Volunteer searchers now say they found bodies in a shallow pit in
the desert near the Mexican resort town of Puerto Peñasco. [The group announced official total of 42]
Ahora
Noticias Peñasco reports that the bodies were found in the desert near the
oyster farms that are northeast of Las Conchas.
Twelve
skeletons and one decomposed body were originally discovered Thursday.
Prosecutors
in the northern border state of Sonora said late Thursday that two of the
bodies may be women. Tests are being conducted to determine the gender and
identity of the bodies.
The bodies
were found by a group of women known as the Searchers of Puerto Peñasco. The
group is made up of relatives of missing people who investigate reports of
clandestine burial sites.
The group
reported that the bodies were found in a post on their Facebook page.
Because of
deficient police investigations, such volunteer groups have been responsible
for discovering mass graves and burial pits in many parts of Mexico.
Drug and
kidnapping gangs use such pits to dispose of the bodies of victims or rivals.
Puerto
Peñasco is also known as Rocky Point. It is located on the Gulf of California,
also known as the Sea of Cortez.
While not as
violent as some other parts of Mexico, Puerto Peñasco has been known for
Sinaloa drug cartel activity and a large-scale shootout between cartel gunmen
and military forces occurred there in 2013.
OMG !
ReplyDeleteI was just gonna look up the source I saw this am that said 9 bodies.......oh, just terrrrriblleeee, and they are always found by "The Rakers" or the volunteer groups which have now sprung up all over Mexico who look for their loved ones remains, or perhaps better said, put a face and some closure on their pain. Usually mostly women.
Los tiempos quando podias ir de pueblo en pueblo pidiendo posada no existe
DeleteHorrible.
ReplyDeleteCould this be the missing students ? Or just a coincidence
ReplyDeletePuerto Penasco is 45 minutes away from the border of Arizona. Not going to be the students
DeleteAny pictures of the skeletons/bodies?
ReplyDeleteQueso
Se le VA calentar la plaza Al mayo y su Gente ese aguila la Trae bien limpia desde El aggare con macho y la marina
ReplyDeletePorke. Esa plaza ha sido de CDS pot 25 anos
DeleteLos tiempos cambian
DeleteMencho no esta en Penasco.
DeleteYou don’t have this happening every day like you do in Messico.
ReplyDeleteThey have found hundreds of mass dumping sights for their murders.
Mexico, a government for the cartels by the cartels.
This is a great spot to hide bodies. There is nothing out there but sand. Just like Vegas when the mafia hid bodies out in the vast desert
ReplyDeleteSo sad, for Rocky Point and for the victims especially the families. I enjoy the beaches and the weather when in town but that is crazy and scary.
ReplyDelete-the guy who knows nothing
"The group reported that the bodies were found in a post on their Facebook page." ????
ReplyDeleteI believe the Mexican people do not believe Amlo will fight the Cartels, he will join them. I believed he was the new Saver of Mexico. No, Just another corrupt crook. Things r worse. I am wrong r right???
ReplyDeleteYour view on things can become distorted depending on what you feed your mind. If all you do is follow Mexican Narco News then you will start yo believe that 90% of the people in Mexico deal with this type of stuff on a daily basis.
DeleteWhen he's not writing poems, most people are unaware of the fact that AMLO is a forensic pathologist (a great one I might add). He's already been able to determine that these unfortunates died of natural causes.
ReplyDeleteWhat are you doing to help? Are you out in the trenches helping to find these missing people? What degrees do you hold that qualify you for the job of president of mexico... let us know what your plan to save the country is, keep in mind that battling the cartels isn't Mexico's only problem.
DeleteFunny thing is u probably make a valid point.
Delete@12;12
DeleteMaybe if the Americans weren't comprised 90% of the time by Mexico's corruption. Mexico would be safer. So truth to your question: America is fighting these cartels almost solely. Mexico's political/judicial system prefers to release these individuals. Rather, cuddle them while thousands keep dying.
@4:39 90% of the time? Really? What Americans are you talking. Maybe its 90% of the people that come to this website that are emotionally affected by what they read here, but, To say 90% of Americans is a pretty ignorant statement. I would say 90% of Americans aren't affected by what happens inside of Mexico. So stop exaggerating and distorting the information you clown.
DeleteI am Mexican who has lived in Houston for 20 years. Crossing the border in Hidalgo I noticed Mex customs officials very unfriendly and demanding more bribes than the past. This the way of the future.
ReplyDeleteMacho Prieto cleaning the plaza
ReplyDeleteWord is he still is alive?
DeleteI have a question I notice that when a person posts it says it has to be approved. What are the guidelines for posting?
ReplyDeletelook at the upper portion of the far right column on this page. see COMMENTS and click on hyperlink saying VIEW POLICY
DeleteThe approval process is harder here than taking the CA Bar exam
DeleteWhat does obrador have to say about this???? Nada he could care less.
ReplyDeleteHe’s writing a heart felt poem about it as I type
DeleteThis would be interesting for translation. Looks like a hodgepodge of Palo Mayombe and Baphomet worship. Kinda reminiscent of the Adolfo Constanzo alters they found at that farm in Matamoros many years ago.

puerto peñasco is a resort graveyard
ReplyDeleteThis should be a very big story but it's not getting much media attention, why? Puerto Penasco, aka. Rocky Point, is only 60 miles from US border, populated by many Americans who have vacation homes and rental properties. Economy thrust based. CDS controls the plaza, makes money selling drugs to American tourists and has a lock down on local media. It is also a transhipment point for drugs bound for USA. This story will be barely noticed even though it's a really heinous occurrence. I know the players, these graves are people killed by CDS in the local area.
ReplyDeleteYes it is a tourist based economy, don't want to scare away American tourist money.
DeleteThanks for the inside info Jefe
DeleteAlso CDS cleans Rocky Point from people causing trouble like thieves and druggies (seen it with my own eyes) to have a fake sense of security for the gringos. Gringos bring $$$$$ and that means keep the town under control. Sad but true
DeleteYes, you are correct
Deleteanother day in paradise
ReplyDeleteDisgusting and disappointing.
ReplyDeleteJust stay away from malecón downtown area...and you should be fine...weekends after sun goes down, you’re rolling the dice...also that highway from golfo de Santa Clara to peñasco...I’ve see caravans loaded with mota, armored cars...everything! Peñasco Can be dangerous at times...especially during Semana Santa!
ReplyDeleteIts crazy how USA news has different #'s of bodies found, it ranges from 12, 13, 23, a dozen... only BB has 42. I wonder why????
ReplyDeleteThat is your problem---US news takes a while, I adjusted the figures and added the tweets from the searcher group within 20 min for the last update stating 42 bodies. it was on all the major networks cable by the next day.
Deletegoogle it to find updated info
Mexico is a complete graveyard..... its not right, I was just reading the other day in Guadalajara bodies were under the floors and just left in some vacant houses, it’s just wrong...
ReplyDeleteThe United nations need to get involved, these people are terrorists.
DeleteWhy should the UNITED NATIONS care! When its Mexico's government that are the root of the problem.
DeleteCan't convince corrupt officials to take a pay cut from what they have been doing for decades.
WILL NEVER HAPPEN.
Cjng taking over on other cds plaza
ReplyDeletehundreds of families were in line in penasco a couple days ago to do DNA tests and hopefully receive news many thousands of families all over mex will never hear of. Penasco is a very calm place when it comes to tourists visiting or just locals who like to party and cruise through malecon and calle 13 late nights.Then again the bad ones walk by you everyday and you do not even know it.
Delete-AZ>Penasco>Culichi
"EL CURTIS" may be responsible for these murders.
DeleteSuch a tragedy that homocide investigations have to be conducted by citizens with little funds. Crime and murder in mexico is probably worse than the middle east..
ReplyDeleteWasn't this Macho Prieto Plaza?
ReplyDeleteHe was killing other CDS members before allegedly MZ gave him him up and there was a shootout and he died but the Body Disappeared leading to claims he lost a Leg but is still Alive
He has been gone for a while, young guys running the plaza now.
DeleteThose claims are true he didn’t die he was just badly injured and wheelchair bound for life now. New guys are running his line but they still give him credit and support him.
DeleteOnly 42?
