     This long, detailed, sad and chilling piece follows the fates of 18 members of a Matamoros family kidnapped last 9 July...across from the USA border by a so-called 'good' narco gang.
    5 men are still unaccounted for...despite payments exceeding $100,000 usd.
    It reports on the uselessness of law enforcement to prosecute or even cope with kidnappings...as abductions in Mexico have soared by more than 300% since 2005.
