How did Mireya Sanchez die?


Does anyone know, at the end, when Mireya Sanchez's body was found, and an officer says "I think she paid the wrong coyote to get her across", how did she die? Was she murdered by someone, and why? And what does Harrison Ford say to her relatives at the end?

it looks like in a quick flash her jeans were pulled down.
You see a shoe missing and the waistband pulled down for just a flash.

The border area is full of gangs that rob and rape illegals.

I'd guess, she was fighting it and he killed her.

I didn't notice the implied rape, god this wasn't a good choice of film to watch during a what is supposed to be a festive period

But then her murder alone was a bad thing overall as well, I know the other matter is a more sensitive issue but still...

It is never clarified, and I imagine that a whole bunch of similar real life cases remain the same.

There are a bunch of things that could have happened, like it was mentioned in the movie, she may have paid the wrong coyote to cross her to the boarder, maybe she was intercepted by a gang who raped her, and stole what little she had, or maybe she even ran into some rednecks that killed her just because her skin wasn't light enough.
