At 12 Years, Mexico Tracks Funeral Homes and a Police Station in Ayotzinapa Case
· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
The tracking of phones belonging to the Ayotzinapa students who went missing in 2014 has led Mexican authorities to two new avenues: a possible network linked to funeral homes and the Medical Examiner's Office (Semefo) in Iguala, Guerrero, and the hypothesis that around 17 normalistas passed through the municipal police station before their disappearance. The tracking was made possible because criminals and officials illegally used the phones of the missing individuals. In a press conference to present updates on the investigation, twelve years after the disappearance, case prosecutor Mauricio Pazarán explained on Monday that the reanalysis of phone records from 2014 and 2015 allowed for the identification of 17 new individuals who had not been investigated. He also noted that it was possible to reconstruct communications among members of the criminal organization Guerreros Unidos, police, public officials, and private individuals during the night of September 26 and the early morning of September 27, 2014. 'Today we know who communicated with whom, how many times, and at what moment,' Pazarán stated, detailing that one of those connections led to Rodolfo, a funeral home owner whose family also operated the Semefo and had involvement in the municipal cemetery.
