Huanna Baraza's Death in Mexico City

From 1998 until the capture of Huanna Baraza in 2006, 56 elderly women were murdered in Mexico City. Governor Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador and Chief Prosecutor Bernardo Batiz tried to dismiss public fears that the grandmothers of Mexico City were being specifically targeted. After 23 women had already been killed, Batiz announced, "What I want to say with all certainty is that there is no serial killer" The murders of more than 30 other elderly women attributed to El Matovia Heter's remain unsolved.
