Death of activist Marlen Vázquez Saavedra

Overview

Marlen Vázquez Saavedra, a 37-year-old environmental activist, archaeologist, and real estate agent, was reported missing after failing to arrive at a destination in Valle de Guadalupe. Her body was later discovered in a ravine along the Ensenada-Tijuana highway near her vehicle.

Following an investigation by the State Attorney General's Office (FGE), authorities arrested Jonathan Paul for the femicide.

He reportedly then reported her disappearance to authorities in an attempt to mislead investigators. The official cause of death was determined to be mechanical asphyxia by strangulation.
