“The truth we had a very strong experience from Jalisco with the findings, because we mostly had them inside the house, we didn’t know that this could happen,” confessed to DEBATE Ceci Patricia Flores, president and founder of the Searching Mothers of Sonoraa collective that arrived in Guadalajara last Sunday night with the firm intention of starting the week supporting mothers from Jalisco, Michoacán, Guanajuato, Puebla and the State of Mexico to carry out field searches and at the same time teach them how to do them.
The brigade carried out in the abandoned farms of Tlajomulco, Jalisco, also taught them, by leaving them as an experience that the dead not only hide under the earth of the arid fields, but also sometimes you have to knock down walls, dig into concrete floors and even use heavy machinery.
“We take that, that we are going to have to enter the houses that are abandoned and we realize that it is where they (the murderers) can best hide. Who is going to look at them? Who is going to listen to them?“added the Sonoran.
As a last piece of advice, the president of the Madres Buscadoras de Sonora collective asks the rest of the women and men who joined the brigade this week “not to get tired, not to give up, to keep looking, that this search does not end here, what this is only the beginning of a great fight that must be done for searching for our disappeared, for bringing them back home, never giving up”.
“We do not look for culprits, nor do we ask for justice, we just want to find our hearts” It is the phrase that was born in Sonora to ask the members of the drug cartels to let them search for their children in peace and this week it was replicated in Jalisco. Today Patricia celebrated that in the Mexican West she was understood.
“Nobody bothered us and I think the people of the cartels did notice… (I ask) that they look at us as one day their mother could be just like us, in her search, because we don’t know what might happen tomorrow and the safest thing to have is that (death)” , exclaims Ceci Patricia and hopes that since these brigades respect each other be respected the rest they will do the hundred people who have joined the collective Madres Buscadoras de Guadalajara.
But the call is not only for criminal groups, the constant support of the authorities is also requested.
“It is very painful but it is very necessary to make visible the reality we live in, that the government really do something to combat all this that is happening“, added Ceci Patricia Flores who was forced to expedite her trip to Jalisco, after the municipal president of Tlajomulco, Salvador Zamoraand the Governor of Jalisco, Enrique Alfaro Ramirezput into question the altruistic work carried out by the members of the collective, this due to the lack of results from the competent authorities.
Finally, he celebrated that what was initially a bitter drink ended with a good taste in his mouth. “We have never had a brigade as well organized as this… the truth is, we had a lot of security support thanks to the governor who he put on his shirt“. About the mayor of Tlajomulco he never knew anything.
The new goal of the Searching Mothers of Sonora now is to dig the border between Mexico and the United States. “In accompaniment of the groups of the United States we are going to make a international brigade With the favor of God, we are going to start the May 10 in Tamaulipas, because it is just our day, the Mother’s day. We would start with a march and from there we would go to the places where we would do our search, “he announced.

… Meanwhile, the search continues in Jalisco…
“We ask the president of Tlajomulco to show his faceto get closer to families to provide the support they are looking for”, is the request made by Yadira Estrada Ávila, leader of the Seeking Mothers of Guadalajarawho remains with the commitment to continue conducting searches for missing persons throughout the state of Jalisco
“I end this search very satisfied, with a great commitment to the people who stay here so that they continue to search for their hearts… I feel very nervous about the responsibility, but at the same time very proud of everything that is being done, everything that has been achieved and everything that is going to be achieved,” she shared with DEBATE.
Thanks to the experiences that he has lived in the searches carried out in Sonora, where Iván Alfredo Estrada Ávila disappeared, and now to the brigades carried out in Jalisco, Yadira says she already knows how to differentiate the smell that emanates from the corpse of a human. “I already know where there is a body and how a body smells unlike that of an animal, because it is very different,” she exclaims and in turn, along the way, surely there will be more mothers who learn from her.
Although it was well known that Jalisco is the number one state on the topic of missing people, adding more than 15,000, Yadira today said she was surprised by the large number of requests for help that have reached the Facebook account Madres Buscadoras de Guadalajara. Today, she asks for the participation of each one of them in the next brigades that they will carry out.
“Too many people are coming together, people are losing their fear, because this town was forgotten in searches, in searching for their hearts, they were forgotten about everything and right now with this brigade that was made we got a lot of empathy from the people in supporting us, in sending points, in losing fear, in joining the search. There were many points that still need to be covered. All the people who have missing relatives join the page (Facebook: Searching Mothers of Guadalajara) to achieve the goal of finding your heart, “she called.
Likewise, he clarified that those who have a missing relative and wish to request help on the fanpage to locate him, always provide the following information: a clear photograph of the disappeared person, his name, place and date on which he disappeared, as well as particular signs (scars or tattoos), in addition to the details of the clothing worn by the person at the time of his disappearance. “With that it would be easier to find his relatives”, he exclaimed.
To the general population that wishes make donations to the seeking mothers, pointed out that the most necessary items are shovels, rods (preferably stainless steel and 5/8 thick, as other materials bend).
