CIUDAD JUÁREZ, Chih. – Evelyn Ramírez Esparza, 15, has once again been reported missing in Ciudad Juárez. According to the Specialized Prosecutor’s Office for Women Victims of Crime Due to Gender and Family, she escaped from DIF personnel on September 27. This marks the second time the teenager has been reported missing this month.
Previous Disappearance and Reappearance
Evelyn was initially reported missing on September 15. She was later located and even appeared in a video circulated on social media, stating that she was well and had voluntarily left her family. Following her discovery, she was placed under the care of DIF facilities for monitoring and evaluation.
Mother Notified Through Social Media
Griselda Esparza González, Evelyn’s mother, expressed her distress in an interview with Telemundo 48 El Paso. She recounted how family, friends, and community members assisted in the initial search. However, she was not officially notified of her daughter’s second disappearance by authorities. Instead, she learned about it through social media posts.
“I found out through a Facebook post,” Esparza González stated, highlighting her concern over the lack of direct communication from the authorities responsible for her daughter’s care.
Concerns Regarding Case Management
The mother indicated that she was later informed that the teenager had left the facilities where she was being held. During the interview, Esparza González also questioned the handling of the case by some authorities. She expressed apprehension about individuals who, she suspects, might be influencing her daughter, though she could not disclose further details while Evelyn remains missing.
Public Plea for Assistance
With tears in her eyes, Griselda Esparza González sent a message to Evelyn and implored the community for any information that could help locate her daughter. “I ask that any detail, even the smallest, be brought to my attention,” she pleaded.
According to the search warrant, Evelyn is approximately 1.54 meters tall, weighs 50 kilograms, has a slender build, fair complexion, light brown, straight, and long hair, and dark brown eyes. A distinctive feature is a small mole on the right side of her neck.
Ongoing Investigation and Search Efforts
The Prosecutor’s Office reported that the investigation file is being handled by the Unit for Missing Persons of the Specialized Prosecutor’s Office for Women Victims of Crime Due to Gender and Family in the Northern Zone. Additionally, it was noted that agents from the Public Ministry and elements of the State Investigation Agency (AEI) are coordinating search efforts to locate the minor.
The public is urged to contact 911, 089, or the authorities responsible for the search if they have any information regarding her whereabouts.
