The Vanishing Women of Baja
Thanks for reading Ruth.
— March 25, 2013 2:42 p.m.
Mother kills two young daughters, then self, in Rosarito
I am looking more into the story. Some do think that the police just gave a quick answer of murder/suicide so the public wouldn't panic more on the issue of violence against women. You can read more about my work on the issue and area here.

Prostitute Left Duct-Taped by John in Hotel Room
Long story short, the women standing on the street being pimped is illegal. Buying a women on the street is illegal. The women having sex for pay inside is not illegal.
— September 24, 2012 8:28 p.m.
Prostitute Left Duct-Taped by John in Hotel Room
Same sex acts such as oral sex were banned in several United States up into the 2000's. Sex laws are more on enforcement than what is written at your local government. Tijuana has taken the stance that prostitution will never be cleansed from the streets or clubs. Steps to stop sex trafficking and minors involved in prostitution have been implemented, yet has hardly stopped the problem.

Prostitute Left Duct-Taped by John in Hotel Room
Initiatives in 2005 pushed by then Mayor Hank Rhon legalized prostitution, even though laws still exist that make it illegal. Hence why there are contradicting laws. The law is silent on the act of prostitution; hence it is legal. --To work in Zona Norte you must carry an issued health card (yet hardly enforced) --To keep the card active you must have it stamped monthly Directorate of Municipal Health (DMS) reported that Tijuana had 1,700 registered sex workers in 2008. Numbers have decreased as health card testing costs have increased. A 2010 study states half of sex workers in Tijuana are registered.
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC28829…
However, many prostitution related activities are illegal. --Public manifestation of prostitution is illegal. --Pimping and pandering is illegal. --Running a brothel is illegal. --Corruption of minors is illegal. --Public nudity/sex is illegal.

Mexico celebrating Independence Day
Cinco de Mayo is more of a cultural phenomena in the United States, border areas, and culturally celebrated in Puebla. Most other areas of Mexico do not celebrate it. Sept 16th is the bigger Holiday of the two, but nothing compared to religious holidays.

Tijuana woman missing, social-media users express concerns for safety of young women
Two more dead, one in Tecate and one in Rosarito. More details soon.

Tijuana woman missing, social-media users express concerns for safety of young women
I agree it is something to be concerned about, at least until they solve (if they even get a lead) these two and can prove its not a serial killer.

Two U.S. Fugitives Arrested in Baja
The photo is of David Pratt, one of the fugitives.
— August 6, 2012 9:51 a.m.
Top Drug Lord Allegedly Captured
Reports that El Mayo was captured were premature. Allegedly the Mexican Army had zeroed in on him in a mountain hideout. Helicopters were hovering above and troops were closing in, yet he was able to escape with a group of 10 or more gunmen. Information that his location was known and his arrest was pending, was apparently leaked. The PGR gave out a generic statement. We contacted the PGR and a Military spokesperson, they gave no more details in the incident.

Prostitute Left Duct-Taped by John in Hotel Room
Same sex acts such as oral sex were banned in several United States up into the 2000's. Sex laws are more on enforcement than what is written at your local government. Tijuana has taken the stance that prostitution will never be cleansed from the streets or clubs. Steps to stop sex trafficking and minors involved in prostitution have been implemented, yet has hardly stopped the problem.— September 24, 2012 8:24 p.m.
Prostitute Left Duct-Taped by John in Hotel Room
Initiatives in 2005 pushed by then Mayor Hank Rhon legalized prostitution, even though laws still exist that make it illegal. Hence why there are contradicting laws. The law is silent on the act of prostitution; hence it is legal. --To work in Zona Norte you must carry an issued health card (yet hardly enforced) --To keep the card active you must have it stamped monthly Directorate of Municipal Health (DMS) reported that Tijuana had 1,700 registered sex workers in 2008.

Cinco de Mayo is more of a cultural phenomena in the United States, border areas, and culturally celebrated in Puebla. Most other areas of Mexico do not celebrate it. Sept 16th is the bigger Holiday of the two, but nothing compared to religious holidays.— September 17, 2012 11:25 a.m.

I agree it is something to be concerned about, at least until they solve (if they even get a lead) these two and can prove its not a serial killer.— September 5, 2012 5:36 p.m.

Top Drug Lord Allegedly Captured
Reports that El Mayo was captured were premature. Allegedly the Mexican Army had zeroed in on him in a mountain hideout. Helicopters were hovering above and troops were closing in, yet he was able to escape with a group of 10 or more gunmen. Information that his location was known and his arrest was pending, was apparently leaked. The PGR gave out a generic statement. We contacted the PGR and a Military spokesperson, they gave no more details in the incident.— May 28, 2012 11:11 a.m.
