Mysterious Human Remains Discovered in Mexican Border State Cemeteries

PIEDRAS NEGRAS, Coahuila — State authorities are looking into the discoveries of various unregistered human remains unearthed in public cemeteries. They were uncovered by human rights groups working to identify bodies in paupers’ graves.

The remains were recently found in Piedras Negras and Torreón, law enforcement sources revealed to Breitbart Texas. The findings are credited to the human rights organization Grupo Vida, for its work to identify the remains contained in various paupers’ graves. In the Villa Cemetery, the group was set to dig up four bodies placed in two graves, however, they found the remains of at least one more buried below the sites. Piedras Negras is directly south of Eagle Pass, Texas, and is considered one of the main smuggling routes for Los Zetas Cartel.

In a similar incident days before, members of the same group found 36 pieces of human remains, including skulls and bone fragments, at a cemetery in Torreón. The city sits in the “La Laguna” region–an area with a long history of bloodshed between Los Zetas and Sinaloa Cartels vying for local control. Breitbart Texas reported on numerous mass graves discovered in the are in addition to a cartel extermination field.

Editor’s Note: Breitbart Texas traveled to the Mexican States of Tamaulipas, Coahuila, and Nuevo León to recruit citizen journalists willing to risk their lives and expose the cartels silencing their communities.  The writers would face certain death at the hands of the various cartels that operate in those areas including the Gulf Cartel and Los Zetas if a pseudonym were not used. Breitbart Texas’ Cartel Chronicles are published in both English and in their original Spanish.
