description This article presents an analysis of the phenomenon of missing persons understood as a socio-historical fact that has been substantially transformed in the last two decades in Mexico, both in practice and discourse, passing from a Dirty War context to the Drug War. Forced disappearances, previously explained within the framework of political repression, today offer less clarity on the motives and actors associated with the phenomenon. This document is the result of a qualitative fieldwork over five years in the city of Tijuana, and a literature review that includes texts from the early 90’s and newspaper archives. The information collected indicates that current symbolic disputes in the field of forced disappearances, under the pressure exerted by victims’ movements, are expanding the frames of recognition around the phenomenon of missing persons in the context of criminal violence.
