SAN FERNANDO, Mexico — Miriam Rodríguez clutched a pistol in her purse as she ran past the morning crowds on the bridge to Texas. She stopped every few minutes to catch her breath and study the photo of her next target: the florist.
She had been hunting him for a year, stalking him online, interrogating the criminals he worked with, even befriending unwitting relatives for tips on his whereabouts. Now she finally had one — a widow called to tell her that he was peddling flowers on the border.
Ever since 2014, she had been tracking the people responsible for the kidnapping and murder of her 20-year-old daughter, Karen. Half of them were already in prison, not because the authorities had cracked the case, but because she had pursued them on her own, with a meticulous abandon.
She cut her hair, dyed it and disguised herself as a pollster, a health worker and an election official to get their names and addresses. She invented excuses to meet their families, unsuspecting grandmothers and cousins who gave her details, however small. She wrote everything down and stuffed it into her black computer bag, building her investigation and tracking them down, one by one.
She knew their habits, friends, hometowns, childhoods. She knew the florist had sold flowers on the street before joining the Zeta cartel and getting involved in her daughter’s kidnapping. Now he was on the run and back to what he knew, selling roses to make ends meet.
...
On Mother’s Day, 2017, weeks after she had chased down one of her last targets, she was shot in front of her home and killed. Her husband, inside watching television, found her face down on the street, hand tucked inside her purse, next to her pistol.

It’s nice to have goals.
She is a heroine. Would that every American had this grit.
Now its time to get it on to catch these killers!
This is where the Left is dragging the United States.
BIDEN INC., had better the women he duped when the chicom communism is imposed.... whats the old saying an angry Karen, e.g., woman.
she is reunited with her daughter and the celebrations are glorious.
Sounds like a Louis L’amoure western, only in modern times.
And when there is no justice, you make your own.
.
God rest her sweet soul - may all of us follow her courageous example.
Sorry this story didn’t have a happier ending. God bless Mrs. Rodriguez.
And yes, when there is no justice, you make your own.
Background: A few years into the Biden/Harris dictatorship a predictable turn of events has come about. Aggrieved citizens have started to no longer demand that criminals be sent to prison when convicted of a crime. Instead the citizens demand that the criminal be set free. Why you ask?. A cottage industry of folk for hire to do dirty deeds done dirt cheap has arison. It is thru these means that aggrieved citizens receive justice.
Scene: in a courtroom:
Judge: The law demands a minimum sentence of 24 years for the defendant’s act of murder. Any last comments from counsels?
Lawyer for the plaintiff: Your Honor, we ask that the defendant be released into the civilian population.
Lawyer for the defendant: Your Honor, that is not acceptable as being released is almost a guaranteed death sentence. We ask that my client be allowed to join the prison population for the maximum sentence.
Judge: I find for the plaintiff. The defendant is to be released immediately. Court dismissed.
Defendant as handcuffs are being removed: NO! NO! You can’t do this ...
Plaintiff whispering to himself: Adios mutha ph*quer.
The only good thing here is that the NYT gives publicity to this tragedy. Note who and where the criminals are and when. Will the (ugh) Biden Administration restore the southern border to the quality of the Obama Administration?
Admirable woman.
Sounds like a Vince Gilligan/Peter Gould production.
An amazing story. Her daughter was fortunate to have a mother that loved her so.
An obvious movie to be made about this story.
Prison? She should have just executed them.
I admire her guts though.
This could be a good movie for Netflix.
