Rufina Jiménez Arias

Rufina Jiménez Arias, a 56-year-old woman from Costa Rica, was reported missing on July 7, two months prior to the discovery of a body believed to be hers buried at her residence in Laurel de Corredores. Her case highlights the troubling issue of violence against women in the country. Jiménez's disappearance prompted a public search led by her daughter, who expressed deep concern over her mother's sudden silence and health issues. Tragically, her 17-year-old son was detained as a suspect in the case following the discovery.
