Fifth Clandestine Grave Found in Mexicali’s Miguel Alemán, Bringing Tally to 11

Only a small slice of the 40-hectare zone has been examined, raising the likelihood of further finds.

Overview

  • Search teams confirmed a fifth site in Colonia Miguel Alemán, where earlier excavations uncovered 10 bodies and the new pit revealed at least one additional human remain.
  • A municipal K9 unit alerted to disturbed soil, prompting forensic personnel to secure and process the newest location.
  • Preliminary assessments indicate many remains may date from three to five years ago, with some possibly less than a year old pending formal identification.
  • Collectives Unidos por los Desaparecidos, Armadillos Mexicali, and Colectivo Sonora are conducting coordinated sweeps with municipal and federal authorities.
  • Officials report roughly 320 linear meters have been explored within an estimated 40-hectare area, and search groups continue to press for faster, more thorough identifications.
