Missing Teacher Found Dead in Nextlalpan Drainage Canal in State of Mexico

Relatives located the 33-year-old educator during a community search, sharpening scrutiny of a canal previously linked to other recoveries.

Overview

  • He disappeared on November 18 after a 5:40 p.m. phone call with his father, and his red Volkswagen Crossfox was later found near Paseos del Valle by relatives.
  • Family members and local search brigades descended to the canal’s edge and discovered the body, then notified authorities after a state search bulletin had been issued.
  • The discovery occurred at the same canal where priest Ernesto Baltazar Hernández Vilchis was found weeks earlier, reinforcing concerns about the site.
  • Residents and search collectives say the drainage route draws flows from multiple municipalities and fear it is being used to dump victims, as separate human remains were also reported in Tultitlán this week.
  • Students and parents held a tribute at the Octavio Paz primary school, and the teacher was buried in his hometown of Melchor Ocampo.
