At Least 13 Bodies Recovered From Two Wells in Guanajuato

Forensic teams are working to identify the victims under an investigation that limits public details.

Overview

  • Authorities and search collectives extracted 13 bodies from agricultural water wells between San Antonio de Morales and Franco de Tavera, in a site known locally as La Fresnada.
  • Preliminary reports indicate remains could correspond to up to 18 people, with additional bones still visible and the final count unconfirmed as recovery continues.
  • The Guanajuato state prosecutor’s office confirmed the discovery and is treating the wells as clandestine graves under an active investigation.
  • All remains and other evidence have been cataloged and transferred to forensic laboratories for scientific analyses to establish identities.
  • State and federal personnel, including the State Search Commission, the prosecutor’s investigative agency, National Guard, Civil Protection, and state police, secured the area, which lies near the site of ‘El Marro’'s 2020 arrest.
