Why Gabriela Rico Jimenez, Mexican Model Who Accused Jeffrey Epstein Of 'Cannibalism', Back In News?

News18 1 month ago

After the release of previously sealed documents linked to the late convicted child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein by the US Department of Justice recently, a video from 2009 featuring a distressed young woman has resurfaced.

The woman in the clip is identified as Gabriela Rico Jimenez, a Mexican model who drew public attention after she was filmed outside a hotel in Monterrey, Mexico, in August 2009.

In the footage, she was heard shouting allegations in Spanish, claiming that powerful people were involved in the abuse of children and cannibalism. She alleged that they "ate humans." "I wasn't aware of anything," she screamed at the gate of the hotel, and claimed while crying, "They had eaten humans! They smell like flesh."

Gabriela Rico Jimenez Was Taken To Psychiatric Facility

At the time, local police detained her and reportedly took her to a psychiatric facility for medical evaluation. She was 21 back when she attended the event graced by some political and business elites. Authorities had described the incident as a mental health episode, and later, even her family shared that she was experiencing some psychological distress. However, following her hospitalisation, she disappeared from the public eye, which led to some conspiracy theories.

Why Are People Interested In Gabriela Rico Jimenez Again?

Interest in Gabriela's case increased after the Epstein files were released. Some social media users have shared the clip, alleging that her claims were supported by the information released in the new documents. Some have posted on platforms like X (formerly Twitter) that the documents confirm the involvement of elites in ritual abuse and cannibalism. It is worth noting that there is still no verified evidence in the Epstein-related documents that supports such claims.

What Does The Epstein Files Exactly Disclose?

The newly released documents contain witness statements, unverified tips, Emails, and allegations that have not been proven. US authorhities have said that the file contains unverified information and that many claims remain unproven and speculative. Moreover, there is no credible information that links the convicted child sex offender and his associates to cannibalism. Several fact-checking groups have concluded that claims of linking Gabriela's 2009 video to Jeffrey Epstein documents are misleading and not supported by evidence.

Where Is Gabriela Rico Jimenez After 2009?

After the viral incident, Gabriela was reportedly treated at a psychiatric medical centre. Her family later withdrew a missing person report and said she wanted to stay out of the limelight. There is no confirmed public information about her life after that period, which is the reason why there have been conspiracy theories about her "disappearance."
