Fifth Clandestine Grave Found in Mexicali’s Miguel Alemán as Tally Reaches at Least 11 Remains

Family search groups working with authorities used K9 alerts to flag the latest site for forensic processing.

Overview

  • In Colonia Miguel Alemán in the Valle de Mexicali, four earlier graves held 10 bodies and a newly located fifth site revealed at least one visible remain.
  • Municipal search coordinator Alfredo Hernández said irregular soil led teams to call in canine units that indicated possible human remains.
  • Officials report only about 320 linear meters have been examined within an estimated 40-hectare search zone, leaving the likelihood of additional finds.
  • Baja California Attorney General María Elena Andrade said most remains appear 3–5 years old based on preliminary assessments, with one or two possibly less than a year.
  • Collectives including Unidos por los Desaparecidos, Armadillos Mexicali, Colectivo Sonora and Madres Unidas y Fuertes continue fieldwork and fault authorities over slow identification efforts.
