Disappearances surge in Mexico during first half of year
July 16 (UPI) -- Mexico recorded 7,399 missing persons cases in the first half of 2025, marking a nearly 18% increase from the same period last year, according to the National Registry of Missing and Unlocated Persons. Between January and June, monthly reports consistently exceeded 1,000 cases, peaking in March at 1,279 and May at 1,377. The sustained trend reflects a steady escalation of the crisis nationwide. Mexico City recorded the highest number of disappearances during that period, with 1,099 cases -- an 88% increase from the same period in 2024. It was followed by the State of Mexico, with 1,063 cases, and Sinaloa, with 519. Michoacán, Baja California, Sonora, Jalisco, Guanajuato and Nuevo León -- states marked by high levels of violence and the presence of organized crime -- each reported between 325 and 467 cases. Disappearances in Mexico are part of a complex crisis that has developed over the past two decades. The issue is driven by a combination of factors, from organized criminal activity to systemic impunity, according to government reports, academic studies and human rights organizations. According to the National Search Commission and international organizations, more than 98% of cases remain unresolved in court. The systemic impunity has created an environment in which perpetrators know their actions carry no legal consequences, and families are forced to take on investigative roles. Search collectives have become the backbone of the fight against disappearances in Mexico, locating remains and demanding justice. One of the most prominent search collectives is Madres Buscadoras de Sonora (Searching Mothers of Sonora), which has become a national and international symbol. Just last weekend, the group discovered a suspected training camp believed to have been used by organized crime to train or hold new recruits hostage. Human remains and about 200 articles of clothing were found at the site, according to Univision. Since its founding in May 2019, Madres Buscadoras de Sonora has located more than 1,200 sets of human remains or bodies in clandestine graves and has pressed state and federal authorities to respond to reports of new burial sites. Young people ages 15 to 29 make up the majority of those who disappear in Mexico,- followed increasingly by girls, teenagers and migrants, according to the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights. In Jalisco, the state with the highest number of disappearances, authorities recorded a 63.6% increase in missing teenagers and a 72% rise in children ages 10 to 14 over the past two years, according to the University of Guadalajara. Routes used for drug trafficking, human trafficking and contraband often overlap with major hotspots for disappearances in states such as Tamaulipas, Jalisco, Guanajuato and Guerrero, where criminal groups fight for territorial control. In states like Zacatecas and Michoacán, authorities and search collectives have documented mass disappearances tied to violent clashes between criminal organizations. In 2022, the total number of cases in the registry surpassed 100,000. The number increased by 7.3% in 2023 and 6.3% in 2024, and is projected to rise by 12% in 2025, according to a report by Red Lupa. Roughly 90% of all recorded disappearances in Mexico have occurred between 2000 and May 16. Copyright 2025 UPI News Corporation. All Rights Reserved.

How does one earn a roster spot with Boston's Bill Walton All-Stars? Time well spent and a title in short order.
A scattered few were mercenaries of the most helpful variety. Some had been underestimated and discarded elsewhere, arriving here with scars. Others were acquired because they appeared — and proved to be — The Missing Piece. Most appreciated the passion of the Boston sports scene. Many reveled in it. All of them, in this century anyway, in this ridiculous run of 13 major professional championships since 2001, learned their way around a duck boat. When they return to Boston, it is obligatory to call them 'Champ.' Advertisement This topic popped into mind recently for a few reasons. Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up It's been more than a year now since Bill Walton (left) is just one of many athletes to come through the Hub and play a big role in winning a title. Stan Grossfeld/Globe Staff Walton came to mind often over the last several weeks while watching his former teammate Rick Carlisle, who spoke so eloquently about Walton last May upon news of his death, guide the underestimated Pacers to loved the way Carlisle's Pacers played the game. Walton is also connected to the other reason this was on my mind. The Celtics, mere days after their reign as NBA champions officially came to an end with the Thunder's Game 7 victory, began the brutal but necessary business of paring a couple of eight-figure annual salaries from their payroll in order to escape the punitive 'second apron' tax and roster-building penalties. Advertisement Related : It's a shame that Holiday played just two seasons here, because the guy is a born Celtic in all the admirable ways, an amalgam of Dennis Johnson and K.C. Jones, while also answering the question, 'What would it look like if Marcus Smart embraced calm rather than chaos, and also could shoot?' Porzingis was the Walton of this Celtics era. He loved being here, the fans loved him, he had great perspective due to all he has been through, and he gave a champ a superpower when healthy. It's both wild and fitting that Walton played one more game as a Celtic than Porzingis (118-117, playoffs included). Holiday and Porzingis are first-ballot Walton All-Stars, based on our loose parameters of being a short-timer (let's say three seasons in Boston or less) but a major contributor to a champ. There are actually more players that meet the qualifications than you might be able to name without the assistance of one So many, in fact, that we'll keep our acknowledgements today to those who contributed to the aforementioned 13 champions — six Patriots teams, four Red Sox, two Celtics, and one Bruins — since the turn of the century . . . or the arrival of Tom Brady, a far more relevant cultural event. Advertisement Sticking with the Celtics, their other banner-raising team this century had its share of Walton All-Stars. James Posey was the ideal sixth man for the '08 champs, playing lockdown defense, knocking down big 3-pointers, and being an A+ chemistry guy, which included having a different handshake for every teammate. Posey was here just one season, as was big man P.J. Brown. I'll pause while you happily replay his crucial jump shot in Related : How about that other winter team that took up some space of its own in the Garden rafters with the 2010-11 Stanley Cup victory? The Patriots have an abundance of these players. Veterans wanted to come here and board the two-decade dynasty in pursuit of a ring. Darrelle Revis, who proved one man can be an island for the '14 defense, and Chris Long, who won a Super Bowl with the Pats in '16 and then beat them as an Eagle in '17, are textbook examples. Related : The 2004 Patriots — their best Super Bowl winner in my opinion — brought in Corey Dillon, who rambled for a franchise-record 1,635 rushing yards. Advertisement Because 86 years of frustration had been endured before Related : The '13 Red Sox were rejuvenated by veterans who came in and instantly became a team — Mike Napoli, Shane Victorino, Ryan Dempster, Stephen Drew . . . There are many more that could have been mentioned by name. But not everyone gets a salute in the first class. Perhaps we'll dig into the pre-2000 Walton All-Star honorees at some point.

Is Canada setting itself up for a big home price spike in 2030?
Article content It won't be easy: Housing prices across Canada fell two per cent year-over-year, as of May, but there would need to be much larger drops to make housing affordable for many people. Article content On this episode, we talk to Mike Moffatt, founding director of the Missing Middle Initiative at the University of Ottawa, and co-host of the podcast on housing, the Missing Middle. Article content Article content The name, Missing Middle references many things — the decline in the young urban middle class, the polarization of our politics, and also the missing middle in housing — we have giant condo towers, mid-rise towers and houses, but not enough of the multiunit housing complexes that lie in the middle.
