Summary
Este libro documenta las desapariciones de al menos diez adolescentes —todas estudiantes, con el futuro por delante— en la zona de Ecatepec y Los Reyes Tecámac, en el Estado de México. Lydiette Carrión narra con vértigo la odisea de los padres para encontrar a sus hijas; la precariedad de las investigaciones, realizadas por un sistema policiaco laberíntico, corrupto, criminal y altamente ineficaz, y la estigmatización que sufren las víctimas aún en la muerte.
Esta edición actualizada incluye nuevos capítulos que no sólo amplían lo que se conoce de los casos expuestos, sino que narran la captura y confesión en 2018 de Juan Carlos y Patricia, quienes fueron vinculados a proceso por el feminicidio de varias jóvenes. Si bien esta nueva edición muestra que la lucha de las familias de las víctimas ha resultado determinante para obtener justicia, La fosa de agua deja en claro que no todo está resuelto. Sigue cuestionando la poca o nula investigación contra servidores públicos que fueron omisos, y otros de los que hubo indicios de complicidad; así como esta crisis humanitaria de grandes proporciones en la que vivimos.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
“This is barely a corner of Mexico’s anomaly, a broken country with over 30 thousand people missing on its geography.”—BLANCHE PETRICH
This book documents the disappearances of at least ten young girls—all students, with their futures ahead of them—in the area of Ecatepec and Los Reyes Tecámac, in the State of Mexico. Lydiette Carrión narrates the parents’ dizzying odyssey to find their daughters, the precariousness of the investigations, conducted by a labyrinthine, corrupt, criminal, and highly inefficient police system, and the stigmatization the victims suffer even in death.
This updated edition includes new chapters that not only add to what we know about the cases, but tell of the capture and confession of Juan Carlos and Patricia in 2018, both connected to several murders of young women. As this new edition shows the victims' families struggle crucial to achieving justice, The Water Pit makes it clear that not everything is solved. They are still questioning—with little to no investigation—the public servants who were neglectful, those who displayed evidence of complicity, as well as the humanitarian crisis of huge proportions in which we now currently live.
