From Fox News: For families in Mexico searching for missing loved ones, the grim discovery of what is being called an “extermination” site with human remains and ovens, could be their worst fears some true.
Mexican authorities are now investigating the site in the western state of Jalisco, first found last week by a group of volunteers that was believed, by the volunteers, to have been used by one of the area’s cartels known as the New Generation Jalisco Cartel.
Inside its iron gates were an increasing number of horrors, including cremation ovens, bone fragments, hundreds of pairs of shoes, clothing and even children’s toys.
“They’d see the shoes and say: ‘those look like the ones my missing relative was wearing when they disappeared,’” Luz Toscano, one of the volunteers, told BBC News.
The ranch, near the village of Teuchitlán, was raided last September by Mexican authorities who failed to find or reveal the discovery of human remains.
At the time of the raid, 10 arrests were made, two hostages were released, and a body was found wrapped in plastic.
After authorities began searching this week, they said they also found almost 100 shell casings.

La deshumanización e impunidad acumuladas ahí no pueden pasarnos de largo.

Este sitio ya había sido intervenido por la Fiscalía del Edo de Jalisco en septiembre de 2024,cuando diez personas fueron detenidas y se rumora que hubo un rescate de dos personas secuestradas,entonces el lugar fue clausurado,sin embargo, aparentemente siguió siendo utilizado.

La tragedia del campo de exterminio en Jalisco, la increíble historia de autoridades que no pudieron encontrar el crematorio, o quiénes acudieron eran todos miopes. Los otros campos de exterminio; en Patrocinio, Coahuila, los huesos se cuentan por kilos
