Paulette Gebara Farah was a four-year-old disabled Mexican girl who disappeared, and was subsequently found dead under suspicious circumstances.

[10][3] That afternoon, the attorney general released a poster with a photo of Paulette and information about her age, appearance, and physical disabilities.

Gebara's aunt, Arlette Farah, sent emails and uploaded a photo to social media, where the news quickly spread, prompting a large response.

[10][3] In the evening, Lizette Farah released a message on television to the alleged abductor asking that her daughter be returned to her, saying that she could be left in a shopping centre or a crowded place, and there would be no consequences.

[10][3] "Each one of them at a certain moment have falsified their statements, which has made it difficult to know the truth of the facts and clarify a firm line of investigation," said then Attorney General Alberto Bazbaz.

[10][3]On March 30, Paulette's parents spent several hours at the police station before being transferred to a hotel to comply with the restriction order.

The body had two segments of rectangular adhesive cloth in vertical position on both cheeks, in addition to signs of a blow to the left elbow and knee.

[13] On April 3, Farah initiated an amparo proceeding against the restriction order, claiming that she had not been involved in the events that caused her daughter's death.

[10][3] Seven years later on May 3, 2017, Paulette's body was exhumed and cremated, since authorities considered that her remains were no longer objects of evidence for the investigation of the case.

"[18]A close friend of Farah, Amanda de la Rosa, was allowed to live in the Gebara's apartment for several days immediately following the girl's disappearance.

In the time she stayed in there, the bed was made on a daily basis, and nobody noticed the girl's body nor the bloody stains on the sheets as they appeared on the forensic video.

At the end of the investigation, she wrote Where's Paulette?, a book narrating the events from her personal perspective, questioning the discrepancies between the facts and the authorities' statements.

At one point, one of them declared twice that Paulette was "severely beaten" to death, and a few moments after, the forensic expert to his right removed the bed's blanket to reveal two large bloodstains, one of them the size of an adult's head.

The same man walked to the front of the bed, with the help of another forensic expert, and removed all the sheets to reveal Paulette's corpse, partially hidden on one side of the mattress.

It has also been noted that none of those present seems to show any surprise when discovering the body, and they even continue narrating the events with a mechanical voice, as if they were repeating a script.

The biggest controversy regarding the video was that as soon as it was released, Attorney General Bazbaz publicly stated that the images proved that Paulette had accidentally suffocated, avoiding any mention of violence.

After this discovery was made public, the television network aired the footage without cuts, including all preparation prior to the interview.
