Miriam Rodriguez tracked down 10 cartel members who kidnapped her 20-year-old daughter
She pursued them one by one throughout Mexico until they were either dealt with or imprisoned.
Miriam Rodriguez did not trust the authorities, so she decided to free her daughter from the kidnappers on her own. She and her husband took out a bank loan to pay the ransom. This was so common in Mexico at the time that some banks created a separate product in the form of a foreclosure loan. Miriam and her husband did everything as the criminals said, i.e. They threw away the money near the clinic, but they never saw their daughter. After that, guessing that the Los Zetas gang was involved in the kidnapping, she begged a meeting with one of the gang members, whom she asked to release her daughter, but he replied that they did not have her daughter, but they could find her for $2,000. Miriam agreed and paid the criminals for their services, but after that they stopped answering her calls. While at a meeting with a criminal, she heard him called Sama from the belt on his walkie-talkie.
Miriam decided to take revenge with her own hands, and she started with Sama, who after some time was arrested, thanks to her efforts. By searching for information on social networks, looking for places based on photos, talking to people and guarding criminals, she ensured that at least 10 criminals involved in the abduction of her daughter (a man and a woman) were arrested.
Unfortunately, Miriam died at the hands of an unknown gang member on Mother's Day 2017, a week after she turned in yet another criminal to the police ????
