Debanhi Escobar was an 18-year-old law student in Mexico who disappeared on April 9, 2022, after a night out with friends; her body was found nearly two weeks later in an abandoned motel's cistern, sparking outrage and raising concerns over the country's ongoing femicide crisis. The case drew significant media attention and public outcry, highlighting systemic issues in the handling of missing persons and violence against women in Mexico.
