Recent events unfolded as civilian activists uncovered a cartel "extermination camp" near Teuchitlan, Mexico, just 37 miles from Guadalajara. Within the site, three clandestine ovens were found containing charred bodies, skeletal remains, and numerous personal effects of the victims, including a notebook documenting 54 individuals' nicknames.
This discovery sheds light on Mexico's staggering crisis of 124,000 missing persons, with Jalisco state reporting 15,000 disappearances alone. The camp, connected to the Jalisco New Generation Cartel, has sparked a federal investigation, leading families nationwide to identify their loved ones through the recovered belongings.
