Ashes of students “found” in the San Juan River?

Supposedly, this information was derived from municipal police arrested for the murders of the 44

students.  The body of one student, Julio César Mondragón, (right) quickly appeared after the attacks on September 26^th.  .  The new father of a 3 month old daughter, was brutally tortured to death by flaying his entire skull including his face, and gouging out his eyes.  The medical examiner reported this brutality was done while the 21 year old was alive.

There were no attempts to conceal the unimaginable work of evil, the body was not found in a pit, but rather dumped on a Iguala street out in the open making it impossible not to be found.

Why this one student, out of the almost 4 dozen kidnapped and vanished, why he was immediately tortured and executed, apart from the other 43, remains a mystery.  No detainee has given a reason.  It would appear that a maniacal monster fed his perversion, knowing all the students would soon die anyway.  

 

The photos of Mondragon’s dead body was then released to social media, where it was picked up and included in an early BB post. (  at original BB post at this link)

On September 26, Normalistas (students) traveled on two buses from their school in the town of Ayotzinapa,  to the city of Iguala. There, after transferring to two other buses, they were attacked and detained by the municipal police, who were sent on order of the mayor José Luis Abarca to intercept the normalistas,   because he believed they were going to interrupt a speech being given at an event by his wife, authorities said.

After the buses being attacked by gunfire, by municipal police, 8 people were killed in the balance, and 44 students were captured and detained by the police.  They were transferred to the police station of Iguala and from there led to a hill between Iguala and neighboring Cocula.

There, the municipal police handed over detainees to members of Guerreros Unidos (GU), who took them on a three-ton cargo truck along with another smaller vehicle, transferring them to a landfill, located in a ravine. (below left)

14 or  15 normalistas arrived at the landfill dead, having suffocated in the truck, according to the testimony of the detainees. Those who were still alive, they were ordered onto the ground face down.

They were interrogated, checking to see if they to see if they belonged to a rival criminal organization.  The detainees said they were then shot, and thrown into a ravine atop the trash and set  on fire.  It was not known if they were all killed or some killed while others remaining alive after being shot.

The flames, fueled with gasoline, tires and wood, lasted from midnight of the same day, to  the afternoon of the next day.

In this process of calcination, bones for the most part turn to a  ash.  The Mexican government claims this is what occurred.  However, the US National Center of Biotechnology, reports that some bone fragment, of the larger bones can produce DNA, and teeth burned at high calcification levels of heat.  Genomic DNA extraction is made possible by the protective dental armor sealing DNA within the tooth when exposed to extreme and harsh elements.  Teeth tested at heat levels of 800f , still provided DNA.

However, Mexico's Attorney General Murillo Karam says “although virtually impossible to extract DNA, he claims DNA analyses will be made at the University of Innsbruck, Austria.

Murillo Karam  said that the investigation remains open to identify all the human remains found in the dump and the Rio San Juan and until that happens "we will  continue considering them missing".
 

Really?

In a convoluted, confusing theory and explanation, Murillo Karam attempted an explanation of the search for the remains, attempting to explain how the remains were found.   At the conference, Karam, in an ultra insensitive move, displayed  hundreds of fragments of bones and charred teeth, which he insists were recovered from the landfill, and River where suspects say the remains were bagged and tossed into the river.  

"I know great pain will result from the information that we have obtained, a pain that we share with all in the family," said Karam. 

It is the most complete count offered to date on enforced disappearances. At the press conference, Murillo Karam showed confessions recorded video of those who allegedly killed the students, and those who made a huge bonfire with corpses, and tires, wood and fuel along of the San Juan River, in Cocula, village near Iguala, where students disappeared.

He also confirmed that some human remains found in a clandestine mass graves discovered after the disappearance do not correspond to the students. It is believed such graves there in women and people killed in August. 

However, there were 32 bodies previously discovered in fosas in August, already reported by regional newspapers and Borderland Beat as being those kidnapped and killed persons. 

Mexican authorities also told family members of students missing on Friday that they had found six bags with human remains not identified on the banks of the river.

"They told us that they found six bags with ashes and it is a new line of research," said a Sr. Martinez, who is also the guardian of two of the missing students, after a meeting with Murillo Karam in Chilpancingo, the State capital.

Martinez said that authorities advised them, that the finding occurred thanks to the confession of two criminals that led to the police and forensic experts to the banks of the River, located 22 kilometers from Iguala.

Family members, who described the meeting as "tense", rejected the information provided by the authorities and do not accept any identification of human remains until a group of forensic Argentines, collaborates with the research.

State and federal government agencies have barred the Argentine group of scientists who specialize in this field of anthropology. 

Also released to the press was a photo of Gilardo Lopez alias "El Gil", lieutenant of Guerreros Unidos,  who is charged with  claiming the group of students belonged to rival group Los Rojos. He gave this information to the now arrested leader of GU Sidronio Casarrubias.

Interrogation of a GU who gave information to a psychologist:

 ...They came in the bigger truck

                                    "El Pato and "El Guereque" said there were 44 or 43

"they were asked if they belonged to a group, they said no"

.....they all responded they were students

 

Well... ash and bits of bone

"here".....suspect led police to one of the dumping spots
