10-Year-Old Perla Alison Found Dead After Four-Day Search in Mexico City
The body of Perla Alison, a 10-year-old girl who went missing in Santa Martha Acatitla, was found Tuesday evening in an abandoned lot near the Constitución de 1917 metro station. Her disappearance last Friday had triggered a nationwide Amber Alert and a widespread community search.
Perla had left home to buy candy but never returned. Her family quickly alerted authorities, and volunteers joined in, distributing flyers and sharing her photo on social media.
The grim discovery came when a neighbor reported a foul smell coming from a deserted area. Police arrived, and forensic teams later recovered Perla’s body, which showed clear signs of violence.
