Colombian woman reported missing in Mexico found dead after traffic accident

Authorities in Mexico are investigating the death of Mónica Núñez Marín, a Colombian national who was reported missing on July 5. Her body was found nearly ten days later, with initial findings suggesting her death was linked to a traffic accident. Núñez Marín, 38, had been residing in Mexico for approximately one year.

The last confirmed contact from Núñez Marín was a video call with a relative in Spain around 4 a.m. on July 5. During the call, she was reportedly traveling in a vehicle with three unidentified individuals. Shortly after this call, she posted a concerning message on social media, asking for her daughter in Colombia to be cared for if anything happened to her. This was the last communication received before she disappeared.

An extensive search operation was launched, involving Colombian and Mexican authorities, and an Interpol Yellow Notice was issued for Núñez Marín. She was last known to be in Cerro del Judío, Mexico City, after meeting a friend named Samantha. She had requested a ride-sharing service to return home. The investigation is ongoing, with authorities examining all available clues to determine the exact circumstances surrounding her death.
