Despite Dangers, Mexican Mothers Exhume and Search for Disappeared Children

Faced with the indifference of Mexican authorities, a group of mothers known as “The Searchers” (Las Buscadoras) have united to form search teams to locate the remains of their loved ones, who were the victims of forced disappearance in the northern state of Sinaloa. With nothing but shovels and sticks, the group has been able to find numerous hidden graves and some 90 bodies of the more than 400 that have been listed as disappeared in the region. Two members of the group brought their painful testimony to the United States. Guadalupe Grajeda and Berthila Beltrán spoke with Samuel Orozco. This entry is available only in Español.
