...yowl. Thus Mexican police were not all that surprised last week when a search of a cattle ranch 20 miles outside the town of Matamoros turned up 75 lbs. of marijuana. But the investigation took a darker turn when the authorities showed the ranch's caretaker a photo of Mark Kilroy, 21, a University of Texas senior who had vanished a month...
Texas officials credited the discovery of El Padrino's cult in part to Mexico City's drug crackdown along the border, but that was small comfort to the families of Mark Kilroy and the other dead. As relatives of more than 100 missing people crowded Matamoros' funeral homes to learn if their loved ones were among the victims, whispers of other demonic bands and hideous deeds swept the Rio Grande valley.

Here in the heartland of the meth outlaws, a territory beginning roughly at the southerly edges of the great Los Angeles metropolitan sprawl, anarchy has replaced the discipline of a monopoly maintained for decades under the mailed fist of the renegade motorcycle clubs. Southern California, a nose ahead of Texas, remains the manufacturing capital of the country, with scores...
