This Wednesday, eight more bags containing human remains were found in the grave in the Las Agujas neighborhood, in the municipality of Zapopan. This brings the total to 54 since work began on the second site last Sunday, June 29, and 223 bags, including the 169 bags found on adjacent land since last February.
Maribel, a member of the Guerreros Buscadores collective of Jalisco, indicated that so far, less than a quarter of the land has been worked on, despite the work being carried out with heavy machinery.
"There hasn't been much progress. In other words, we were talking about not even a quarter of the land being worked on. Today, eight bags were found."
I think progress has been made. Well, the truth is, we only made a few meters to where we had left off yesterday, to the limit of where work was done yesterday, and I think this will take a long time, for several months, because it does indicate and hint at more pockets.”
He added that one reason why little progress was made today is because one of the two excavation machines broke down, so he hopes it will be working again by tomorrow, Thursday.
Sources close to the investigation indicate that 38 victims have been classified so far, 18 of whom have already been pre-identified through tattoos; none have been released to their families.
On Tuesday, personnel from the National Search Commission joined the search due to a lack of personnel from the State Search Commission and the high demand for work.
Members of the Luz de Esperanza collective and Lupita Aguilar, founder of the Familias Unidas por Nuestros Desaparecidos collective, also joined the search.
