Overview
- The site in La Curva, Xalisco, has been processed by the Nayarit prosecutor’s office since Saturday, October 3, and work continues with search groups and forensic teams.
- Investigators recovered a makeshift incineration oven, burned bone fragments, clothing and a clandestine grave at the property.
- The prosecutor says the oven was used with diesel, gasoline and soap to burn bodies and that some fragments were later dumped in a nearby stream.
- The National Search Commission sent a technical team to reinforce inspections and families’ search groups are participating while genetic testing and pericial analysis proceed.
- Authorities have not released a victim count or identifications and officials warn that carbonized bone fragments make DNA matches difficult, a problem that echoes the Rancho Izaguirre investigations and the wider disappearance crisis in Mexico.
