Aired October 19, 2022, on Investigation DiscoverySeason 10, Episode 6The episode starts with Ivon Rodarte Avila, the sister of Kimberly Avila who has been missing since May 13, 2017. Ivon is amazing. Out of all of her family members, she is the most respectful toward Kimberly’s gender and sexuality. I’ll get into it later, but just know that not everyone in the family is as respectful, no matter how well they mean. ...
That night, Kimberly asked Ivon to take her downtown to go to a club. Ivon says she had her makeup on and was dressed up and that Kimberly said she didn’t get ready like that to stay home, which honestly mood. Pre-pandemic I related to this sentiment more, but post pandemic, canceled plans are a dream to me. For some reason, Ivon had a bad feeling ...
The city in which this disappearance occurred is vital to understanding the story. Brownsville is on the southern Texas-Mexico border. As you can imagine, the population is heavily Hispanic and Catholicism is the predominant religion. We’re talking very morally conservative. One of Kimberly’s friend who is also trans describes Brownsville as being ...
When Kimberly didn’t come home the next day, her family started calling hospitals to look for her, and they filed a missing person report. Normally in these stories, the police dismiss adult missing persons initially. They will say a person has a right to disappear if they want to. But, in this case, police took the Avila family seriously. It’s not...
Meanwhile, the family contacts the media for help. To their credit, news stations covered the vanishing, but we have to talk about the misgendering of Kimberly. The news reporters do it constantly. They deadname her and use photos of her before her transition. I found it truly offensive. We knew better than that in 2017. I wish the show had discuss...
Sex work
After about a week, police received a tip that Kimberly was a sex worker. I sometimes hate even saying that about victims because it doesn’t matter what their occupation is. Victims need help and our justice system should treat them all the same. However, it almost always has to be mentioned because it could be related to the crime. Our friend Oscar tells us that trans women who are sex workers often get into that line of work because of a lack of job opportunities, but also as an affirmation...
Cartel
A year after the last time Kimberly was seen, a tip came into a local reporter/blogger that they saw Kimberly leave with a man associated with the cartel. It’s not clear of this man was aware of Kimberly’s status as transgendered. Witnesses say the man accused Kimberly of stealing from him before shoving her into a car and driving off. The location where Kimberly was dropped off was near the International Bridge into Mexico, so there’s some speculation that maybe she was taken to Mexico. If t...
In 2019, police told the Avila family that they had received a new tip. They asked the family to hold a press conference to beg the tipster to contact the police again, but no one knows what the tip was. It must have been good if they went as far as a press conference, but nothing ever came from it. By year two, police stopped returning the family’...
If you have never watch Disappeared, you have to. It’s sooooooooo good. I recently discovered it (get it? discovered, like Investigation Discovery) and I’ve been obsessed with it since. If the rise of the true crime genre has taught us anything, it’s that keeping these cases in the public eye can lead to justice. **As an Amazon Associate, I earn fr...
