Newsweek indicates 15 musicians in the past two years. (Noted above: ABC reported 8 in past year. Seems to be a stable industry?)

But it's Not just Musicians? Journalists?

And it's not just "prominent people." A Washington Post article back in July (link dead) reported:

Guadalupe Ivonne, who was raped and strangled, was one of the first victims in Mexico's grisliest modern-day crime mystery -- the murders of more than 400 women in the past 14 years in Ciudad Juarez, many of the bodies dumped in the desert, horribly mutilated. The killings, mostly of poor young factory workers

Mexico's statute of limitations for murder is 12 years, so most of these probably will not continued to be investigated.
