In his horror graphic novel Gabriel, Jimmy Portillo writes and draws his own take on the unsolved kidnappings and murders of dozens of Mexican women along the Texas/Mexico border near his home in El Paso, Texas.
Portillo believes the gruesome acts may be the work of vampires and illustrates this theory in his comic book, which his readers believe too.
He says, “People will write to me and say, ‘It probably is vampires committing the crimes.’ You never know. Either way it’s sad. There are still women going missing, and it doesn’t seem like it’s ever gonna stop.”
However, the deaths may not be entirely the work of bloodsuckers.
Portillo thinks it’s possible that other “monsters” are getting in on the kill as well since authorities are clueless of the real culprits.
