In a coordinated operation, while requesting the search warrant to the Obrera's house, the state prosecutor asked for the arrest warrant. Both were delivered. There was enough evidence, such as cell phone analysis that allowed them to assume that not only the American couple were in that location, but also another man who had disappeared in November, after arriving in the city to sell a car.
In the house lived the son-in-law of the López couple, Santiago Rizo Avelar, who is presumed innocent as long as his responsibility for the judicial authority is not clarified, according to Article 13 of the National Code of Criminal Procedures. He was arrested.
Now, relatives of María Guadalupe García Ramírez, 53, and Guillermo Cabezas Melgoza, 57, both of whom are missing, are waiting for information that indicates whether the bodies found in the Obrera are theirs.
María Guadalupe García García Ramírez's brother went to the FGE to file a complaint for the disappearance of January 20, but he had not known about it since December 3, 2019. The woman was renting in the same village where Santiago Rizo lived.
Neighbors of the place revealed that, indeed, they had not seen Guadalupe for months, in fact the last time they watched her walk with difficulty supported by a cane, and with signs of having been mistreated. Before, they said, it was common to see her pass by the street next to Santiago.
