Now let’s go back to understand how everything began, to understand what happened in August 2006. To do that, we need to know who Roberto Campos was and the life he had built in Mexico City.
Roberto was born in 1972 in Guadalajara, Jalisco, but moved to the capital at age 22 in search of better opportunities. He was of average height, slim build, with a face that blended into the crowd on the subway—nothing particularly striking. He worked as an accountant at a medium-sized construction materials distribution company in the industrial area of Vallejo.
It was a stable job that allowed him to support his family without luxury, but with dignity. He met Patricia Ruiz in 1993 at a birthday party for a mutual friend. She worked as a receptionist at a dental clinic and had a contagious laugh that lit up any room. They married in 1994 in a simple ceremony at the neighborhood parish, attended by close family and a few friends.
They didn’t have much money, but they had plans—dreams of a better future. Their first son, Daniel, was born in 1996, and their second, Alejandro, in 1999. By the year 2000, they had managed to buy a modest house in Lindavista, a working-class neighborhood in the Gustavo A. Madero district in the north of the city.
