MEXICO CITY, Nov 11 — The work never ends in Mexico City’s missing persons unit, which is trying a new approach to the country’s massive disappearance crisis.

Over 130,000 people are missing across Mexico as ordinary people bear the brunt of seemingly limitless drug violence.

Distraught families looking for their loved ones have long denounced slow-to-start searches, sluggish bureaucracy, apathy and even abuse by the authorities, all of which add to their woes.

AFP visited the year-old Comprehensive Care Centre for the Search for Persons in the capital, which is looking to right that wrong.
