TEPECOACUILCO, Mexico - Beside a one-lane highway in southwestern Mexico, surrounded by green fields and wildflowers, investigators combed a dump on Friday for any trace of 43 student teachers whose disappearance has haunted the country for five years.
A few dozen armed soldiers were on guard scattered around the site, which was largely overgrown with trees and shrubs. A ribbon of yellow caution tape stamped with the words “Criminal Prosecution” and a barbed wire fence prevented onlookers from drawing any closer than the entry gate. “We’ve now realized this is an important site, a very important site,” Encinas, the official in charge of human rights, said as he got into his car, without elaborating.
In a grim reminder of the prevalence of unmarked graves in the violent southwestern state of Guerrero, authorities have found 184 bodies so far, Encinas said, but none belonged to the missing students. In the nearby town of Huitzuco, site of another probe that Encinas said is ongoing, Marco Moyo said he was heartened to see investigators taking new tacks in the search.
