Perla Alison, who went missing last Friday after leaving home to buy candy in Santa Martha Acatitla, has been found dead. Her body was discovered Tuesday in an abandoned lot near the Constitución de 1917 metro station, following a four-day search. A neighbor alerted authorities after noticing a foul odor.
Police found Perla’s body with signs of violence, prompting a femicide investigation. Early evidence suggests physical and sexual abuse, though the autopsy will confirm the cause of death.
Perla’s disappearance had already sparked national concern. Her death has now ignited public outrage, with citizens and activists demanding justice and harsher protections for girls and women. Outside her home, neighbors have created a memorial of candles and flowers.
Her grieving family vows to fight until those responsible are brought to justice. Authorities continue to review security footage and ask the public for any information.
