Activists and state officials agreed the operation represented the first serious effort undertaken by the government to search for the disappeared — people kidnapped or detained who never resurfaced, dead or alive. The mass killing, likely the largest in Mexico in recent years, had some victims. According to witnesses and court testimony, entire families were yanked from homes and off the streets before vanishing into the brush, their homes later demolished.
State officials attributed the violence to Los Zetas, a highly violent criminal group that has dominated a swath of northern Mexico, saying the group set out to exact revenge on the families of two traitors. The killings, said the state prosecutor, went on for months. Government officials claimed inmates at a Piedras Negras prison had killed an estimated people and burned their bodies inside the prison walls.
By the end of the operation, according to government officials , the search had yielded an estimated 2, remains, although it was unclear how many were human. But these killings occurred in Left unexplained was why the government waited three years to launch its search. Missing from the official statements was any explanation as to how the Zetas — whose name means Z — were able to carry out days, if not months, of killings unimpeded by law enforcement.
There was no indication that the military, which was posted at a base in Piedras Negras and operated a checkpoint outside of Allende, intervened. Questions about possible government complicity — directly or indirectly — generally dissipate when violence is branded as Zeta-related. But a closer look at the details of the massacre, the government operation, and documented disappearances by human rights groups offers a glimpse at network of corruption, collusion and impunity concealed behind the letter Z.
It has to do with corruption. By , the Mexican government, under a new administration, pegged the number of disappeared at 26,, adding that not all were criminally related.
Experts and several human rights groups, however, estimate that reported cases represent roughly 10 percent of the total, as most people are reluctant to appeal to authorities who were either involved in or suspected of having ties to organized crime groups. Based on their calculations, the actual number could be closer to , people. At the time of the massacre, Coahuila and its neighbors to the east, Nuevo Leon and Tamaulipas, had become black zones, with news suppressed and killings unreported, much less investigated.
The region is best described as a massive unmarked grave site, with the number of disappearances among the highest in the country. Some 1, people disappeared in Coahuila from December to April , according to official statistics cited in a Human Rights Watch report. Nearby in Monterrey Nuevo Leon, roughly people disappeared, according to official estimates.
On March 18, , just as the massacre was getting underway in Coahuila, investigators with the United Nations Working Group on Enforced or Involuntary Disappearances arrived in Mexico on a fact-finding mission. Investigators had no knowledge that violence had erupted near Allende when their tour reached Saltillo, the capital of Coahuila. Even so, their investigation produced enough information to issue a report condemning the Mexican government for its failure to investigate the fate or whereabouts of the disappeared and punish those responsible.
In some instances, security forces detained people and took them to military bases, according to a statement by the working group. In , Human Rights Watch documented disappearances, of which were enforced disappearances. Local human rights groups report that 30 to 50 percent of their cases were linked to state agents, including the army and navy. Disappearances carried out by organized crime groups were generally motivated by the possibility of obtaining a ransom, said former journalist Raymundo Ramos, now the director of the Human Rights Committee of Nuevo Laredo. In the case of authorities, he said, the navy would detain people after receiving information that the person was tied to organized crime or drug or arms trafficking.
