Overview
- Jessica Benítez, 18, was last heard from late Tuesday afternoon when she told her mother “ya vuelvo” and did not return home or answer messages.
- Her mother filed a missing-person report at Comisaría Vecinal 13C and the Fiscalía Nacional en lo Criminal y Correccional Nº4 requested police begin an official search.
- Friends reported conflicting last movements—one acquaintance said he saw her enter the school and then walk toward Avenida Los Incas while her best friend said Jessica had planned to go to the Barrio Chino.
- Family and supporters are sharing flyers and a tip line (+54 9 11 3197-6151) on social media after unusual post-disappearance digital activity, when Jessica read messages, blocked a contact and closed her Instagram account.
- Authorities stress there is no legal waiting period to start searches and investigators are treating the case with urgency because Jessica was recently diagnosed with borderline personality disorder, was not medicated and had a prior overdose.
