Have any of the missing people ever been seen alive again? This article and the previous one on the topic posted here both seem to be saying no, the mortality rate is one hundred percent. If that's true, it suggests a personal rule for anyone living in or visiting that area: if the cartels come for you, fight to the death on the spot rather than let yourself be taken.

If the two alternatives are (1) be kidnapped, do some work, then murdered vs (2) fight to the death and have your family killed in retaliation, I could see how your suggested personal rule might be suboptimal for a lot of people living in that area.
