OF A SMALL MEXICAN TOWN PLAGUED BY DRUG GANGS.
[Notes:Photo of Garcia at work to b-roll of police station to file of local drug violence]
A YEAR BEFORE SHE TOOK THE JOB--GARCIA'S PREDECESSOR WAS SHOT AND KILLED. THE CARTELS TRANSFORMED THE QUIET FARMING COMMUNITY INTO A LAWLESS NO MAN'S LAND--ONLY ABOUT A MILE FROM THE TEXAS BORDER. [Notes:photos from November press conference]
AFTER GARCIA STEPPED IN TO LEAD 12 OTHER POLICE OFFICERS--THE DEATH THREATS AND INTIMIDATION MADE THEIR WAY TO HER. ONE OFFICIALS SAY THERE WAS ALSO AN ATTEMPT TO KIDNAP HER.

LAST WEEK GARCIA LEFT TOWN FOR A SHORT LEAVE OF ABSENCE TO DEAL WITH SOME PERSONAL ISSUES IN THE UNITED STATES. BUT SHE DIDN'T RETURN TO HER POST AT THE SCHEDULED TIME. THAT QUICKLY LED TO HER FIRING ON MONDAY.
