Six teenagers aged 14 to 17, from Tamaulipas, Chihuahua, and Coahuila, were reported missing in Villahermosa, Tabasco, on December 24. Authorities activated the Amber Alert to aid the search following a report from the National Migration Institute. Their whereabouts remain unknown, along with the exact circumstances of the disappearance.
On December 24, around 2:32 p.m., six teenagers were last seen in Villahermosa, in Tabasco's Centro municipality. The youths, named Justin Joan Torres Vásquez (17), Jorge Emiliano Vega Narváez (17), Dilan Cain Herbert Sobrevilla (16), Miguel Rodríguez Estobar (16), Tadeo Gael Moreno Monreal (14), and Roberto Vázquez Arriaga (14), hail from states outside Tabasco, raising questions about their activities in the area.
Unofficial reports indicate the minors were under the custody of the National Migration Institute (INM). Upon noticing their absence, INM agents notified local authorities, prompting the swift issuance of search bulletins and activation of the Amber Alert.

Tabasco's State General Prosecutor's Office urges the public to share any information that could help locate the missing teens. Investigations proceed in collaboration with security forces, with no updates available yet.
This event highlights ongoing security concerns in the region. Tabasco has recorded 2,056 unresolved disappearances since 1952, per the National Registry of Missing or Disappeared Persons, making it the second-highest in the southeast after Veracruz.
