The attorney Irving Barrios Mojica said that: “concerning the homicide of Ms. Miriam, officers of the Investigation Police and Public Prosecutor have relevant progress which will allow concrete results during the next days; we do not venture to communicate them for the time being, given the nature of the investigations.”

The perpetrators were described as persons with previous criminal records, “this was established thanks to the investigations, the intelligence report and, above all, the technical mechanisms, mainly the systems of video surveillance and C4 cameras.”

This Tuesday an homage to Miriam will take place in San Fernando with the presence of her family, government officials, and members of the Citizen Community in Search of the Disappeared in Tamaulipas group.
