Debanhi Escobar’s father would take legal action against those who publicly leaked certain videos of his daughter’s footsteps before she was reported missing.
Mario Escobar questioned in a press conference this Thursday the disclosure of at least three videos from security cameras.
In one of the recordings, Debanhi and her friends are seen buying alcohol in a store; other images show them arriving by taxi at the fifth “El Diamante”, where they entered a party; and another recording shows the girl struggling with a boy after leaving the activity.
In an interview given by the law student’s friends, they mentioned that before Debanhi left the space alone in a taxi, the young woman would have bitten a boy who tried to control her when she ran out of the place . Other people also followed her in an alleged attempt to convince her to calm down.
In Mario Escobar’s opinion, these videos should not have been leaked since they re-victimize everyone who appears in the images. “Not just my daughter, we are talking about all the people, not just my daughter,” said the Mexican. The man claimed to be unaware of these videos and that he had not seen them, but added that the state attorney general, Gustavo Adolfo Guerrero, was supposedly aware of their publication.
According to Escobar, the Prosecutor’s Office will proceed against the officials who could have leaked these videos, since the images are part of the investigation folder.
“ This constitutes a crime that warrants imprisonment, and everyone who is responsible must be prosecuted, whether they are the media or personnel who had them under their protection as part of the chain of custody,” Escobar said.
In other videos that the Prosecutor’s Office released on Wednesday with the approval of Debanhi’s family, the young woman is seen walking on the so-called “highway of death” from Nuevo Laredo to Monterrey in the direction of the Alcosa company.
In other images Debanhi is seen practically running to the Nueva Castilla motel and then when he looks out a glass door istal of the cafeteria of the place.
The Prosecutor’s Office circulated the images in part to show that there was no person chasing Debanhi that night.
The girl’s parents suspect that she was a victim of sexual assault.
The investigation of the authorities also seeks to determine if the young woman accidentally fell into the cistern or if it was a murder.
