Perla Alison, a young girl from the Santa Martha Acatitla neighborhood, was last seen leaving her home to visit a nearby store. She had simply asked her family for permission to buy some candy — but she never came back. Since that moment, a nationwide Amber Alert ignited a relentless search, uniting authorities and community members alike in the desperate hunt for her.
Tragically, the search ended near the Constitución de 1917 metro station, where a neighbor, disturbed by a strong, foul odor emanating from an abandoned lot, alerted emergency services. Responding officers from the Secretariat of Citizen Security (SSC) swiftly secured the scene, and forensic teams from the Mexico City Attorney General’s Office recovered Perla Alison’s body.
Preliminary reports from the Prosecutor’s Office reveal disturbing signs of violence, leading investigators to open a formal femicide case. Early evidence suggests she may have suffered abuse before her untimely death, though the autopsy results will provide the definitive cause.
The heartbreaking news has sent shockwaves through the community and across social media, where thousands followed her story with hope and urgency. Feminist groups and civil rights organizations are now calling for swift justice and the harshest penalties for those responsible, demanding accountability in a case that has deeply stirred public outrage.
