Baja California’s Fiscalía General del Estado (FGE), the state attorney general’s office, is asking the public for help locating a 33-year-old mother and her two young sons who have been missing from Ensenada since late January.
Alejandra Judith Ibarra Gutiérrez and her children, Kevin Alejandro, 13, and Brandon Gael, 7, were last seen on January 25, 2026. The three left their home in the Colonia Ignacio Allende neighborhood of Ensenada that day and have not been heard from since.
Nearly Three Months With No Word
The FGE has released no details about the circumstances of the disappearance. Prosecutors have not said whether foul play is suspected or whether any person of interest has been identified. The gap between the January 25 disappearance and the April public appeal, nearly three months, is notable but unexplained.
Colonia Ignacio Allende is a residential neighborhood on the eastern side of Ensenada, roughly three miles inland from the tourist corridor along Avenida López Mateos. The area is home to working-class families and sits near several main roads connecting central Ensenada to the city’s southern and eastern outskirts.
How to Report Information
Anyone with information about the whereabouts of Ibarra Gutiérrez or her sons can contact the FGE’s Missing Persons Search Unit (Unidad de Búsqueda de Personas Desaparecidas o No Localizadas) for the Ensenada zone. The phone number is 646-152-2500, extensions 2559 and 2560.
Baja California has one of Mexico’s highest rates of reported disappearances. According to Mexico’s National Registry of Missing and Unlocated Persons, the state consistently ranks among the top five nationally for active missing persons cases. Ensenada, the state’s third-largest city with a population of roughly 540,000, has seen dozens of disappearance reports in 2026 alone.
The FGE periodically issues public search requests when its own investigative leads have been exhausted or when officials believe community tips could break a case. In recent months, the office has announced successful recoveries of missing persons in the Ensenada area, including a separate case involving a mother and two daughters located in the nearby community of Maneadero.
