**Mother of Germán Santoyo Urges Progress in Investigation of His Disappearance**
Following the disappearance of InDrive driver Germán Santoyo on August 22, his mother, Yolanda Toscano, has called on the State’s Attorney General’s Office (FGE) to expedite the investigation. The plea was made on the afternoon of September 3.
On the day he went missing, Santoyo left his grandmother’s house in Lomas del Jibarito driving his gray 2017 Volkswagen Passat with license plate C07NRT9. His last known communication came at 10:00 PM via a WhatsApp message in which he mentioned a trip from Cañón Las Palmeras to Fraccionamiento Los Altos.
“I’ve been shown footage traces, but I haven’t been granted access to the cameras yet. I ask for the FGE’s help to speed up the tracking of my son’s tablet,” stated Toscano.
The vehicle was abandoned in Valle Sur, an area covered by C4 surveillance cameras. Toscano has requested access to feeds from these cameras, as the last known use of the tablet was recorded there.
“The tablet used by my son was last reported to be in use, according to my daughter-in-law,” Toscano added. “InDrive is cooperating and has provided all the travel information. However, the location services appear to have been switched off. The last known location was Plaza Loma Bonita. He dropped off a young woman, and the car was later found near Motel Valle Sur.”
In response to her demands, Toscano was received by Alejandro López Reyes, the Special Units Prosecutor.
After the meeting, Toscano commented, “I know there are advancements. I’ve seen the footage traces, but they are not clear. The images have been sent to the informatics department to enhance the clarity and better understand what happened, as the vehicle was found there.”
She underscored the importance of the available footage but refrained from providing details to avoid disrupting the investigation process.
Toscano emphasized that she still has no information on her son’s whereabouts. “I trust the authorities’ work. They appear to be handling it well, and whatever needs to be done should be done,” she concluded.

The community of Tijuana remains on edge as two significant cases of disappearance unfold simultaneously. On the same day, news surfaced about the detention of two individuals involved in the disappearance of Servando Salazar. The inquiries suggest a possibility of more individuals being implicated.
These events follow the recent dismissals of 14 road inspectors for accepting bribes near border checkpoints. Such incidents have cast a long shadow over public trust in local law enforcement.
The urgency to solve these disappearance cases has been met with additional concerns regarding the judicial processes in the region. International commentary by figures such as Ken Salazar has highlighted the potential harm to US-Mexico relations if judicial reforms are not correctly handled. Meanwhile, the Mexican Congress is set to fast-track these reforms, complicating an already tense situation.
As multinational cooperation intensifies and the eyes of the public remain focused on these investigations, the authorities face mounting pressure to provide transparency and achieve timely resolutions in both ongoing cases. The hope remains that the combined efforts of local law enforcement and international observers will lead to breakthroughs, ensuring justice for the families affected.
