Fernanda Carrera is searching for her grandfather among 383 bodies from the Plenitud crematorium in Ciudad Juarez. Authorities discovered the bodies in poor conditions, some dating back to 2020, due to the crematorium's operational failures. Local funeral homes provided families with fake ashes made of dirt and stones. Carrera provided identifying details to the State Attorney General's Office, yet despite a potential match, her family remains without confirmation of their grandfather's remains. Experts have analyzed 323 bodies with few identifications made, leaving many families in limbo.
Fernanda Carrera is searching for her grandfather, Jose de la Cruz Carrera, among 383 bodies recovered from the Plenitud crematorium. Authorities found the bodies in unsanitary conditions, some dating back to 2020, with a non-functional furnace and no utilities, and local funeral homes delivered fake ashes to grieving families.
The State Attorney General's Office informed Carrera's family there was a body matching her grandfather's description, but no confirmation or delivery of remains has occurred. Families share a limbo, hoping among the unidentified bodies that a loved one is among them.
Out of the 383 bodies recovered, experts have analyzed 323, started a hydration process on 133 for fingerprint identification, fully identified six bodies, and have probable names for 67. No bodies have been delivered to families since the scandal erupted.
Fernanda and her family provided identifying information, including photos, clothing, and medical markers like a fractured finger and dental plates. Despite matching characteristics, they await confirmation, living in uncertainty alongside other families.
