(July 1,2009)--Mexican police have found the the body of a slain Texas teenager in the violent border city of Ciudad Juarez, Mexico.
Police say the body of the 19-year-old El Paso woman was dumped Tuesday at a Juarez intersection.
Her throat had been cut.
Her name hasn't been released, but police are investigating whether her killing is related to drug dealing.
She was the fourth U.S. citizen slain this month in the bloody Mexican border city across the Rio Grande from El Paso.
Despite the presence of thousands of soldiers, the city is one of Mexico's most violent, with more than 800 killings related to the drug trade this year.
Elsewhere, police in the western state of Michoacan found the bodies of five men in a hole on a remote dirt road near the city of Apatzingan.
The bodies were blindfolded, gagged and showed signs of torture and multiple gunshot wounds, which are trademarks of drug-related homicides.
Authorities said they also found a severed head belonging to a sixth person and bullet casings from assault rifles.
Mexican drug traffickers frequently decapitate their victims.
None of the bodies had been identified.

Hey Gerry I agree with you, dont listen to that Voice of Reason, they must be an idoit. The rest of the free world hate the USA, well lets bring all our soldiers home, let them work the borders and stop all the illegals, then when the next disaster hits overseas and they want help from the USA, we can remind them, they hate us.
These drug cartel people are ruthless and I agree, ban the US citizens from going to Mexico for awhile and until you hit them in the pocketbook, the government won't take it seriously. They need us a lot more than we need them. How do you tell which illegals are coming over are in the cartels anyway? This is absolutely a security issue more than keeping illegals out of our country. Build that fence and send the National Guard to keep them over on their side. Better yet, let the citizens who own the land really protect their land. What is going on with our country? Quit buying those drugs and save an American
I agree with "Waco", our military should be able to put a stop to this terrorism in short order. And "Ratso" is right, as long as people think they can use drugs for recreation, there will continue to be drug thugs who are making a better living than you or I.
