“Mica” for BorderlanBeat.com
This project started by drafting a post on a “New & Improved” RR Ranch that a reader found. While researching the property, I realized I needed in-depth knowledge of RR to vet the new property properly. The new research quickly became a dossier of detailed notes and homemade org charts. As the title of my new series implies, research became my obsession.
My Obsession of RR
In my new lengthy series on RR, we go way beyond the misinformation into the famous narco who leads a kill squad for CJNG. The first chapter comes out Friday night, and it’s called “The Backstory of RR Meeting El Apá.”
Below is some basic information on our subject, El RR, in preparation for the chapter 1 drop tomorrow. As always. thanks for reading, and I hope you enjoy the series.
