Overview
- Investigators marked 15 forensic points at Rancho Sac Lol in Leona Vicario and have examined 10 that contained remains buried under cement and lime.
- The 16 recovered bodies were transferred to the Servicio Médico Forense for genetic, anthropological and odontological analysis.
- Authorities continue excavations at five unsearched areas on the property, acknowledging the possibility of additional findings.
- The operation is coordinated by the state prosecutor’s specialized disappearance unit with support from the National Guard, the Defense Ministry and Puerto Morelos police.
- Officials are probing the ranch’s ownership and who carried out the burials, and they report no evidence so far of municipal or state officials’ involvement, as local groups note similar clandestine graves in the region in recent years.
