Searching for missing persons amid the Sinaloa Cartel war
"Because, in the end, my mom is going to go with you to ask them to come and look for me. This was a brief conversation between a hitman and Mrs. Reynalda Pulido, a woman who has located more than 40 bodies and remains in Sinaloa over the past year, trying to find her son Javier Ernesto Velez Pulido, who disappeared on December 8, 2020, a case that is now being targeted by the Culiacan Municipal Police."
"The difference is that now the hitmen see us and they better step aside. It's like they know this is the end for them, Pulido says, as if trying to describe how the war in Sinaloa, fought between Ivan and Alfredo Guzman, sons of Joaquin El Chapo Guzman, and Ismael Zambada Sicairos, son of Ismael El Mayo Zambada, could end."
Reynalda Pulido has located over 40 bodies and remains in Sinaloa while searching for her son Javier Ernesto Velez Pulido, who disappeared on December 8, 2020. Hitmen threaten and sometimes bury victims, telling Pulido they will be next if she reveals locations. A war between sons of Joaquin 'El Chapo' Guzman and the son of Ismael 'El Mayo' Zambada escalates violence. Cartel attacks using explosive-carrying drones devastated towns like El Pozo. Methamphetamine laboratories along the Tamazula River require water and contaminate land. Local residents face recruitment, poisoning, murder, and disappearances while municipal police now target the case.
