Juarez murders

I was greatly dismayed to see the story about the disappearing women of Juarez in the Calendar section (“Vanished,” by Anne-Marie O’Connor, Oct. 31).

While you may have run the story to coincide with the presentation by Eve Ensler and others at UCLA, or even to highlight the Day of the Dead, I find it appalling that you chose to present the story as if it were some kind of murder mystery, relegated to the pages of “Style & Culture.”

For the hundreds of murdered women in Juarez, and for all of their friends and family, every day is Day of the Dead, and there’s nothing stylish about it.
