At the beginning, Zunduri says, the dry cleaner's owner treated her so nicely she started calling her "Mom." Zunduri is now celebrating her first year of freedom. After five long years in captivity, she was finally able to escape in April 2015 when the woman who enslaved her left the chains a little loose. Human rights attorney Maria Teresa Paredes, one of the first people to see Zunduri after she escaped, said she was horrified when she saw the victim's injuries.  After Zunduri escaped and her case came to the attention of authorities, police raided the house where she had been held captive.

The two minors were later freed, but the five remaining adults remain behind bars and face charges of human trafficking and exploitation, punishable by at least 40 years in prison. Juana Camila Bautista, a special prosecutor in charge of combating human trafficking in Mexico City, said every single member of the family mistreated Zunduri in some form, even the children. Blood stains found in multiple places around the dry cleaners matched Zunduri's DNA. Zunduri has undergone a number of medical procedures as part of her recovery.
