Inside the mass grave, the women found 13 bodies on Thursday, fully clothed. On Friday, they found an additional 14 bodies, according to state officials. More bodies were uncovered Saturday.Orduño said Thursday it was too early to come up with theories on why the bodies were buried in a mass grave because they first had to determine how they died or were killed.
A second post from Thursday showed pictures of the women and forensic workers digging up the grave in the middle of a remote desert area, surrounded by Mexican Federal Police officers and National Guard troops. The Attorney General's Office encouraged the relatives of missing loved ones in the area to file missing person reports and submit their DNA to a national database so they can better identify the remains found.
Puerto Peñasco, located about a three-hour drive southwest of Phoenix, has been a relatively safe haven in the past few years, in an area that is otherwise known as a busy, and very profitable, drug and human smuggling route into Arizona.
