There has also been a serial rapist and murderer operating close to the border for over 15 years. The police have not taken the disappearance of these women seriously. They suggest to their families that the girls have run off with men or that they became prostitutes.
The only images North Americans see of Mexico relate to tourism. We do not often think about the lives of its citizens.
