The Mom Who Fought a Cartel | True Crime Reports

a mother’s fervent search for the killers of her daughter.

One of Mexico’s most feared cartels kidnapped and murdered Karen Rodriguez in 2014. Hers was the only family that was forced to remain silent, unlike the majority of families.

Her mother, Miriam Rodrigues, shunned her own desperate search for justice after refusing to give up. Miriam’s fearless pursuit made her an unlikely hero and a target in a nation where cartels operate with impunity, kidnappings are frequent, and speaking out can lead to death.

This extraordinary tale of a mother’s fervent desire to bring her daughter’s murderers to justice and the high price she paid for defying cartels is remarkable.
