My original post linked to an article about the situation.
No one knows if they're connected, because the police don't investigate it. I appreciate that they have their hands full, but I feel that this should be made a priority.
The murder situation in Mexico is pretty terrible generally, but Juarez has this problem in addition to a high murder rate (about two thousand in 2011, or 1.5% of the population). Any murder that looks like it was done by drug cartels tends to receive no attention from the authorities, and some journalists have alleged that the army is murdering people and disposing of the bodies publicly in the style of the cartels because they know that no one will investigate cases like that.
Missed the stealth link.
Aside from it's own feminist slant, I'm not sure that the wiki article shed a whole lot of light on the situation, as there as a lot of unknowns that it simply speculates on.
Of course, we could always end the failed drug war and
really help Mexico out, along with the world at large, but that would force politicians to admit they were wrong and shrink bureaucratic empires, so it's never going to happen.
