Summarize this article for a 10 year old
Yolanda Ordaz de la Cruz (1963 – 26 July 2011) was a crime reporter who had worked for nearly three decades for Notiver,[1] the largest-circulation newspaper in Veracruz, Mexico.[2] She was kidnapped on July 24, 2011, and her corpse was found beheaded two days later in the neighboring port town of Boca del Río.[1] The crime remains unsolved with no charges brought and different hypotheses in existence. The general attorney of the state of Veracruz, Reynaldo Escobar, said that the investigation was considering the alleged relationship of some journalists with organized crime. Notiver saw these declarations as a menace to journalists[3][4] and linked the slaying to Ordaz's investigation of the murder of three colleagues a month earlier.[2]
