Great reporting. You guys make a good team. You report what most dont seem to be aware of and what the Mexican govt wishes and tries to keep quiet. Keep up the great work. .

When I was Mexico, I had a state ask for my expertise in kidnapping investigations yet they reported zero for the whole state the prior year--we eventually convinced them to honestly report their kidnapping stats in order for them to receive our assistance.

There were yrs w/o much, then Zetas came in & kidnapping again bcame common, Christians were kidnapped in Monterrey, also by the Family in Michoacan where we saw pastors kidnapped, Chihuahua where it bcame common 2 extort thru kidnapping, $50,000 pesos monthly. All hush hush.

Had family in Sonora fall victim to a virtual kidnapping, they paid a lot. Many wealthy families don't report kidnappings since they have their own experts who negotiate the release-- the problem is if no one is arrested the gangs continue to victimize--very lucrative business.

Yes, and there is that. When I first moved to Sinaloa kidnapping was common, Then no so much. Mexicans used to ask me what on earth I was doing living in Sinaloa. I was fortunate, but in my almost 30 yrs there have seen a lot of STUFF that would curl a typical Americans hair.

I am sure, I have been in some pretty nasty places in the world but usually looking through a barrel of a firearm--Mexico was a unique experience since officially I was not allowed to be armed

Understood. I loved my time in Mexico, and in general the people, and saw how kids and youth lost their innocence and were drawn into the cartels. Very sad, to see when that point is reached, how they are recruited or why kids want to be a drug kingpin when they grow up.
