Mystery and Horror in the Carolina Flores Case: Husband Admits Spending a Day with the Body While Trying to Feed Their Baby

Case of Former Beauty Queen Carolina Flores

Mother-in-Law Fugitive for Femicide

Baby Was Inside the Home

The Carolina Flores murder case in Mexico continues to shock the public as new details emerge, revealing that her husband, Alejandro Sánchez Herrera, allegedly remained for an entire day inside the apartment where the crime occurred before notifying authorities.

The information was reported by journalist Carlos Jiménez, who stated that, according to the widower’s own account, he stayed with the body “trying to feed the baby,” as the infant was still breastfeeding.

The revelation has sparked public outrage, as the crime occurred on April 15, and it was not until April 16 that Sánchez went to the prosecutor’s office accompanied by his lawyer.

So far, there has been no official explanation as to why the husband waited nearly 24 hours before reporting the murder of the former beauty queen, Carolina Flores Gómez.

Husband’s Account and Family Doubts

According to statements presented on the program C4 En Alerta, Alejandro claimed he stayed in the home out of concern for his child.

Reyna Gómez Molina, Carolina’s mother, said her son-in-law explained he feared that if he were immediately detained, the baby would be placed in foster care.

“He thought that if he was taken into custody, the baby would be sent to a shelter. He even recorded videos to show how to feed the child,” she stated.

Meanwhile, her daughter’s body remained inside the apartment—something she directly questioned her son-in-law about.

The Phone Call That Confirmed Her Death

Carolina’s mother recalled the moment she received the call that changed her life.

“On Thursday at 1:35 p.m., I got a call from my son-in-law. I asked, ‘How is Caro? How is Caro?’ And that’s when he told me she was dead.”

In desperation, she said she began screaming and heard a female voice in the background, prompting her to ask if it was her daughter.

“I told him, ‘Tell me the one speaking is my daughter’… He said, ‘No ma’am, I’m at the prosecutor’s office and they’re calling me. My mother shot her.’”

Controversy and unanswered questions surround the case of Carolina Flores Gómez, the former Miss Baja California murdered in Polanco.

In this case, a Mexico City judge issued an arrest warrant against Erika María Guadalupe Herrera Coriand, the mother of Carolina’s husband.

The 63-year-old woman is identified as the alleged perpetrator of the femicide and has been missing since April 15.

Her photograph began circulating on social media, accompanied by messages identifying her as the person wanted for allegedly shooting the 27-year-old woman multiple times.

Who Is the Mother-in-Law Accused in the Crime?

Erika Guadalupe Herrera Coriand is the mother of Alejandro Sánchez and the grandmother of the baby the couple had together.

In publicly released documents, she is identified as a “candidate for councilwoman for the municipality of Ensenada” in 2016. However, there is no official information confirming current political ties or active participation in recent public office.

Carolina, her husband, and their baby originally lived in Ensenada, Baja California, but moved to Mexico City in December 2025.

The case remains open, with no arrests so far, and the search for the alleged suspect continues as social pressure grows for all the facts to be clarified, according to Univisión.

Authorities are tracking Caro Flores’ killer in two locations:
