- Highlight Loc. 15-19 | Added on Monday, August 27, 2012, 09:08 PM Among the theories, insiders and advocates for the victims have suggested that a serial killer or killers may be on the loose; that members of Juárez's powerful drug cartel and a handful of prominent buisnessmen on either side of the border in conjunction with police may be responsible for a number of these crimes. They believe that some people in power are more interested in covering up the crimes and shielding the perpetrators than in resolving the cases in any way that can bring peace of mind to many bereaved families.

- Highlight Loc. 136-38 | Added on Monday, August 27, 2012, 09:29 PM But there was no thought or planning for the influx of workers. The treaty exempted foreign companies from paying any local taxes, so the city had no funds for basic residential infrastructure. That meant that workers whose wages were already low had to fend for themselves in every way, from housing to child care to garbage disposal.

- Highlight Loc. 221-24 | Added on Monday, August 27, 2012, 09:42 PM Another reason officers were so dismissive of the reports was that their pay was among the lowest of all municipal jobs and attracted some of the city's most undesirable candidates. Only an elementary school education was required to join the Juárez police force, which had no investigative powers and was strictly preventive in nature. It was widely believed that many officers accepted bribes to make ends meet or had taken the job to earn the extra side money assisting drug dealers and other unsavory criminals.

- Highlight Loc. 280-82 | Added on Monday, August 27, 2012, 09:50 PM In this male-oriented culture, girls out on their own were frowned upon and often assumed to be promiscuous. Activists believed it was this mind-set that had prompted officials to overlook the growing number of poor Mexican girls whose violated, butchered bodies had been turning up in the desert.

It was that of a young woman with long dark hair. She had been raped and strangled, her ravaged remains dumped beside the vacant lot that belonged to Pemex.

- Highlight Loc. 303-5 | Added on Monday, August 27, 2012, 09:54 PM Uniformed officers encircled the scene with yellow crime scene tape and began a perfunctory investigation. Already more than forty women had been murdered, many with the same modus operandi. Yet police had few leads and no real suspects.

- Highlight Loc. 334-36 | Added on Monday, August 27, 2012, 09:58 PM Despite their promise, the police didn't drive Ramona back home that afternoon but left her to fend for herself outside the morgue. The despairing mother was forced to beg in the street for bus fare back to Colonia Nuevo Hipódromo, where her husband and sons confronted the horrible reality.

- Highlight Loc. 359-61 | Added on Monday, August 27, 2012, 10:06 PM Authorities told Irma there was not enough material to conduct a DNA test on the body; she was asked to simply go on the word of officials that this was Olga Alicia. With no financial means to hire an outside party to investigate the findings, she had little alternative but to accept this bag of bones as proof of her daughter's death.

- Highlight Loc. 404-6 | Added on Monday, August 27, 2012, 10:13 PM The night watchman resigned shortly after Olga Alicia disappeared, and the legal aide who had been helping Irma was refusing to take her calls. It was said he had been threatened. Irma had no idea by whom, and was too ill to follow up on any more leads.

- Highlight Loc. 415-18 | Added on Tuesday, August 28, 2012, 09:26 PM Irma fumed. She was well aware that a number of the dead girls were very young nine, ten, eleven years old. How could officials possibly fabricate a double life for those girls? The authorities had an answer for that too. They blamed the victims' mothers. They were lazy, uncaring; they didn't take proper care of their children. That's why the girls turned to strangers for care and attention.

- Highlight Loc. 427-33 | Added on Tuesday, August 28, 2012, 09:28 PM Four of the corpses, including that of Silvia Morales, conformed to a precise pattern: each one had been raped, stabbed, and strangled. All of them were found with a broken neck, a severed right breast, and the left nipple bitten off. Even more telling was an apparent link between the bodies of two more young women discovered in December not far from Lote Bravo in the fields behind the Pemex property, just off the Casas Grandes Highway. One belonged to a fourteen-year-old girl, who was later identified as Isela Tena Quintanilla. Police noted that the child's hands had been bound together with a rope that was knotted in the exact fashion as one found on an earlier victim, a seventeen-year-old student and maquila worker named Elizabeth Castro. Castro had disappeared on her way home from her factory job that past August. Her mutilated remains were found four days later in Lote Bravo, not far from the corpses of the other dead girls.

- Highlight Loc. 510-13 | Added on Tuesday, August 28, 2012, 09:45 PM At some point Sharif supposedly admitted to engaging in sex with the nine women and then told Fierro something that stunned her that he had murdered the girls and buried their corpses in desert areas south of the city. Fierro told Sharif she could no longer introduce him to her friends, but she later claimed she did not dare alert police to his story under a threat of death.

- Highlight Loc. 552-54 | Added on Tuesday, August 28, 2012, 09:51 PM The local media disregarded Sharif's claims, joining authorities in painting him as the Juárez Ripper. The nickname El Monstruo, or the Monster, appeared beneath his picture in morning newspapers. Local residents were scared to even look at the accused killer's image on television, saying he looked like the devil.

The brilliant chemist had reportedly earned millions of dollars for the company with his inventions, and it appeared they did not want to lose their precious employee.

- Highlight Loc. 674-79 | Added on Tuesday, August 28, 2012, 10:14 PM In the days ahead, police claimed that during subsequent interrogations, Armendáriz and his cohorts confessed to the killing of at least eight women under orders from the jailed Egyptian, Sharif Sharif. That the clever foreign-born scientist could have hatched such a plot from his jail cell seemed unthinkable. Yet authorities said the gang members had provided intimate details of their arrangement with the Egyptian. According to police, Sharif had agreed to pay in the neighborhood of one thousand pesos for the murders of two women a month. The killings were to be carried out in a similar fashion to those of which he was accused to prove police had the wrong man in custody and to leave the public with the impression that the "real" killer was still on the prowl.

- Highlight Loc. 696-98 | Added on Tuesday, August 28, 2012, 10:18 PM Gang members charged they had been beaten and tortured and ultimately forced to confess to crimes they didn't commit. Their stories were corroborated by family members, who described debilitating and painful injuries, including the gang leader's claim that he'd been handcuffed to his cell for three days straight and struck in the head hard enough to leave him with a permanent scar.
