Editor's Take:
Miriam Rodríguez refused to accept that nothing could be done. When police failed to act on her daughter's kidnapping, she investigated it herself. She changed her appearance and followed suspects for years. Her evidence helped put many behind bars. She then helped other families searching for loved ones. Her murder on Mexico's Mother's Day showed the dangers such families face. Her case has inspired books and campaigns across Mexico.
