Her 20-year-old daughter, Karen, was kidnapped by members of Los Zetas—one of Mexico’s most brutal and violent drug cartels. Despite paying a ransom, Miriam never saw her daughter alive again. Karen’s remains were discovered nearly two years later, buried in a shallow grave. But Miriam didn’t just grieve—she transformed. Fueled by anguish and an unshakable sense of justice, she launched her own investigation, meticulously tracking down her daughter’s killers one by one. Disguising herself, using fake identities, and gathering intelligence like a seasoned detective, she helped locate and bring nearly a dozen cartel members to justice—essentially building cases where law enforcement had failed or refused to act.  Miriam's astounding story remains a searing indictment of government inaction, cartel terror, and the price of speaking truth to power in a country where justice is often buried alongside the victims.
