They traveled to Veracruz and did not return: the case of the disappearance of Eusebio and Guillermina that authorities have not been able to clarify | INTERVIEW
The article discusses the unresolved case of Eusebio Nolasco Joaquín and Guillermina López Rivera, who vanished in Veracruz under suspicious circumstances linked to potential organized crime involvement.
In southern Veracruz, the story of Eusebio Nolasco Joaquín, 59, and Guillermina López Rivera, 56, has remained suspended for eight months since their mysterious disappearance. The couple, originally from San Juan Bautista Tuxtepec, Oaxaca, went missing on January 18, 2025, while en route to finalize the sale of land in Nueva Esperanza, Ciudad Isla, Veracruz. Their seamless departure quickly turned into a nightmare when they were reported missing hours later.
Investigations into their disappearance have focused on organized crime, particularly the involvement of a criminal group known as Los Piñas, which is associated with the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG). This case is one among many in the southern region of Veracruz, where organized crime has been a significant concern. As time passes, the authorities face increasing pressure to uncover what happened to the couple, but their fate remains uncertain.
Eight months into the investigation, questions continue to linger: Where are Eusebio and Guillermina? The proportional rise in violent crime related to organized gangs in the area suggests that their disappearance may be a part of a larger pattern of violence affecting the community. Families of victims are left in despair as they seek justice and accountability from authorities who struggle to respond effectively to the burgeoning crisis of disappearances linked to organized crime.
