One month after the disappearance of 16-year-old Kimberly Hilary Moya González, a student at CCH Naucalpan, Mexican state authorities have found no leads on her whereabouts. Two men have been detained as alleged co-authors, but they have not provided key information. The family demands that the search continue without pause.
Kimberly Hilary Moya González, 16 years old and a student at CCH Naucalpan, was last seen on October 2 walking along Filomeno Mata street, corner with Diagonal Minas, in the San Rafael Chamapa neighborhood, Naucalpan. According to the Attorney General's Office of the State of Mexico (FGJEM), Gabriel Rafael ‘N’, 57, ran toward the teenager and took her to a gray Sedan-type car parked on Diagonal Minas, driven by Paulo Alberto ‘N’, 36.
Both men were arrested on October 13 and linked to trial with justified preventive detention for their probable participation as functional co-authors in forced disappearance of persons and disappearance committed by individuals. They are currently imprisoned in Barrientos prison, in Tlalnepantla, but have not provided information to the Public Ministry about Kimberly's whereabouts. If found guilty, they would face 25 to 50 years in prison, a penalty that increases because the victim is an adolescent.
The search has extended to northern states, the U.S. border, and the southeast of the country. FGJEM experts have conducted DNA confrontations in other prosecutor's offices without positive results. In October, around 25 raids were carried out, covering beyond the block where the young woman lives; neighbors have collaborated by allowing the proceedings. "All her neighbors have collaborated in giving permission for the raid proceedings," detailed a source consulted by El Financiero. Daily field work has been done, security cameras reviewed, and interviews conducted with schoolmates and friends with whom she skates in Mexico City. "It is a complex investigation," the source acknowledged.
In a raid at Gabriel Rafael's workshop, brown boots with blood stains were found that matched the DNA of Kimberly's parents, indicating a high probability that they belong to the victim. The State of Mexico's Search Commission for Persons (COBUPEM) and its counterparts continue the efforts, which are state competence according to the source, although Kimberly's mother seeks to take the case to the Federal Attorney General's Office (FGR) for a possible federal crime and plans a protest at Mexico City's International Airport.
