‘If you keep looking we will kill you’: death stalks those searching for Mexico’s disappeared
Organised crime groups are targeting some of the only people looking for victims of the country’s cartel wars – their relatives
Beneath the cooling towers of Mazatlán’s power plant, in the Mexican state of Sinaloa, a dozen women pick through the marshland, looking for the upturned soil – and the scent – that betrays the location of a buried body.
They are part of Hearts United for One Cause, one of hundreds of collectives scattered across Mexico looking for the members’ missing relatives. But these searchers have been marked out by another layer of tragedy: one of them was murdered in February, and another disappeared in October.
