After 13 days of searching, the law student’s body was found decomposing in the cistern of a motel in the city of Monterrey.
In an exclusive interview with Independent en Español, translated from Spanish to English, the heartbroken father says: “I can’t explain it to you. In short, I am devastated. It is very difficult for the family, but we are fighting to preserve the dignity, the name and to find justice for my daughter.”
