Up to 50 people are missing after starting three-hour car trips this year between the Mexican industrial city of Monterrey and the city of Nuevo Laredo, on the border with the United States, on a well-traveled stretch of highway that local media have dubbed "the highway of death."
Relatives claim that they simply vanished. Such disappearances, and last week's shooting of 15 seemingly innocent bystanders in Reynosa, indicate that Mexico is reverting to the dark days of the drug war from 2006 to 2012 when cartel gunmen used to attack innocent people.
