Missing persons reports in Latin America

Overview

Authorities and families across Latin America are conducting urgent searches for several missing individuals.

In Argentina, a search continues for 16-year-old Zoe Ximena Carneiro Farias, who disappeared on September 1 after being dropped off at a school in La Rioja. Her father reported she did not enter classes, and her last communication was a text message at 14:30 that day.

In Mexico, several cases remain active. In Quintana Roo, the Fiscalía General del Estado has issued an Amber Alert for 7-month-old Fernanda Rodríguez Ochoa, missing from Cancún since August 29, and an alert for 51-year-old Berzain Gómez Castellano, last seen on August 31 in Xul-Ha. Additionally, 47-year-old Dora Gutiérrez Castro has been missing from Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua, since August 30.

Regarding the disappearance of Karen “N” and her two children (ages 3 and 5) in La Paz, Baja California Sur, on September 1, a related development occurred involving a 16-year-old girl. Authorities in La Paz rescued the teenager from a boat near El Mogote after she used an online game to send a plea for help. She reported being isolated and physically abused by her father. Following a coordinated effort between the State Criminal Investigation Agency and the Fourth Naval Zone, the minor was reunited with her mother, and the State Attorney General's Office is investigating.

In Paraguay, the Ministerio Público is searching for 37-year-old Claudia Beatriz Riquelme Sánchez, a graphic designer and musician, who has been missing from Luque since August 31.

In Costa Rica, authorities are seeking 13-year-old Nahomy Walker Hernández after she reportedly escaped a shelter in Limón.
