Homero Gomez, a
50-year-old agricultural engineer who manages the El Rosario Butterfly Sanctuary
in Michoacan, was last seen Jan. 13 while attending a meeting in a neighboring
town, the attorney general of the State of Michoacá said. Authorities say the
next morning, messages promoting El Rosario were sent from his cellphone to all
of his contacts.
His family reported him
missing that afternoon after his phone went silent, authorities said. The Human
Rights State Commission of Michoacan has also asked the attorney general’s
office to determine if Gomez’s disappearance is linked to his activism against
logging.
The day he went
missing, Gomez tweeted two videos of thousands of monarchs in El Rosario: Both
showed the butterflies “looking for water” in the “largest sanctuary in the
world.”
Its so sad to read and see this.

Prosecutors said they had detained the entire police forces of Ocampo and neighbouring Angangueo for questioning.
Prosecutors have not said why they suspect the local police officers of involvement in Mr Gómez's disappearance.
It is not the first time the police force of Ocampo has been detained for questioning. In June 2018, 27 officers were arrested on suspicion of involvement in the murder of a local politician who was running for mayor.
Ocampo is located in Michoacán state, a region that is notorious for its violent criminal gangs, which often bribe or intimidate local police into working for them.
