Journalist kidnapped in southern Mexico found dead
Feb 9, 10:43 PM EST

MEXICO CITY (AP) -- A reporter who was kidnapped by armed assailants in the Gulf Coast state of Veracruz this week has been found dead, Mexican authorities said Tuesday.

Anabel Flores Salazar's body was discovered on a highway in the neighboring state of Puebla and later identified by family members, Veracruz prosecutors said in a statement.

Flores Salazar, a crime-beat reporter for a local newspaper in Orizaba, Veracruz, was dragged from her home near the city before dawn Monday.

At least 15 journalists have been killed in Veracruz since Gov. Javier Duarte took office in 2010, and three more have disappeared. His administration has been criticized for suggesting many of those reporters had links to drug gangs or were victims of common crime.

Hmmmm.
Lots of left-leaning victims of crime these days.

Could cartels be acting as de-facto death squads on behalf of elites?

Just askin'.
