Driedger was last seen doing what any Taber-raised farm kid might do on a Sunday morning, having finished the dawn chores on his parents' farm...

After that, Driedger went off to the local church, a regular habit for the clean-living, Mennonite-raised young man, who never drank or smoked, and whose only regular habit was making friends with pretty much everyone he met.

That was more than three weeks ago, and there's been no trace of Driedger since.

It would be a worrisome situation anywhere, but it's positively grim when you consider the farm is just outside Cuauhtémoc, Mexico, a small city 300-km south of Texas that Amnesty International has condemned as having the highest rate of disappearance in the country.

CBC just started a new series called Pure. "Pure tells the story of Noah, a newly-elected Mennonite pastor forced to work for a cocaine-smuggling ring operating within his closed community." Involving the Mexican Cartel. OT but made me think of it because it premiered last night.
 
So his mennonite family has a farm in Mexico...???

:thinking:

What's the purpose of that??? Plenty of perfectly good & SAFE farm land all around Taber...

Probably also doing mission work in the community.

Three weeks is a long time to be missing.
 
Interesting. I did not know about the Canadian Mennonite presence in Cuauhtemoc,nor did I know that there is a high disappearance rate there, even though I have a couple of friends from that city. I am very worried for this young man.
