Only a few torn pieces of the crime scene tape around Lorenza Cano’s house are left. All that remains is the hope that Ms. Cano will be found. The 55-year-old activist is one of hundreds of women in Mexico who became advocates for the country’s disappeared population after their own loved ones went missing. Ms. Cano’s brother, José Francisco, was abducted in 2018 and never found. The abduction has highlighted one of Mexico’s most haunting national tragedies: a crisis of disappearances.
