Rodríguez Martínez, the mother who hunted down all 10 cartel members who took the life of her daughter before they caught her too
In 2012, Miriam's 20-year-old daughter, Karen, was kidnapped by members of a drug cartel in San Fernando, Tamaulipas, Mexico. When local police failed to take action, Miriam took matters into her own hands. Over three years, she used disguises, false names, and careful detective work to track down nearly 10 of the people involved, handing the information over to authorities so they could be arrested.
Her bravery made her a target. Tragically, she was shot and killed outside her home on Mother's Day, May 10, 2017.
