MEXICO CITY -- Mexican authorities say police have found the body of a man running for mayor of a northern Mexico town known for drug trafficking. He had been missing for three days.

Chihuahua state prosecutors spokesman Carlos Gonzalez says police found the body of Jaime Orozco on Wednesday along a road near the town of Guadalupe y Calvo, where he was running for mayor.

Gonzalez says the 40-year-old candidate for the ruling Institutional Revolutionary Party had been shot to death. Authorities haven't determined a motive.

Guadalupe y Calvo is nestled in a mountainous area known as "The Golden Triangle," which is used to grow marijuana and opium poppy.

Political leaders say organized crime has prevented several people from registering as candidates in other towns in the region.

Careful now, Rapunzel, or the Gang of Eight will call you a bigot.

I'm sorry, I meant to say "El Banda de los Ocho".
"The most terrifying force of death, comes from the hands of Men who wanted to be left Alone. They try, so very hard, to mind their own business and provide for themselves and those they love. They resist every impulse to fight back, knowing the forced and permanent change of life that will come from it. They know, that the moment they fight back, their lives as they have lived them, are over. -Alexander Solzhenitsyn

Comes from living in the SW and seeing what they have done to the once wonderful state of California and are trying to do the the rest of the SW.
