US Edition48 Bags of Suspected Human Remains Found at Mexican Gravesite
Authorities found 48 bags of remains in Zapopan linked to ongoing violence by the Jalisco New Generation Cartel amid over 15,900 missing person cases in Jalisco, officials said.
- On Thursday, Mexican authorities recovered 48 bags containing human remains from a clandestine grave near Guadalajara, after a search group located them four weeks ago in Zapopan.
- The discovery joins dozens of similar cases in Jalisco, feeding a national toll of more than 127,000 vanished and adding to more than 15,900 missing persons linked to the Jalisco New Generation Cartel, officials said.
- Because the lot was extensive, searchers deployed heavy machinery to excavate remains with support from the Guerreros Buscadores collective and backing from the National Commission for the Search for Persons.
- Forensic analysis is needed before officials can state how many victims were found, Blanca Trujillo said forensic teams must progress so authorities can determine victim numbers while ongoing searches continue.
- Guadalajara sits in Jalisco, a state long affected by cartel-driven disappearances, with thousands reported missing since the December 2006 federal anti-drug military operation.
