Miriam Rodríguez’s life changed forever when her daughter Karen was taken by the Los Zetas cartel. Despite paying the ransom, Karen was killed, and her body was found two years later. But Miriam wasn’t about to let the murderers escape punishment.
She became a one-woman detective force, using disguises and clever tactics to infiltrate the cartel’s world. She located one killer working at an ice cream shop, another hiding near the border—each arrest a small victory in her fight for justice.
But in Mexico, where cartels rule with terror, her bravery came with a price. Miriam was assassinated in 2017, shot twelve times on Mother’s Day. Yet her legacy endures. Her son now leads a network of families demanding answers for their missing loved ones, proving that Miriam’s courage still inspires others to stand up against injustice.
