Oaxaca Opens Amber Alert and Trafficking Probe in Newborn’s Disappearance

Investigators consider possible illegal adoption within the family.

Overview

  • State prosecutors activated an Amber Alert and a search for a one-month-old boy after relatives filed a complaint Tuesday, opening case 8338/UETP/2026 under the anti‑trafficking unit.
  • The main line of inquiry is human trafficking in the form of an illegal adoption that may involve relatives and a third party, according to the Oaxaca attorney general’s office.
  • Preliminary intelligence alleges the mother handed the baby to pay a debt, a claim under review that authorities have not confirmed.
  • The infant was last seen March 23 in the Donají agency of Oaxaca de Juárez, which heightens risk for a newborn who needs regular feeding and medical care.
  • A multidisciplinary team is running intelligence and field searches to find the child and identify suspects, and the alert includes three photos and hotlines 800 00 77 62 and 8951 164 64 34 for tips.
