En México hay más de 70.000 personas desaparecidas. Las autoridades suelen dejar a las familias la búsqueda de sus seres queridos. Así sucedió con Miriam Rodríguez, que emprendió sola una campaña por la justicia cuando su hija fue asesinada por un cártel. nyti.ms/3qXvxV9

San Fernando es conocida por sus desapariciones, violencia de crimen organizado y fosas masivas, en parte por su cercanía con la frontera. En 2014, hombres armados subieron a la fuerza a la camioneta de Karen, la hija de 20 años de Miriam y se la llevaron. nyti.ms/2KlYqcD

En las semanas posteriores al secuestro, la familia jugó al gato y al ratón con quienes llamaban asegurando que tenían a Karen y exigían dinero como rescate. Pidieron préstamos para hacer todos los pagos, pero Karen jamás volvió. nyti.ms/2KlYqcD

A pesar del enorme peligro que implicaba su investigación, incluidas amenazas a su vida y la de su familia, Miriam perseveró y con sus esfuerzos llevó a diez integrantes de los Zetas y sus cómplices ante la justicia. nyti.ms/2KlYqcD

El Día de las Madres de 2017, luego de atrapar a uno de sus últimos objetivos la balearon a muerte frente a su casa. nyti.ms/2KlYqcD

La muerte de Miriam encarna la impunidad que retuerce la vida diaria de los que siguen buscando a sus seres queridos inspirados por su tenacidad, pero que también temen que una búsqueda tan fervorosa pueda llevarlos al mismo destino trágico de ella. nyti.ms/2KlYqcD

As coronavirus vaccines advance through clinical trials, some wealthy countries have reserved enough doses to immunize their own populations multiple times over. nyti.ms/34jGfvs

If all the doses wealthy countries have claimed are delivered, Britain and the United States could inoculate their residents four times over, and Canada six times over, according to a New York Times analysis. nyti.ms/34jGfvs

The competition for vaccines has led to an extraordinary gap in access around the world between richer and poorer countries. nyti.ms/34jGfvs

More than 70,000 people are missing in Mexico. Authorities often turn a blind eye, leaving families to look for loved ones alone.

That's the story of Miriam Rodriguez, who led a one-woman campaign for justice for her daughter’s murder by a local cartel. nyti.ms/3oKpyRB

San Fernando is infamous for disappearances and gang violence, in part because of its proximity to border crossing points. In January 2014, armed men forced their way into the truck of Miriam’s 20-year-old daughter, Karen, and took off with her. nyti.ms/3qUwVYo

In the weeks after Karen’s abduction, the family played cat and mouse with callers claiming to have Karen and demanding ransom money.

They took out loans to make every payment, but Karen never returned. nyti.ms/3qUwVYo
