Case overview
In the early morning of 22 March 2010, Paulette Gebara Farah, a four-year-old Mexican girl with disabilities, disappeared from her bedroom in her family's apartment, located in a private building in the upscale residential area of Interlomas, in Huixquilucan, State of Mexico. In the leaked video of investigators, one voice is heard saying, "she was severely beaten" whilst examining the stained sheets. [1]
On 26 May, although Bazbaz defended the investigation and conclusions of the case, he resigned his position as Attorney General of the State of Mexico, saying that an attorney general needs confidence to act effectively, and that he had lost this confidence due to the questioning of his actions in the investigation of the death of Paulette Gebara Farah. Her death was ruled an accident, and it was concluded that she had died during the night after rolling over in bed and falling into the cramped space at the base of the mattress. [2]
