The WOD is in memory of Enrique “Kiki” Camarena. Kiki was a DEA agent working in Mexico.
On Thursday, February 7, 1985, at 2:00 pm, Special Agent_Enrique Camarena left the American Consulate in Guadalajara to meet his wife, Mika, for lunch. Known to his friends as “Kiki,” Special Agent Camarena had been in Mexico for more than four years on the trail of Mexican drug traffickers. As Kiki walked to his truck, he was approached by five men and kidnapped in broad daylight with the complicity of Mexican Police. Over the next 30+ hours, Kiki was tortured and interrogated, which was recorded in a series of audio tapes. Kiki had been kept alive by medical doctors so that the interrogation could continue unabated. It is believed Kiki died two days after his kidnapping however his body was not found until March 5, 1985. Kiki was 37 years old and was survived by his wife Mika and their three children, Enrique, Daniel, and Erik, all of whom were under the age of 12.
During his 11 years with DEA, Kiki received two Sustained Superior Performance Awards, a Special Achievement Award and, posthumously, the Administrator’s Award of Honor, the highest award granted by DEA.
