As Prohibition-Created Drug Trafficking Organizations Continue Stronghold, Female Mexican Police Chief Taken Near Christmas Still Missing

Submitted by dguard on
Relatives feared for her safety and urged Police Chief Erica Gandara to keep a low profile. But she refused, posing with her rifle for newspaper interviews. Then, at 6 a.m. on December 23, 10 drug trafficking organization gunmen pulled up to her residence, dragged her out of the house and set the home on fire. She has not been seen or heard from since.
