Days after Mexican authorities were notified of a ranch used by the Cártel Jalisco Nueva Generación (CJNG) as a confinement, training and extermination center, a new property intended for the same purposes was discovered on March 10 in the border city of Reynosa, Tamapulipas.
Members Amor por los Desaparecidos, a private nonprofit organization that helps find missing persons, located the property at the Colinas del Real neighborhood, less than 10 miles west from the Reynosa city center. According to Edith González, president of the organization, there were at least 14 different spots along the property with calcined human remains and other personal items.
As reported by Proceso, members of the group also found bulletproof vests, high-caliber cartridges and other tactical equipment that suggest violent altercations took place at the property.
Despite the findings, González denounced the slow response from authorities to arrive to the property. "The problem is that we keep on finding bodies but prosecutors and investigators are not taking them," she said. "That has slowed down the identification process for all victims and increases the suffering of their families," González added.
The property is one of 19 such places found by the group so far this year. In January, another such property was discovered by another civilian group northwest of Reynosa.
Authorities and volunteers found there 15 different spots that contained human remains along with clothing items and steel drums that were allegedly used to cremate bodies.
Horror in Jalisco
On March 5, an anonymous tip notified authorities of a property in Teuchitlán, Jalisco that was used as the gravesite for hundreds of people.
The discovery was made by members of Colectivo Guerreros Buscadores de Jalisco, who found burnt human remains hidden underground in a remote rural location 36 miles west of Guadalajara. An estimated 400 pairs of shoes and other personal items were found by volunteers at the Teuchitlán ranch.
Along with the human remains,members of the National Guard who visited the site also discovered a warehouse with dozens of clothing items, backpacks and suitcases. Further investigations led authorities to find three cremation furnaces used by the CJNG.
Among some of the most disturbing items found during the search was a notebook that contained multiple lists of surnames. Members of Guerreros Buscadores Jalisco believe CJNG personnel gave each individual a surname so, in case of getting busted, authorities would not be able to identify them.
