Puebla, Mexico – Authorities have detained Christian N., identified as a key suspect in the disappearance and homicide of Alexandro Agustín Tello Olmedo and Karina de los Ángeles Ruiz, parents of students at the Instituto Oriente. The arrest has drawn attention not only to the tragic deaths but also to Christian N.’s reported connections to the National Action Party (PAN), a major political force in Mexico.
The case, which has gripped the region, began with the disappearance of the couple, prompting a widespread search. The subsequent discovery of their remains led investigators to focus on individuals within their business and social circles. Christian N., also known as “El Bau,” emerged as a person of interest due to his close relationship with the victims, described as a business partner, according to reports. The investigation is ongoing, and authorities are working to determine the full extent of Christian N.’s involvement and the motive behind the crime.
Initial reports indicate that Christian N. Is a businessman with ties to the PAN party and its leader, Mario Riestra. Ambas Manos details these alleged connections, describing him as an “empresario consentido” (favored businessman) within the party. This aspect of the case has sparked political scrutiny, with calls for transparency and a thorough investigation into any potential influence or protection Christian N. May have received.
The Fiscalía de Puebla (Puebla Prosecutor’s Office) confirmed the detention of Christian N. In a YouTube video released earlier this week. The video highlights the gravity of the situation, labeling him as the “principal sospechoso” (main suspect) in the double homicide. The investigation is being conducted in coordination with authorities in Tlaxcala, where the couple initially disappeared, and involves the deployment of Fuerzas Armadas (Armed Forces) to support intelligence gathering, according to a statement from the Gobierno del Estado de Puebla (Government of the State of Puebla).
Further complicating the case, a separate arrest record surfaced on February 4, 2026, for a Christian Ryan Tello in Norwalk, California. Local Crime News reports the arrest was for shoplifting (459.5), with bail set at $95,000.00. The individual is described as a 34-year-vintage Hispanic male, 6’01” tall, weighing 260 lbs, with brown hair and green eyes. It is currently unconfirmed whether this Christian Ryan Tello is connected to the case in Puebla.
The investigation is ongoing, and authorities are pursuing all leads to uncover the truth behind the deaths of Alexandro Tello Olmedo and Karina de los Ángeles Ruiz. The involvement of a politically connected individual has added another layer of complexity to the case, raising questions about potential corruption and influence. News outlets continue to follow the developments closely, with Google Noticias providing ongoing updates on the situation.
Facebook page Central Puebla also reported on the arrest of Christian B., alias “El Bau”, confirming he was a business partner of Alexandro Tello.
As the investigation progresses, the focus will be on gathering further evidence to establish Christian N.’s guilt or innocence and to determine whether any other individuals were involved. The case has prompted calls for justice and accountability, and the public awaits further developments with keen interest.
