Mexico Massacre Question: How Did It Happen Twice? - ABC News: "With only odd jobs to support a young wife and 2-year-old son in their concrete hut on a dirt road, Uriel Carvajal decided to seek work in the U.S., heading from central Mexico by bus to the northeastern border state of Tamaulipas.
When he didn't call home, his two brothers went looking for him, also by bus. Now none of the brothers — Uriel, 21, Rene, 28, and Cirilo, 23 — has been heard from.
Nearly a month after Uriel left home, the Carvajal family only knows that his brother Rene's identification card turned up in one of 26 pits found in Tamaulipas, where 145 bodies have been dug up so far. Authorities told the family to take Uriel's toddler, Ariel, to state offices to give a DNA sample."

And sometimes I simply muse.
