Police close case of unsolved murders in Juarez, Mexico

Federal officials have closed the case on the deaths of 14 women and teenagers in the Mexican border town on Juarez instead opting to turn the case over to state officials. Families of the victims were outraged at the finding and have accused officials of incompetence and lack of compassion. (Families found out about the federal case being closed via newspaper, for example). Since 1993, over 400 women have gone missing or killed in Juarez and nearby areas.
