**Primary Article: Missing Persons Search Intensifies in Central Zone**
Community efforts are ramping up in the Central Zone as search operations continue for three missing individuals: Yohana, Antonio, and Leslye. On Saturday, February 15, 2025, community groups “Operation Rescue Rodriguez” and “Natura Hope and Support” mobilized to aid mothers with missing children in the Eastern Zone and beyond, extending their search operations to connect with families as far away as Colombia.
From Bogotá, the family of 34-year-old Lizeth Yoana Henao Orjuela joined forces with the search collectives in hopes of her recovery. The last communication with Lizeth was a video call on July 4th before a job interview in Playas de Rosarito. Lizeth is described as having distinct features, including short black hair with bleached tips and several tattoos, notably a complete sleeve on her left arm and a minimalist tattoo saying “Emma 05-01-21” on her neck.
Lucero Jiménez also participated in the search by posting missing person posters, seeking any information on her daughter, Leslye Aguilar Jiménez, who was taken against her will on January 10, 2025, from their home in the Laurel II community. Lucero urgently called for any news of Leslye, who has short black hair, tattoos covering her body, and a piercing on her left cheek.
Mariana Jiménez Martínez continues her desperate search for her son, Antonio Rodriguez, last seen on June 17, 2024, in Villa del Real. Antonio has a tattoo of “664” on his arm and is missing a tooth. Mariana implores anyone with information to come forward so he’s not forgotten.
Local authorities, including the State General’s Office and the Search Commission, have been involved, but there’s been no significant progress. Posters continue to be distributed from Carrillo Puerto Street to Miguel Hidalgo Street, as families hope for a breakthrough.

The urgency around missing person cases in Baja California has gained attention as new findings come to light. Recently, the search in Tijuana uncovered skeletal remains, initially believed to belong to a missing Ensenada UABC student. Authorities are working to identify the remains and determine any connections to current missing person cases in the region.
Meanwhile, reports of rights violations against Colombians by migration officials in Tijuana have added a complex layer to ongoing searches. Disappearances and other troubling incidents are drawing scrutiny towards local law enforcement and agencies responsible for the safety and welfare of residents and immigrants alike. As public concern mounts, family members of missing individuals urge local authorities to expand their investigations across borders, emphasizing the importance of international cooperation to solve these heart-wrenching cases.
