MXSix young people disappeared in Puerto Vallarta and Guadalajara between June 25th and 30th, shortly before or after attending their school graduation ceremonies. The Jalisco Prosecutor’s Office is investigating whether they were forcibly recruited by organized crime, citing national alerts and collaboration requests with neighboring states' prosecutors. On June 25th, three individuals aged 14 to 18 vanished while waiting for public transportation after their graduation. Authorities have dismissed claims that the disappearances were voluntary, citing evidence pointing toward forced recruitment. On June 30th, three more teenagers aged 14 to 15 disappeared after attending a graduation ceremony at a technical high school. According to state prosecutors, the missing youths reportedly told a classmate they would be taken to work in the mountains for three months, and the mother of one received a message asking her to pray for them.
