Throughout this ferocious war on drugs, we have seen many crimes against humanity. There are so many people suffering that it is impossible to cover everything. Sometimes we as correspondents concentrate so much on the big stories, the big events we know that the public (you) would be interested in, that we sometimes forget to actually concentrate on the people who are actually suffering through this day by day nightmare, which is why I have decided to cover a certain individuals story.
This person contacted me desperately asking for help, and willing to share the story with this blog. I will keep the identity anonymous, but I was asked to publish the name of the person involved. I will translate this for you guys, and I know we try to make these postings with pictures and videos, but this story requires no pictures.
This is a long story guys, so bare with me. I will translate this story word per word, and try to make it as reader friendly as I can, since sometimes when you convert Spanish to English, it doesn’t completely make sense. (Unless your name is bugss, then you have amazing grammar skills).
I will post first, the story in english, then my comment, and at the bottom I will post the entire story as it was typed, just incase you guys want to read the original.
This is Her Story...
Well my boyfriend, Alberto Ramirez Barcenas, he was living in Miguel Aleman, Tamaulipas, and I live in Reynosa. Every Tuesday, he would come to Reynosa to visit me, but on Tuesday 2nd of march of 2010 I called him to tell him not to come on that day, he was to show up until the following day, Wednesday 3rd of March.
He later called me at around 3:39pm to let me know that he was ok, and that he would show up on Wednesday, after confirming he was coming, he wasn’t supposed to call me anymore, but on that same day, Tuesday 2nd of march of 2010, I received a call from his phone at 9:45pm, I thought it was odd of him to call, but I answered. I pick up my phone and say, “Hello”, but nobody answers, again I repeat, “Hello?”, but still nobody answered.
