A heartbreaking tragedy has shaken the Santa Martha Acatitla neighborhood. Little Perla Alison, who vanished after asking permission to buy candy from a nearby store, was found lifeless days later.
The discovery was made near the Constitución de 1917 metro station, where a neighbor noticed a foul odor coming from an abandoned building and called 911. Authorities quickly sealed off the area, and forensic teams from the Mexico City Attorney General’s Office confirmed the worst fears.
According to investigators, Perla’s body showed clear signs of violence, prompting the immediate opening of a femicide investigation. Early findings suggest she may have suffered abuse before her death, though the final autopsy will determine the exact cause.
The case, which has already triggered a nationwide Amber Alert and mobilized citizen search brigades, now stands as another chilling reminder of the dangers faced by vulnerable children.
