Seven Months Later, Kimberly Moya's Disappearance Remains Unsolved as Two Face Charges

Seven months after her disappearance, Kimberly Moya remains missing. The 19-year-old was last seen on October 2, 2025, after visiting an internet café. Two men now face charges in connection with her case.

Paulo Alberto 'N' was arrested on October 8, though his family insists the detention was only recorded the following morning. His legal team claims authorities used force to extract a confession, sparking accusations of torture and due process violations. Kimberly Moya vanished on October 2, 2025, after leaving an internet café. Witnesses reported seeing her forced into a grey Volkswagen Beetle by two men. Investigators later identified the driver as Paulo Alberto 'N' and the other suspect as Gabriel Rafael 'N'.

Both men now stand formally charged with disappearance committed by private individuals. Paulo Alberto 'N' was taken into custody on October 8, though his family argues the arrest was only logged at 7:00 AM the next day. During questioning, he allegedly endured beatings by agents from the Attorney General’s Office to pressure him into confessing.

The defense has since filed a complaint under the Istanbul Protocol, documenting signs of torture. A separate case file for these allegations has been opened. With no clear evidence linking Paulo Alberto 'N' to the crime, his lawyers are demanding his release pending trial.

Meanwhile, Kimberly Moya’s whereabouts stay unknown. Authorities have yet to recover any trace of her since her disappearance seven months ago. The investigation into Kimberly Moya’s disappearance continues, with two suspects facing formal charges. Paulo Alberto 'N' remains in custody, though his defense argues for release due to insufficient evidence. The case has also triggered a torture inquiry after claims of coercion during his interrogation. No further updates on Moya’s location have been provided.
