3rd volunteer grave search activist killed in Mexico

MEXICO CITY (AP) — Yet another mother searching for her disappeared son has been killed in northern Mexico. At least three volunteer search activists have been killed in Mexico since 2021. The governor of the northern state of Sinaloa said Wednesday that Rosario Rodríguez Barraza was killed, and called her “a tireless fighter.” The motive in the killings remain unclear, because most searchers say they aren’t looking for evidence to convict killers. The volunteer search teams, usually made up of mothers of some of Mexico’s over 100,000 missing people, say they only want to find the bodies of their loved ones.
