Summary
 In March 1989, 21-year-old University of Texas student Mark Kilroy traveled to Matamoros, Mexico, with friends during spring break. What began as an ordinary night out turned into a terrifying disappearance that sparked an international search and exposed one of the most disturbing criminal cases in modern history.In this episode of Dark Case Files, we investigate Mark Kilroy's disappearance on March 14, 1989, and the horrifying discovery that followed. We examine how he was abducted by members of a drug-smuggling group connected to a violent religious cult led by Adolfo de Jesús Constanzo.We explore the investigation at Rancho Santa Elena, the discovery of a mass grave containing Mark's remains and those of other victims, and the disturbing human sacrifices carried out by members of the group in their pursuit of supernatural protection for their criminal operations.We also examine the arrests, the role of cult leader Sara Aldrete, and how Mark's disappearance brought international attention to the crimes in Matamoros.This is the heartbreaking story of a young college student whose disappearance uncovered a much larger network of violence, drug trafficking, and ritual murder.
