Content Creator Asks Followers for Help; Campaign Launched to Locate Isabella Castillo

A desperate plea is echoing across social media as content creator Marlene Ontiveros mobilizes her followers to help locate Isabella Castillo Saldívar, a 15-year-old girl who disappeared on July 23, 2026. Ontiveros, known for her comedy and lifestyle content, has repurposed her platforms for an urgent search, emphasizing the power of social media to reunite families.

"My social media accounts have always been used to make you laugh, but this time I will use them for you to help me and a family that is desperate for their daughter to return home," Ontiveros stated in a video message. She shared Isabella's photo and the official missing person bulletin, urging anyone with information to contact the provided number. Isabella was last seen leaving her home in Magdalena Contreras, Mexico City, and has not returned.

The influencer's appeal quickly gained traction, accumulating over 57,000 reactions in under 24 hours. The outpouring of support aims to amplify the official search bulletin issued by the Mexico City Attorney General's Office (FGJCDMX) in coordination with the National Registry of Missing Persons.

According to the bulletin, Isabella Castillo Saldívar is 15 years old, stands 1.57 meters tall, and has a distinctive gap in her front tooth. She was last seen wearing a red hooded sweatshirt with white stripes, light gray pants, and white sneakers with green and black details. She was also carrying a gray shoulder bag.

Ontiveros, a mother herself, expressed deep empathy for Isabella's family, stating, "As a mother, I cannot imagine the pain of not knowing where your child is." She stressed the importance of sharing the information to help find Isabella, highlighting her own recent experience as a victim of theft, which also led her to seek public support online.
