Overview
- Authorities discovered two bodies on October 2 in a wooded area of Huauchinango near Texcapa and Nuevo Necaxa close to the México–Tuxpan highway.
- Officials say the remains could correspond to Adolfo López and Marco Antonio Sarmiento, who went missing after a reported vehicle breakdown on June 26 near the Puebla–Hidalgo border.
- The workers' CFE vehicles were found abandoned in Acaxochitlán with federal utility logos removed, a detail that prompted wider police and missing‑persons searches.
- The Fiscalía General de la República has taken over the investigation and the bodies were sent to the forensic service for DNA and other tests to confirm identity and determine cause of death.
- Relatives have urged continued clarification of the facts and investigators will pursue forensic results and witness and suspect interviews, following earlier detentions in late August linked to the disappearance.
