investigation, the summons by phone, and the fact that they were called to appear in a private home.127 The
Prosecution Service argued that it was important to secure the largest amount of elements for the
investigation and that they were summoned to a house that was safeguarded by the institution.128 In turn the
Prosecution Service considered that the open opposition of the legal representatives of María de Jesús
Alvarado Espinoza, Patricia Reyes Rueda, Jaime Alvarado Herrera, and José Ángel Alvarado Favela for them to
approach the Special Prosecution Service has been an obstacle in securing the best results in the
investigation.129

In addition, according to a report forwarded by the State on May 21, 2010, on the basis of the
case file for the above-mentioned preliminary inquiry, information was requested on the incidents of the
disappearance of the alleged victims from the Human Rights Promotion and Defense Unit of SEGOB130,
PGJE131, State Delegate of the Attorney General's Office of the Republic in the State of Chihuahua,132 the
PGJM133, Governor of the State of Chihuahua134, President of the Municipality,135 the Secretary of Federal
Public Security of the State,136 and the State,137 as well as other bodies. Likewise, an intervention was carried
out so that the Ministerial Federal Police Force would investigate the incidents and the preliminary
investigation that had been conducted by PGJE was received from it.138
127 In a communication of March 11, 2011, the legal representative of the alleged victims indicated that the next of kin of Nitza
Paola Alvarado Espinoza, José Ángel Alvarado Herrera, and Rocío Irene Alvarado Reyes had provided all the information they had and
that attending to the meeting referred to placed them in a situation of risk; he also indicated to the Prosecutor of FEVIMTRA that, at the
meeting of March 4, she blamed the family for the absence of an investigation. Annex I. Case file. Volume XVIIII. Response from the legal
