Ana Amelí García Gámez, a 19-year-old biology student from the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM), has been missing since July 12, 2025, after ascending Pico del Águila in the Ajusco mountain area of Mexico City. Authorities including the Mexico City Attorney General's Office, the Search Commission, and the Secretariat of Citizen Security have deployed coordinated search operations involving over 900 personnel in the forested region of the Tlalpan borough. Despite extensive efforts by rescue brigades and support from local communities, no trace of Ana Amelí has been found. Her family, particularly her mother Vanessa Gámez, has actively sought assistance from government officials, including a public appeal to Mexico City President Claudia Sheinbaum at Palacio Nacional. The family has also requested federal intervention from the Mexican Army (SEDENA) and Navy (SEMAR) to intensify the search. Meanwhile, feminist collectives, friends, and UNAM faculty have organized marches and called for academic collaboration in the search efforts. After more than ten days, search teams are considering the possibility that Ana Amelí may have left the mountain area, as initial leads suggesting she remained there are being exhausted. The case continues to draw public attention as authorities maintain active investigations and search operations.
