10:43 am
especially excited about the champagne guns. the. the hotel employee explains how to use it. the in the the board tourist no, they have nothing to fear from behind the walls of their hotel. here they can play with their plastic guns the in, but california sewer, the locals, are the victims of the drug gangs. and the course health are a long way from loosening their grip cargo in
10:44 am
a small hotel on the outskirts of town. we met with a former dealer for there's been a little while cartel back then. she worked for a chapel. we'll call her patricia for security reasons. she wants to remain anonymous 3 years ago in a settling of scores with a rival cartel. patricia was shot 7 times those the sparrows met right here. there were 2 bullets in my lungs, 3 over here in my arm and my shoulder. i was also shot in the throat. the bullet went in here, behind my ear, it was all will kill saddler. i took another to the head, which came out here we are. sally's patricia spent a week in a coma, but murat loosely escaped death, the vignette loud. okay. i knew that something like this was going to happen to me
10:45 am
sooner or later in the city. i was noticing that either death or prison despite all she's been through. patricia doesn't regret having joined l capital cartel. she made lots of money in the drug trade. naples, he don't have a hard way offered me a job. i had to be available 247. i mainly sold crystal meth as well as our peers products, which was cocaine during the 2 years in 3 months that i worked. i received commission on everything. i sold me back. i knew that call me soon. so i was able to make up to 500 euros a day, got back in to meet with you. that's around $600.00 euros for a single day's work in mexico for many a month salary. and contrary to official statements, this ex dealer says, the siena loa cartels grip on tumble is as strong as ever. you'll see, it is here. the leaders will always be in and around cabo,
10:46 am
because the gringo spend lots of money. there is a lot of money and loss capitalism getting to the needle. in reality, drugs will never disappear. it's a system. so even if lots of people are killed in the process, the system will remain and drugs will continue to circulate. the system is still intact, gunshots may no longer be heard echoing through the streets, but the drug trade is still booming. the cabo san lucas is home to dozens of nightclubs at night, some tourists to leave their secure resorts to party. it's the lucrative market for the drug cartels. why back? you know what i used to conduct their business undisturbed outside the clubs or on the sidewalks. despite the visit police present. the police patrols seem to be in place more to reassure vacationers than to target drug dealers.
10:47 am
in the background, a dealer give some cocaine to a clever in public. if you look like a tourist dealers aren't afraid to approach and offer you drugs, we speak to a dealer working outside a well known nightclub. what was the problem for the police? here me. i think you guys made the dealer boasts about how he bribes the cops. yeah, well, we don't have a problem. right. you want to try to ride it will likely was
10:48 am
it was there is no proof that the dealer is bribed the police. what is for certain is that the cartels have changed their strategies to continue working in p. we had to a working class district in san jose to cobble the cartels recruit dealers from areas like this one. there are many collateral victims of drug trafficking here every day. so coral prays for her brother alberto in front of the altar. she's built for him in her living room. april early. may i pray for my brother, please protect and help him find the right way ever. he may be a father of 3,
10:49 am
a bear to own the workshop. he's also suspected of laundering the cartels money before his disappearance in april 2018. that's going to it's horrible. not knowing what that was in. maybe he got on the wrong time. but we never found out what happened to him when and also to our family. he was nothing more than a good son, a good brother, a good husband, and especially a good father. we don't need to find the culprit, and we don't want to know what happened by so we just wanted to get a handle on making people who disappear. for good is the latest strategy used by the cartels to tie up any loose ends without leaving a trace. oh, i haven't missed so much. even if her brother works
10:50 am
for the cartels, sicaro believe he deserves a proper burial, but the government won't help. what actually are going to i'm angry because the government is doing, i'm not going. they aren't lifting a finger. you know that the stories are released in the media because they don't want to jeopardize the tourist or history performance. there are lots of disappearances that the government doesn't want anyone to know about, you know, getting these disappearances are also convenient for the authorities because they don't inflate the regions crime statistics every sunday. socorro goes out to meet a group of local whose loved ones have also vanished without a trace. the
10:51 am
we head to the hills around last, cowboy. this is where the cartels dumped their victim's body. disposed of like trash was one buddy was found over here. and another one just across the road as a day at the foot of the hill, so coral joined a group of 12 volunteers who are all close to the victims. ross, the group leader is president of the association for disappeared. person in los angeles, she lost her best friend almost 2 years ago. ever since she's been in charge of the searches. how does that stuff on today? we are focusing elsewhere on this course when we search this area previously, we found a few. so we want to see if there's a mass grave around here. look,
10:52 am
there are still some shovels. will start over there. you follow me to unearth what lies buried in these hills. the volunteers have just a few simple tools at their disposal. shuttles take axes and long metal rods. their best resource for finding decomposing bodies. poke around and looking for anything hidden better than we check of it smells of death or rod. they smells normal. so there's nothing here. after several minutes of searching ross and her team to make their 1st grim discovery the they gave us the phones, i guess that's what i've got these pieces of appeal, but i guess there's no legitimate reason to find tools like this here. so we
10:53 am
figured they've been used to dismember people. what what does this possibly torture come up with a torture camp in the middle of nowhere in these hills? that's nothing unusual. each time the volunteers have a hunch about something they dig tirelessly. though, due to the vast amount of ground to cover their chances of finding anything are quite slim yet a little further on. they discover another clue. yes, that's a bone bone will be sent to a lab for analysis in the hope it might contain the d n. a of one of the missing people spinal so us being able to tell one of the families that we've found someone is very gratifying. someone from elisa family
10:54 am
knows with their loved one in ski. why we don't know if our mission to find their loved ones. no matter the condition area, let me think. let me check. thanks to the volunteers hard work. the authorities have already identified 500 bodies and given many families the chance to mourn in baja, california soon. the cartels violence continues undeterred. the just a few kilometers away. the participants at the bid the tournament are completely oblivious to such tragedies. the wealthy here have just one thing on their mind. catching the biggest fish of the day, they hope it's going to make them even richer at
10:55 am
the marina, a crowd eagerly await the return of the 1st both. it's time for the big way in the team members show off the catch and head for this gale. when bisbee is tournaments host provides the commentary, we'll have to ask them how much money they've taken from us in the past. but it's been a few times for me, but i think are good 200. yeah, this marlon is out of the running, falling short by a mere 20 kilos. now, american businessman allen stewart has returned to land. just hang up here,
