an expanded perimeter. At the same time, the telephone line 55-5658-1111 was enabled to receive anonymous information. Psychologists from the Prosecutor’s Office provide support to the family, whose pain is reflected in the nightly vigils in front of the main entrance to Ajusco.

This case revives the debate about security in urban natural areas. Data from the National Citizen Observatory reveal that, in 2025, 68% of disappearances in open spaces occurred during recreational activities.

Link your cell line before December: CRT

Nearly 79 million lines still unlinked; The deadline expires in December.

The clock is ticking for mobile phone users

The Telecommunications Regulatory Commission (CRT) warns against waiting until the last minute to link the cell phone line with digital banking. Otherwise, you risk losing access to banking platforms.

The organization ruled out a scenario of chaos, since more lines are registered every day. However, the deadline expires next December. At the end of the first week of July, 65 million 268 thousand 433 lines were already linked. There are 79 million missing, although it will be seen how many are out of use.

The Bank of Mexico (Banxico) promotes the reduction of cash use by standardizing payments through apps, regardless of the credit institution. Mexico follows the global trend of turning each cell phone into a bank branch, in line with the digital financial inclusion strategy.

The key is to act now: linking the line avoids setbacks and ensures access to digital financial services.

UN-DH renews support for families in Ayotzinapa

UN-DH reiterates support for victims; Amnesty International points out flaws in the CNDH recommendation.

International commitment and criticism

The Office in Mexico of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights (UN-DH) ratified its commitment to continue accompanying the families and victims of the Ayotzinapa case in the search for truth and justice.

Through an official statement, the organization indicated that it will maintain its active contribution to the federal investigations into the forced disappearance of the 43 students of the “Raúl Isidro Burgos” Rural Normal School, which occurred in Iguala, Guerrero, in September 2014.

The UN-DH recognized the contributions of international technical assistance and the work of civil organizations that have provided legal and human advice to the parents of the normalistas since the beginning of the judicial process.

In parallel, Amnesty International (AI) expressed its deep concern about the actions of the National Human Rights Commission (CNDH) after the issuance of Recommendation 208VG/2026.

The organization accused that said document supports the official actions of the State instead of conducting an objective investigation into serious violations of human rights. Furthermore, he considered that it delegitimizes the work of the Interdisciplinary Group of Independent Experts (GIEI).

AI described it as alarming that the CNDH disclaims responsibility to the Secretariat of National Defense (Sedena) arguing a lack of evidence against it. The organization recalled that there are at least 17 military elements linked to criminal proceedings for their probable relationship with the disappearance of the young people, and noted that the Armed Forces have imposed transparency obstacles and refusals to provide key information about the events in Iguala.

Eight arrested for murder of journalist Roxana Guzmán

Eight arrested for the murder of journalist Roxana Guzmán in Veracruz.

The Mexican government reported the arrest of eight people linked to the deprivation of life of Veracruz journalist Roxana Guzmán Ramírez, which occurred on July 2. The Secretary of Security, Omar García Harfuch, reported on the progress in the investigation during the morning conference of President Claudia Sheinbaum.

“In the Mexican government there will be no impunity for those who attack the lives of journalists, nor for those who seek to violate the right to freedom of expression through the abuse of a public office or members of a criminal organization. The president’s instruction is to fully clarify the facts, guarantee justice for Roxana Guzmán and her family and arrest all the people responsible for this crime,” she declared.

Advances in the Roxana Guzmán case

García Harfuch thanked the coordination with the governor of Veracruz, Rocío Nahle. He explained that through intelligence work—led by the naval intelligence unit—it was possible to identify those responsible and execute arrest warrants.

Among those detained are José del Carmen “N” and Karen Monserrat, as well as four members of the municipal police, accused of depriving the journalist of her freedom. Subsequently, Luis Arturo “N”, alias “Delta 11”, was captured as allegedly responsible for the homicide, and Javier Iván “N”, alias “Delta 1”, also implicated. The other detainees are Ismael “N”, Juan Carlos “N”, Luis Enrique “N” and José Manuel “N”.

The Veracruz Prosecutor’s Office confirmed that the remains found during the proceedings correspond to the communicator. In a statement, he noted: “It was established that the expert opinions concluded the identification process and scientifically confirmed that the remains located during the proceedings correspond to the journalist, a fact that strengthens the investigation.”

Roxana Guzmán was deprived of her liberty on June 2 in the south of Veracruz. A video broadcast on the networks showed two hooded individuals knocking on the door of their home with a sledgehammer and taking it away by force. His case shocked the journalistic union and reinforced demands for justice in the face of violence against journalists in Mexico.
