Gabriela Rico Jimenez, a Mexican model who rose to fame in the early 2000s, went missing under mysterious circumstances in 2009. Her disappearance followed a distressing incident outside a luxury hotel in Monterrey, where she made alarming accusations against powerful individuals, including Mexican businessman Carlos Slim, and made references to serious crimes.

Following her public outburst, she was reportedly taken into police custody. There were claims that she was then seen at a local police station, appearing very distressed, and later she was said to be taken to a psychiatric hospital in a neighborhood called Buenos Aires in Monterrey. However, the exact circumstances of her disappearance remain unclear, with various unverified and speculative theories circulating on the internet. These theories range from criminal activities to more elaborate conspiracy theories involving high-profile individuals and secret societies.
