Guanajuato authorities activated two emergency search protocols after a six-year-old girl and her mother vanished days apart in San Miguel de Allende. A separate alert seeks a 72-year-old woman last seen in Celaya. These notices signal immediate, coordinated searches and ask the public to pay attention to distinctive details and report any tips promptly. The facts below are compiled from official alert posts and the state daily. If you’re in Guanajuato today, here’s what to know—and how to help.
San Miguel missing mother daughter
A state daily in Guanajuato reported the activation of an Amber Alert for María José Peinado Pérez, age 6, and a Protocolo Alba for her mother, Erika Peinado Pérez, 31, both of whom were last seen in San Miguel de Allende on September 27 and 28, respectively. The same report lists a separate Protocolo Alba for Blanca Evelia Díaz Herrera, 72, last seen in Celaya on October 2. The outlet publishes on-page details and dates for each case.
Officials’ own channels corroborate the alerts. Guanajuato’s Amber portal lists María José Peinado Pérez, indicating San Miguel de Allende as the location of disappearance and dates in late September. The state’s Protocolo Alba Guanajuato feed features image cards confirming the activation of Erika Peinado Pérez in San Miguel and a separate activation for Blanca Evelia Díaz Herrera in Celaya.
The Amber/Alba notices aren’t just formalities. They mobilize police, prosecutors, and civic networks to move quickly when a minor or a woman goes missing. Guanajuato’s own guidance for Protocolo Alba explains it as an immediate, coordinated mechanism for searching and locating women, adolescents, and girls, complementing the national Amber Alert program for minors.
The Correo write-up includes descriptive identifiers—hair, eyes, height, and clothing—for the mother and child from San Miguel, as well as for the older adult in Celaya. It also shares the hotline numbers the public should use to report information: 911 or the Fiscalía General del Estado at 800-368-6242. If you know anything, even something that feels small, that’s the place to call.
What the alerts mean on the ground
In practice, an Amber activation pushes a child’s photo and key data across official and media networks to speed recovery. An Alba activation does the same for women and girls, and in Guanajuato, it is a defined, cross-agency protocol that is meant to be implemented immediately. Both systems rely on the public watching for distinct details and reporting sighting leads without delay.
The human timeline that matters now
The timeline is tight: Sept. 27–28 in San Miguel for the mother and daughter, Oct. 2 in Celaya for the older adult. Those dates shape where cameras may hold valuable footage and where neighbors might recall something unusual. If you live near those areas and notice a vehicle, a change in routine, or anything out of place around those days, authorities want to hear about it. Call 911 or 800-368-6242.
