Activists find 4 bodies in clandestine graves in Elota, Sinaloa; release clothing details for identification

Search collectives from Sinaloa and Sonora have located the remains of four people buried in clandestine graves near the municipal seat of Cruz de Elota in Sinaloa. The activists, working jointly, have released descriptions of the clothing found with the bodies to help facilitate their identification.

The discovery was made on a dirt road leading from the El Roble settlement to Los Limoncitos. The "Jonás de Puerto Peñasco" collective from Sonora and "Voces sin Justicia" from Mazatlán conducted the excavations. Following the findings, the searchers used social media to call on families in southern Sinaloa who have missing relatives to come forward to the Forensic Medical Service (SEMEFO).

They are encouraged to provide personal data, testimonies, and submit to forensic genetic studies to achieve positive identifications. The State Attorney General's Office confirmed the discovery of skeletal remains on the dirt road and stated that work is underway for their identification. The activists' reports detail the clothing found with each set of remains, including specific brands and sizes of shorts, pants, belts, and other accessories, to assist in the process.
