MXCarlos Emilio Galván Valenzuela, a 21-year-old man from Durango, disappeared on October 5, 2025, at a bar in Mazatlán, Sinaloa. His mother, Brenda Valenzuela, organized a textile-patching event to raise awareness and demand the authorities locate her son. According to family accounts, Carlos entered the bar 'Terraza Valentino' with two cousins and went to the restroom in the early morning hours, after which he was never seen again. One cousin attempted to enter the restroom to search for him but was stopped by security personnel. The prosecution requested video footage from the venue, but incomplete recordings were provided, leading Brenda to suspect they had been edited or cut. The owner of the bar, Ricardo Velarde Cárdenas—alias 'El Pity Velarde'—was the secretary of Economy under then-governor Rubén Rocha Moya at the time of the disappearance. After the incident, Velarde had to resign from his position. The case was initially handled by the Sinaloa prosecutors but later transferred to the Federal Public Ministry (FGR). Brenda claims that 'El Pity' has not been questioned by any authority despite being a central figure in the investigation.
