In Mexico, situations are experienced daily that seem to be taken from a horror movie, people disappear and are never heard from again, but those who fall into the hands of the cartels live through hell before dying and the hitmen make sure that their family Long live another, because they do everything so they don’t find them.
The search groups have found places that reveal what is happening, they are known as extermination camps, there they not only kill, they also reduce the bodies so that they cannot be locateds and one of them was recently found on the US-Mexico border.
It was in the vicinity of the city of Reynosa, in the Mexican state of Tamaulipas, where this site was found. All the pain experienced by the relatives is attributed to the Gulf cartel (CDG), which lives an eternal dispute with The Zetas and the Northeast Cartel.
In this drug war, dozens of people have been left behind, some resisting and clinging to their love for their children or other relatives, making them go looking for them in the least expected places, but this work has been key to finding these so-called extermination centers, one of which was documented by the newspaper Milenio.
This ranch was located since February 2022 thanks to the fact that the cell phone of a missing young man was located there, but the authorities did not intervene and it had not been inspected, a year and a half later a group of women went to the place, accompanied by elements from various dependencies state and federal To get to the site They passed through other abandoned ranches, also used by the drug traffickers.which show the desolation that prevails in the region.
Upon arriving at the place, they are greeted with the initials CDG painted with chalk on the facade of the house, unlike other search areas, there human remains are not buried, they are in plain sightgnawed clothing, shell casings and small bone fragments are observed.
They also found a calcination area, an oven, a pool and a cistern or “kitchen”, with almost five kilos of remains. The search collective lists the findings one by one, while remembering the family member who disappeared.
Don Antonio, the only man who accompanies the searchers, says that eight years ago, in August 2015, his three children and a godson went out in the morning to buy barbecue and, for fighting with a “pointer”, as they are called the drug dealers were taken away, he told Milenio.
The searchers continue to make their way to the place to find more human remains, as they have been told that there they usually throw bags that contain them, but in the distance they see three columns of smoke, that is the way that the cartels have to notify each other that the authorities are nearby, so they end the search.
