Perla Alison, a young girl who vanished after going to buy candy near her home in Santa Martha Acatitla, has been found dead, days after a desperate search was launched under a nationwide Amber Alert.
Her body was discovered in an abandoned lot near a metro station, after a neighbor reported a foul smell. Authorities confirmed signs of violence, and a femicide investigation is underway.
The news has devastated the community. Outrage is pouring in online, with feminist and civil rights groups demanding swift justice. Heartbreak turned to horror as early reports suggest someone close to Perla—possibly even her own father—may be involved.
As the investigation unfolds, the public clings to one demand: accountability for whoever took this innocent life.
