In recent years, there have been numerous reports of disappearances in Mexico, with estimates varying widely. According to data available up until September 2021, the Mexican government's National Search Commission reported over 85,000 missing persons cases since 2006. However, these figures may not represent the full extent of the issue, as many cases go unreported or unacknowledged.

Various factors contribute to the high number of missing people in Mexico, including drug-related violence, human trafficking, organized crime activities, and political unrest. These cases often involve individuals from vulnerable populations, such as migrants, women, and children.Efforts to address this problem have been made by both government and non-governmental organizations, including the creation of specialized units and databases to track missing persons. However, challenges such as corruption, limited resources, and a lack of coordination have hindered progress in resolving these cases and providing closure to the families of the missing.

In this episode, we take a look at the desparation shown by the loved ones of the missing in Mexico as they are willing to even reach out to the cartels in an attempt to locate their loved ones remains so that they can give them a proper burial.
