The story of the Mexican woman whose haunting last photograph was widely shared on social media in recent days came to a tragic end Friday after authorities say they found her decomposing body inside a subterranean water tank at a motel.

The assistant public safety secretary said that the young woman's body was not normal and that authorities were only able to identify her based on her necklace and clothing.

On the night of 8 April, the 18-year-old was last seen taking a cab home after partying with her friends.

A picture of a woman standing on the side of the road staring off into the distance in a skirt and high-top sneakers was taken by her driver, who said he snapped the picture to show that she actually got out of his car.

The father of the young woman was outside of the motel where his daughter's body was unearthed from a 12-foot deep water tank.

My daughter is dead. I don't know what to do, Mr. Escobar told reporters outside the crime scene.

The young woman's body was found in the tank, but authorities have not disclosed any theories as to how she ended up there.

The hotel workers sounded the alert because of the odors coming from the cistern.

The man who picked up the young woman, who has only been identified as Jesus, asked her to leave his car after they got into an argument.

He left her in the middle of the road in the middle of the night in the early hours of 9 April.

The man was arrested by local police for drugs and questioning surrounding the young woman's disappearance.

After she was dropped off, she was seen entering the site of Alcosa Transportes Internacionales, a trucking company, but she was never seen leaving the site.

The case has caused a lot of worry among Mexicans and the president pledged to help prosecutors find it.
