Happy, extrovert, hard-working. This is how Mile Virginia Martín’s brother describes her. Mile was born in Bogotá, Colombia, on October 20th, 1983. Coming from a modest family, she wanted to become a fashion designer and left her family in 2012 to move to Mexico City and find better job opportunities. In June 2015, Mile met Yesenia at a party, who offered to house her while she was looking for a place to live. According to the Attorney General’s version, based on Abraham Torres’ testimony, he knew Mile, so she opened the door for him on July 31st. After the tragedy, the Attorney General’s office took more than three days to confirm Mile’s identity, in part because his family was unable to travel to Mexico City to identify the body.
