The capital's Prosecutor's Office opened an investigation folder and is compiling videos of the area.
In one of them, recorded by a C5 camera (Centro de Comando, Control, Computación, Comunicaciones y Contacto Ciudadano de la ciudad), the parents say that
"you can see how someone approaches her and takes her away".
"He's a man
," the mother told the newspaper El Universal. Elizabeth, María Ángela's sister, said that in the images it can be seen that she does not leave "by her own feet from the whereabouts, they take her by the arm."
"[The video] only covers a space in the place where my sister disappears, in fact C5 is like this and you can only see her feet, we know it's her because they're the tennis shoes, later she moves a little and it's clearly seen that she's my sister," he added to Foro TV.
"He comes out from between the stalls and takes her away," the father told El País, complaining that some stalls are not collaborating with the authorities, who have asked them to provide the recordings from their cameras.
"They say they don't have images of that day, that the cameras don't work and others have removed the cameras they had installed," he said, "my daughter's life depends on those images."

In Indios Verdes, to the north of the capital, millions of people travel every day, since the metro, metrobus, cablebus, several bus routes and other vans converge there.
The missing young woman is a high school student and lives in the municipality of Ecatepec.
She is 1.52 meters tall, has dark eyes and semi-wavy black hair.
That day she was wearing navy blue jean pants, a gray shirt with letters on the front, white Adidas tennis shoes and she was carrying a black backpack with white letters.
She has a piercing in her nose and a piercing in her navel, a heart tattooed in red ink on her left wrist, and a letter K on her shoulder.
On her right thigh she has a scar from a dog bite, according to the search file of the Prosecutor's Office.
Relatives and friends demonstrated on Friday for the second consecutive day, blocking the Mexico-Pachuca highway, demanding that the Prosecutor's Office review all the videos and rescue the young woman alive, according to the SinEmbargo media outlet.
That same day, hundreds of people marched in the capital to demand the withdrawal of the 6,000 National Guard troops who patrol the subway.
The controversy over the deployment of this military body in the subway broke out on January 12, when the head of the Government of Mexico City, Claudia Sheinbaum, asked the federal Executive to have soldiers in stations and platforms after several incidents, as a crash that caused the death of an 18-year-old girl and a hundred injured;
the separation of two wagons;
and multiple cuts in the service: which Sheinbaum blamed on sabotage.
