In Teuchitlan, Jalisco, citizens searching for missing relatives discovered evidence of human remains and clothing at a ranch previously linked to cartel activities. Using simple tools, they found items that authorities failed to uncover during an investigation six months prior. This prompted federal intervention in a case emblematic of nationwide disappearances in Mexico, where over 120,000 are reported missing. The work of search collectives, like the Jalisco Search Warriors, highlights the ongoing struggle for families seeking closure and justice against powerful drug cartels.
"A lot of families have stepped forward to identify items of clothing," said Maribel, a member of the search collective, who spoke to the press outside the ranch..."
"What we want is to stop all of this, the disappearances," she said. "We want justice for our loved ones."
