6. Mexico has the Highest Kidnap Rate in the World
People are always disappearing in Mexico. Some are found in shallow graves, while others are never seen again; legend has it that a cartel hood named “The Cook” has dissolved over 300 victims in acid. An average of 70 people are abducted each month in Mexico. In 2013, Mexico saw the highest number of reported kidnappings since 1997 –there were 757 missing persons reports between January and June. Up to 30 percent of kidnapping victims are killed. Others are subjected to torture and savage treatment. Los Zetas is particularly brutal. In 1998, a henchman for the cartel nicknamed the “Ear Lopper” was arrested.
