Obviously a place for mass murder, a dozen shoes discovered in the Bastion cartel during the search for missing relatives in Mexico

When a group of citizens seeking missing relatives in the Western state of Jalisco arrived at the remote ranch in front of the second largest city of Mexico last week at an anonymous advice, all they had to do was open the unlocked door.

Inside they went to work with simple tools – choices, shovels and metal bars – doing the job that state investigators had reportedly done six months earlier.

What they considered unpleasant state authorities and shook Mexico: dozens of shoes, piles of clothing and what seemed like fragments of human bone. Families from all over the country have already begun to access the garments they say they recognize.

It was a shocking reminder of Mexico has disappeared more than 120,000 And enough to encourage the Federal Government to take over a problematic investigation.

“Training base” for cartel recruit

The Teuchitlan ranch, about 37 miles west of Guadalajare, was allegedly used as a training base for cartel recruits when he was found by the National Guard Troops last September.

The authorities then announced that 10 people were arrested, two hostages were released and the body was found wrapped in plastic. The State Prosecutor’s Office entered with rovocopac, dogs and devices to find inconsistencies in the country.

But then the investigation fell silent until members of Jalisc’s search warriors, one of the dozen Dot Mexico searches, last week visited the advice.

They found shoes as well as crowds of other clothing and what seemed to be fragments burned bone.

Members of the search collective returned to the scene on Thursday, invited to observe the authorities while working on registration of evidence and asset search.

“A lot of families stepped forward to identify garments,” said Maribel, a member of the search collective, who spoke with a press outside the ranch and asked that he was only identified by her name for safety.

“What we want is to stop all this, disappear,” she said. “We hope that this time he will do the job the way they should.”

“Irresponsible omission”

There are more than 120,000 people of missing people in Mexico, according to government sum. Search collectives like Jalisc’s search warriors had to organize themselves to do the job that the authorities would often not work. They are looking for web locations like those in Teuchitlan, sometimes with government protection, but more often without, then they give their discoveries to press the authorities to do their job.

This time it succeeded.

State Prosecutor Jalisco Salvador González de Los Santos personally visited the ranch on Tuesday. He said investigators found six groups of bones, but it was not clear how many victims could belong. He did not give details about why investigators had not been able to find what the uneducated private citizens had done before, but said that previous efforts were “not enough”.

His Photos posted in the office Of all the evidences found in the hope that relatives could identify the garment.

Jalisca Government Pablo Lemus announced on Wednesday that the Office of the Federal Attorney’s Office would take over an investigation that she had been requested by President Mexico Claudia Sheinbaum. Cartel New Generation Jalisco is a dominant criminal organization in the country.

On Thursday, white governments rolled up an isolated ranch of squat buildings closed with a high wall and fields.

“This ranch served as a training place and although it sounds awful, really sharp, for extermination,” said the collective leader Indira Navarro, earlier this week.

She blamed the previous State of Enrique Alfaro for “trying to hide such a situation or discovery.” And she asked loudly that state investigators with technology and training could not find what her group did “with Pick, a shovel and a metal bar.”

The Mexican Episcopal Conference on Wednesday said in a statement that she was tormented by the discovery of the place, indicating “irresponsible omission” by the government by all three levels of government and another sign of the bigger problem of Mexico that disappeared.

In recent months, more mass graves have been found in Mexico. In January, at least 56 bodies were discovered In unmarked mass graves in northern Mexico, not far from the border with the United States.

AND Mass grave Detected last December in the suburbs of Guadalajara with dozens of bags of divorced body parts contained 24 people, the authorities said. Mexican authorities discovered 12 bodies buried in secret graves in the northern state of Chihuahua, Mexico. 12 more bodies were found in several graves for about two hours from Ciudad Juarez, which lies across the border from El Pas in Texas.

The same month of Mexican authorities said they had recovered in total 31 bodies Of the caves in Chiapas, the state is struggling with the violence of the cartel.

Collectives seeking missing persons Say that drug trafficks and other organized crime gangs sometimes use ovens to burn their victims and leave no mark.
