A woman devoted all her efforts to finding the murderers of her daughter. But the criminals decided to take revenge and killed her at her home.

The life of Míriam Rodríguez Martínez completely changed in 2012 when her girl Karen was kidnapped without anyone asking for a reward for her release. After two years of research, the girl's body was found in a clandestine grave and the mother collaborated to have the perpetrators arrested. Faced with this, a group of badbadins was responsible for putting an end to his life. The tragic story unfolded in Mexico, which for years has seen growing violence related to drug trafficking and seems to have no end.

Horror: They beat an old woman to death and suspected her son

It was the year 2012 when Míriam Rodríguez Martínez denounced the abduction of his wife. girl. Given the slow pace of justice in finding her, he founded the Community of Citizens in Search of Missing Persons, an NGO dedicated to the search for missing persons, which, over time, has added new members. Thanks to their hard work, they managed in 2014 to find the corpse of the girl, who was buried in a clandestine grave. The woman provided the police with the necessary information, which managed to find nine of the people involved in the crime.

From that moment he began to receive threats, but he did not flinch and decided to continue to search for other missing persons.

When he thought that he had lost track and that he wanted to enter his home, he received a series of shots that ended his life.

A few months later, the murderers – who remained unpunished – crossed the border with the police and were killed. All had criminal records related to homicides, disappearances and abductions.
