Inside a Father s Desperate Quest to Sue the Juárez Cartel | Vanity Fair

Adrian LeBaron sat in the hotel conference room, unsure about this meeting, or the gringo seated across from him in the dark, expensive suit. He had come to Salt Lake City at the urging of his family, who believed the man could help.

A month before, on a mountain pass in Sonora, Mexico, Adrian s daughter and four of his grandchildren had been killed in a massacre that took the lives of three women and six children. Eight others miraculously survived, with seven wandering through the desert bloodied and dehydrated until help arrived. The killings made international news. CNN and The New York Times sent reporters. Then president Donald Trump had even tweeted about it, offering to send in an army to defeat the cartels.
