In a brief statement issued on its X account, the Attorney General’s Office of the State of Sonora (FGJES) confirmed that Blanca Siomara Velázquez Rochin, the young woman illegally deprived of her liberty in Ciudad Obregón, was found safe and sound after the ALBA Protocol was activated. The institution indicated that, thanks to a coordinated operation between the three levels of government, it was possible to determine the whereabouts of the 28-year-old woman and explained that an investigation is underway to find those responsible.
Around 7:00 p.m. on Friday, August 8, the woman was kidnapped while standing in front of the Bugambilias Hotel, located on Allende Street, between Tlaxcala and Tabasco streets, by unknown individuals who forcibly forced her into a silver van. The moment was captured by a security camera in the area, and the video later began circulating on social media.
As a result of an intense search carried out by law enforcement agencies from all three levels of government in key areas of Ciudad Obregón, and the dissemination of the Alba Protocol identification card on social media and in the media, the woman was released and is now safe and sound with her family,” the statement published by the Sonora Prosecutor’s Office states.
Outrage over the violence in Cajeme
Once the news was confirmed, authorities activated a security protocol that brought together members of the Secretariat of the Navy (Semar), the National Guard, the State Public Security Police (PESP), and the Cajeme Municipal Police. At the same time, experts from the Ministerial Criminal Investigation Agency (AMIC) were tasked with completing the corresponding procedures and beginning the search for the young woman.
Search groups such as Searching Mothers of Ciudad Obregón and Searching Mothers of Sonora expressed their outrage over the case and requested the release of the victim in their respective spaces. Citizen support is needed to find Blanca Siomara, who has already been located and is now with her loved ones after experiencing this traumatic experience. For now, we await a report from the relevant authorities regarding those responsible for her kidnapping.
