In Veracruz, investigators from the National Search Commission found three graves that contained human remains and plastic bags. At the moment the number of bodies that were found has not been determined. 

Volunteer search groups, which are generally made up of relatives of missing persons, have played an important role in the discovery of clandestine graves in Mexico. 

For her part, Lucía Díaz, an activist with the Solecito Collective group, said she was surprised that the criminals had taken the trouble to use the mangrove to dispose of the corpses.
