Alejandra Quintos, the mother of Dafne Zapata Quintos, is using Facebook to search for a woman she says is allegedly involved in her daughter’s killing. Quintos said the woman, known as Estrellita, is hiding in Pueblo Viejo, in northern Veracruz.

Estrellita is in Pueblo Viejo, Veracruz. Call 911 and report her.

· Alejandra QuintosQuintos urged the public to report the woman’s alleged location.

"Estrellita is in Pueblo Viejo, Veracruz. Call 911 and report her," Quintos wrote in one of her first posts. In another message, she shared a photograph and identified the woman as Estrellita Mora, saying she was a fugitive and might be staying in Pueblo Viejo with someone named Carmen.

The appeal prompted users to say they had already called 911 and to share Quintos’s request, hoping the woman would be located and detained. But the posts also triggered warnings that publishing the alleged location could alert her.

Urgent! If you have any information about Estrellita Mora, call 911 so they can locate her. She is a fugitive and is believed to be in Pueblo Viejo, Veracruz, with Carmen. Share urgently. Justice for Dafne.

· Alejandra QuintosQuintos accompanied a photograph with an expanded appeal for information.

"Don’t say where she is, she’ll run away. You’re warning her and she’ll move somewhere else," one user wrote. Another commenter expressed sympathy for Quintos but advised her to seek local contacts who could keep watch until authorities issued a formal arrest warrant.

Don’t say where she is, she’ll run away. You’re warning her and she’ll move somewhere else.
