Hundreds Join Prayer Rally For 43 Students Who Went Missing In Mexico

BOSTON (AP) — Relatives of some of the 43 students who vanished in Mexico last September rallied with supporters in Boston on Sunday as part of a national tour to call attention to their plight.

Pedro Morales, one of the Boston organizers, says hundreds of people attended a noon Mass at Most Holy Redeemer Catholic Church in East Boston, followed by a march and prayer rally.

they aren't missing. They are dead.

It got some press coverage for awhile, but died rather quickly - covered up by the authorities in the area.
