Overview
- Authorities and search collectives confirmed a seventh grave on January 19 in Colonia Miguel Alemán, bringing the cumulative count to 16 people across clandestine burial sites.
- K‑9 support led to the latest find, where six fragments were recovered that correspond to at least two people, and forensic teams reported no personal items at the site.
- January searches previously uncovered two graves on January 8 (two people each), a third on January 10 (five), a fourth on January 12 (one), a fifth on January 14 (an extremity), and a sixth on January 16 (three).
- In a separate simultaneous search, remains including a skull were located near the El Centinela cemetery in Mexicali, an area with earlier bone finds reported in December.
- Unrelated to the graves, police in Tijuana found a dismembered woman’s body in bags and a suitcase in Sánchez Taboada, secured the scene with National Guard support, and transferred the unidentified remains to SEMEFO with no arrests reported.
