The case has been seen as an example of the double crisis of sexist violence and disappearances in Mexico, where more than 10 women are murdered a day and there are more than 99,000 people who have not been located since 1964, according to government figures.

So far this year, just the state of New Lion has registered a wave of disappearances with at least thirty women still unaccounted for.
