There are claims made by some on here that have said the amount of women murdered in and around the Mexican town of Ciudad Juarez number 50 to 70. I would dispute these claims and say that the number murdered is over 300. The worrying thing about these murders are that they seem to be carrying on, many people have been arrested by the authorities who claim they are the killers only for the murders to carry on.

You are correct in your assumption that the Juarez victims are on the top side of 300 -- actually, the first 75 murdered victims were accountable to a person with medical training (doctor or medical student)and he lived on the El Paso side of the border (remember, it only takes 25 cents to cross into Mexico from El Paso and 25 cents to return to USA), but the strange thing is the first serial killer took the left shoe from each of his victims, which were never recovered -- after 75 left shoes were taken, those type killings with professional medical insisions on the victim's bodies stopped cold. After those 75 signature crimes, which gathered huge publicity world-wide, the killings were continued by "copy cat" killers, as they are today, thus the 350-plus total Juarez victims -- "The Virgin of Juarez" was an extremely bad example as to what is really going on across the border -- wolf
sharewe as registered users of IMDB can see the right info on the killings. actually now the number is well above 700.
can someone please change the actual number on the main site? after all, don't we all look to IMDB for factual info? let's not cut it short. That's one of the reasons these crimes keep on happening. Because the authorities discount the real problem. thanks

Checked what? Some article written by someone who provides no source
documentation, no case profiles, no anything at all? The 300 number has
been bouncing around for years. It's absurd and is never substantiated. When the FBI looked at this case, their number was in 50-70 range. That number was based on actual case work. Blaming hundreds of murders on a serial predator and then making up fairy tales of drug gangs and sex parties does not help solve the case--it just creates yet another way for it to be derailed.
Of the actual, documented, victims, several of them had a direct connection to the ECCO computer school. These are real people, not simplistic numbers made up for shock value.
Liliana Holguin de Santiago's body was found in 2000. She was 15 at the time of her death and attended ECCO. She also worked across the street from ECCO on a part-time basis.
Lilia Alejandra García, 17, attended ECCO. She was abducted on February 14, 2001. Police said she was held alive for approximately two days before she was murdered. She was abducted after leaving work.
Maria Acosta Ramírez, 19, worked at a Philips maquiladora and was last seen on April 25, 2001 leaving ECCO. Her body was one of eight found in a field in November, 2001.
Esmeralda Herrera Monreal, 15, had met with ECCO recruiters at her house a few days before her death. She was one of eight young women found in the cotton field in November, 2001.

Don't 4get the hobo killer case.
Spoiler alert for them spoil sports out there! Y'all like spoiled milk, stop crying over it!
There is a confusion here between the homicide rate overall (which female victims make up 10%) and presumed cases of serial killings.
The total number of women killed is over 300 if you start counting in the 1990s, but it is not one serial killing.
