real numbers are probably higher. I was in El Paso for two years from 1994-96. Remember reading a Mexican paper article about over 300 girls who had gone missing in Juarez in less than a year. They uncovered a police/drug/gang/ring that had been kidnapping girls and killing them in ritualistic parties. Mexican papers don’t hold back showing pics of the murder victims.
People don’t even want to know what goes on there. Some US companies, when doing work in Mexico, at least the El Paso/Juarez area, send their workers over in Armored Cars, I’ve been told bodies are routinely found down there buried forget about out in the desert, in the city itself.
Now, this phenomenon has shown up in other Latin American countries, the truth is, I think it was down there previously but just not identified as such.
Once, someone was going through stats and then, this must have been in the early or mid ‘90s, they noticed, “Hey, the missing rate for women is uncommonly high”, it took them awhile to get it.
i am somewhat confused. i always thought most of mexico was a dump, now this article says these kids have internet, facebook and x-box. just get rid of these computers and internet and watch the worlds troubles go away.
