Hey guys and welcome to the Moms and Mysteries podcast, a true crime podcast featuring myself, Mandy, and my dear friend Melissa. Hi, Melissa. Hi, Mandy. How are you? I am doing well. I'm doing well. We're rolling into the dog days of summer. It's hot. Let's just get that out of the way. Everybody knows it's coming. It's June 7th. It's hot. Yeah. And that's really every day on the calendar you can put that. And maybe hotter on some days. But like every time I get in my car, I'm like, wow. we're really doing this again, aren't we? This is miserable. It really is June in Florida. I looked at yesterday, same thing I got in the car, and it just felt like so sweltering hot. Like you could just feel the heat. Like, it's like a weight on your chest. Like it's so hot. And I pulled up my app on my phone I was like well I just want to see like

what the real feel is or what the feels like temperature is and it was like 95 and the real feel

was 105 and I was like that sounds about right that's what I know that's what it feels like it does

feel like the heat is giving you this like aggressive hug. Like it's just squeezing you.

It's like an aunt you haven't seen for a long time that you don't even remember and you're like, you got to get off of me. But that's what the heat feels like to me at this moment. But, you know, let's keep going because August isn't even here yet. Let's really enjoy this. summer. I think the first day of summer. I mean is spring. It's fall. I wish. I know. I think the first day of summer is like June 23rd or something. It's 21st. Yeah. Something in there. Yeah. Something around there. So we haven't even really gotten there yet. But it is definitely summer. It's summertime for sure. It's something for sure. It's also hurricane season.

So, Melissa, that's going to get exciting for our little weather updates here in the coming months.

Got a couple weeks. Good thing. They have long range forecasting now because I get a lot less anxious, but I will still be on it.

I have to unmute our weather guy that I follow this time of

year, but it gets to be too much when there's not anything going on. I'm like, I don't need updates from you every five minutes, but hurricane season, I want notifications. And I appreciate that because I don't, so I get them. I know that something serious is happening when I get a message from you and you're like, hey, by the way, did you hear that there's a hurricane coming in like five days?

And I'm like, oh, by the way, did you hear that there's

a hurricane coming in like five days? And I'm like, oh, no, I didn't hear it. Always a shock to you. Always a surprise. I've never told you or you've never told me. It's always me being like, don't want to freak you out. But did you know? And you're like, huh, no, I didn't know. First I've heard of it.

So we'll get into the story for this week.

We're actually going to be traveling outside the U.S. to talk about a story that happened

in Monterey, Mexico, involving the tragic disappearance of an 18-year-old young woman in April

2022.

DeBani Escobar was a law student at the University of Nuevo Leon in Monterey, and she was an only child to her parents who described her as being a very sentimental girl who had dreams of conquering the world.

She was passionate about helping people, and just a few weeks before she disappeared, she even joined thousands of women in protest of gender violence in Mexico.

Not much is known about DeBani's life leading up to her disappearance. In fact, much of the

research for this episode was actually translated from Spanish articles. So we'll just get right

into the story of what happened on April 8th, 2022.
