In just seven seconds, a man grabbed María Ángela Olguín Bustamante by the arm and took her away while her mother was in the bathroom in Indios Verdes. The 16-year-old girl tells the police that they took her to a place where there were other girls.


A video from the security cameras of the Mexico City police published by a local media this Monday reveals the moment in which María Ángela Olguín Bustamante, 16, was kidnapped by a man outside a subway and bus station in the north of the Mexican capital last week.

The brief recording revealed by the journalist Carlos Jiménez in the Telediario newspaper shows how in a matter of just seven seconds a man grabs the arm of the minor, who was waiting for her mother outside the bathrooms, and takes her behind some parked vans of public transport.

The two of them go out of focus and it is not clear where the subject leads her next.

Olguín's mother, Rocío Bustamente, said she heard her daughter yell "Amaaa!" and that when she left the restroom to see what was happening, the young woman was no longer there.

As Bustamante explained in an interview with the newspaper El País, her daughter told her that someone had bugged her at the Hidalgo metro station, some 20 minutes before she arrived at the public toilets of the Indios Verdes bus stop, where they kidnapped her.

“At that moment I checked his arm but everything was normal.

We came talking, we went out, we got to the bathrooms and then I don't understand what happened why that guy took her, ”she told that medium.

The Mexico City Prosecutor's Office is investigating the possibility that Olguín could have been injected with some toxic substance.

Olguín felt disoriented after the abduction, but reported that her kidnapper kept her immobilized along with other girls who were also tied up in a room, according to an interview with the newspaper El Universal, the director of the Nezahualcóyotl police, who interviewed the young when they found her alive, 48 hours later, in that municipality in the State of Mexico, more than 12 miles (20 kilometers) from where she disappeared.

"What she says is that there were more minors there, she does not say where, she is obviously disoriented. There were more people, girls, young people, women," the police officer told El Universal.

The same weekend that Olguín was abducted, two other young people were reported missing in the same area of ​​the Gustavo A. Madero mayor's office: Tonatzin Blanco, 11, and Gabriela Giselle Cabrera, 14.

Both were found alive.

Police are investigating whether the events could have been related.

Olguín, who disappeared on Thursday, was found alive on Saturday in a garbage dump in the State of Mexico, among cardboard, bottles and disused mechanical games.

She was bound hand and foot, wrapped in a plastic bag, and had injuries.

The case occurs at a time when the Mexican capital and federal authorities have deployed the National Guard, after possible sabotage and attacks were reported.

But Olguín's disappearance has unleashed a wave of complaints on social networks from women who say they have been assaulted for gender reasons, and even some who denounced kidnapping attempts.

The authorities of Mexico City ruled out on Monday that there is a mafia dedicated to the kidnapping of girls and adolescents in the subway.

“It is important to mention that the Public Ministry has not documented any similar case in that area and there is no record of crimes related to the absence of girls, women or adolescents in the vicinity of the Indios Verdes modal transfer center or convergence zones. ”, said the spokesman for the Prosecutor's Office, Ulises Lara.

"It is of fundamental importance to point this out so that citizens do not pay attention to rumors spread about the presence of a gang or criminal group that operates in the area with this modus operandi," he added.
