I don’t know if it can be verified.
But I do know Borderland Beat is very reputable.
It’s so reliable that the three editors,contributors and forum moderators are anonymous because they are all on “kill lists”.
This is not hyperbole. Bloggers and journalist are regularly killed by cartels and perhaps the government.
I watched the movie “Bordertown” movie that was based on the true stories of missing Mexican women, and the American reporter and Mexican newspaper guy that investigated them.
Hard to believe it was true.
It even has a name - “Femicide”. 52,000 dead in 35 years, a third of them in the last six years.
