In a tragic and horrifying discovery, nearly a dozen dismembered bodies, believed to belong to students who went missing while vacationing in Oaxaca, Mexico, were found on Sunday, near the side of a highway. Local reports indicate that the bodies were hidden in and around an abandoned vehicle under a tarp stained with blood.
The grim discovery occurred in San José Miahuatlán, a region located on the border of Puebla and Oaxaca. According to sources like El Financiero and Periodico Central, the vehicle was found with body parts belonging to at least nine individuals. Among the disturbing finds, a bag containing eight pairs of hands was also recovered at the scene.
The bodies were reportedly discovered inside and near the abandoned vehicle, which had been concealed under the tarp. It is believed the vehicle had been parked there for some time, hiding a gruesome crime.
Authorities believe the bodies belong to a group of students who vanished while on vacation in Oaxaca. The missing students had last been seen in late February. Video surveillance footage from February 24 shows the vehicle traveling along the Atlixcayotl highway, approximately 90 miles west of the location where the bodies were found.
The gruesome discovery has shaken the community and raised many questions regarding what happened to the missing students. The bodies found at the scene reportedly showed signs of torture, and many of them appeared to have bullet wounds.
Idamis Pastor Betancourt, the head of the State Attorney General’s Office (FGE), spoke to the press on Monday, revealing that the authorities had not yet been able to confirm the identities of the victims. This, he explained, was due to confidentiality laws. However, local news outlets, including Periodico Central, reported that identification cards belonging to two of the victims, Angie Lizeth P.G., 29, and Leslie N.T., 21, were found at the crime scene.
The list of those reported missing includes Brenda Mariel N., Jacqueline Ailet N., Noemi Yamileth N., Raul Emmanuel N., Rubén Antonio N., and Rolando Armando N., all of whom were vacationing together. One other individual remains unidentified.
While the local authorities from Puebla’s State Attorney General’s Office have not yet commented on the situation, questions continue to mount regarding the safety of the region and the state of law enforcement’s investigation. The Mexican National Guard has also yet to release any information about the case, leaving the community in shock and uncertainty.
This discovery has sparked concerns about security in Oaxaca and surrounding areas. Many are questioning what steps will be taken to ensure such a tragic event does not happen again. The case has left many in Mexico grieving and wondering about the safety of travelers and residents alike in the region.
As the investigation continues, the families of the missing students are still awaiting official confirmation of their loved ones’ identities. Meanwhile, the local community remains shaken by the horrifying events that unfolded in this quiet corner of Mexico.
