Floating in the water of a drinking water tank, they found the body of a 27-year-old resident of the building – a psychology graduate and aspiring actress, Carmen Yarira Esparza Noriega, who had been missing since last February.
Residents who complained about a bad taste in their drinking water got a nasty surprise when the body of an aspiring Mexican actress was found decomposing in the apartment building’s water tank.
Health officials found her severely decomposing body in the tank on Dec. 23. Relatives were able to identify by her hip and breast implants, as well as her nose surgery.
Friends and family initially feared that Esparza Noriega, known as “Yaris” to those closest to her, had been abducted.
“When she failed to turn up at the clinic where she worked, we all thought that she might have been kidnapped and sold off into the sex trafficking industry,” her friend Javier Paz told the Daily Mail.
Police are looking into an ex-boyfriend who paid for her lavish apartment, according to multiple reports. Esparza Noriega had reportedly broken things off with him in favor of a lawyer and was planning to move out at the time of her disappearance.
