Authorities in Mexico have uncovered 12 bodies in clandestine graves in the northern border state of Chihuahua during an investigation into organized crime-related violence.
The skeletal remains were taken to state forensic laboratories for possible identification and to determine causes of death, highlighting ongoing issues with missing persons in Mexico.
Chihuahua has recorded 3,927 missing persons since 1952, as families often search for loved ones alone due to a lack of official support.
Across Mexico, about 120,000 individuals are considered missing amid violence and instability, underscoring the broad impact of drug trafficking and organized crime.
