Blanca María del Rocío Estrada Ortega, a 73-year-old former official of the Guerrero state's Attorney General's Office, was arrested due to her suspected role in the investigation of the disappearance of 43 students from the Raúl Isidro Burgos Rural Normal School in Ayotzinapa, Mexico. This incident occurred on the night of September 26, 2014, in Iguala, and has been a focal point of national outrage and calls for justice since then.

Estrada Ortega is specifically being investigated for her alleged involvement in the loss, concealment, or destruction of security footage recorded by cameras at the Justice Palace in Iguala, which may have captured critical footage of the events surrounding the students' disappearance. The arrest highlights ongoing concerns regarding the accountability of public officials involved in the investigation into the tragic incident that has left many families seeking answers for nearly a decade.

The arrest took place on Tuesday night in Mexico City by agents from the Secretariat of Security and Citizen Protection, in coordination with the Attorney General's Office. This development adds to the long history of investigations into the 2014 disappearances, as authorities attempt to revive the case and bring those responsible to justice, reflecting the ongoing struggle for truth and justice in cases of enforced disappearances in Mexico.
