FILE - A relative wearing a T-Shirt with an image of a disappeared boy, inspects an area where the group suspects there are interred bodies of missing persons, just outside of Cuautla, Mexico, Tuesday, Oct. 12, 2021. Activists said Tuesday, Oct. 4, 2022, that Esmeralda Gallardo, who led efforts to find her missing 22-year-old daughter, was killed in Mexico, the fourth murder of a volunteer search activist in Mexico since the start of 2021.
The U.N. human rights office in Mexico said Gallardo had been shot to death. The U.N. office condemned the killing and said in a statement that Gallardo “had provided relevant information about her daughter's disappearance which was not effectively taken into account during the search or the investigation of the crime.”
The motive in those killings remained unclear; in the past, many searchers have said publicly they aren’t looking for evidence to convict killers.Faced with official inaction or incompetence, many mothers are forced to do their own investigations or join search teams which, often acting on tips, cross gullies and fields, sinking iron rods into the ground to detect the tell-tale stench of decomposing bodies.
