Mexico police find 45 bags containing body parts ‘matching characteristics’ of missing call center staff.

(CNN) Forty-five bags containing human remains with characteristics matching seven missing call center staff has been discovered in a ravine in a suburb of Guadalajara, according to the state prosecutor’s office in Jalisco.

The Jalisco State Prosecutor’s Office investigating the deaths said it has preliminary information that the body parts “match the physical characteristics of some of the young people missing employees of the call center.”

Seven call center employees were reported missing between May 20 and 22 in the metropolitan area of ​​Guadalajara, in western Mexico.

Luis Joaquín Méndez Ruíz, a Jalisco prosecutor, said they found the human remains inside bags thrown on a lot with a very steep slope.

Forensic experts have yet to determine the number of victims and their identities.

The Jalisco Institute of Forensic Sciences is working with the families of those missing to determine the identification of the human remains.

The country has been troubled by an epidemic of disappearances with more than 100,000 Mexicans and migrants still missing.

In March, after four Americans were kidnapped in Mexico, resulting in the deaths of two of them, Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador argued that Mexico is a safer country than the United States.

Kidnapping and human trafficking are also not unusual in parts of Mexico, particularly in border areas and Mexico’s overall homicide rate is among the highest in the world.

The call center was probably owned by a member of one cartel and this was a message to him from a rival cartel.

I believe you r29. Mexico with multi-generational poverty has become such a fantastically cruel place. The worst story I ever heard was of an on camera execution of a woman. I can't remember what the poor soul did, if anything. She was beheaded with a knife. It took 40 something seconds to complete. Nobody stepped forward to identify her. Her family, friends and acquaintances must have been terrified.

R32 there is a whole genre of news publication in Mexico that publishes nothing but they gory results of cartel executions, car crashes, and naked women. It was quite eye opening, and I considered getting one as a souvenir, but then wondered what customs might ask if they searched me upon re-entry.

Well, that's as logical explanation as any and it's certainly not to imply that these poor people brought this on themselves, but killing off an entire call center just seems pretty random. If you really want to target a bunch of people that really annoy everyone, target a Verizon call center. It's not as if they're helping anyone anyway.

2019 Mexican Call Center attack. That time they lived.

Police in Mexico have arrested five people suspected of kidnapping 30 call-centre workers in an attack that is believed to have been triggered by a business feud.

Three of the abducted staff were released by their captors shortly after being abducted from their workplace, in Cancun, “but the remaining 27, including one of the [business] owners, were missing for hours”, The Washington Post reports.

The hostages were bundled into two vans and driven to a house in the Cancun suburbs, according to the authorities.

Following the raid, Prosecutor Oscar Montes de Oca said: “Our investigation has led us to the preliminary conclusion that this was a dispute between owners of the business, and in fact one of the owners was among the 27 captives.”

The kidnappings are believed to be an act of revenge over a withheld payment and employee mistreatment at the call centre.

“Montes de Oca also said he would investigate whether the suspects were drug cartel members,” adds Reuters.

They were finally freed after police raided the house where they were being held, on the outskirts of the city, in Quintana Roo state on the Yucatan Peninsula. What happened?

Witnesses say that about eight armed people stormed the call centre, which sells holiday packages, on Tuesday evening.

“Cancun had long been spared the drug violence that affected many other parts of Mexico, until a few years ago. Since then, the city’s murder rate has spiked, and the notorious 𝑱𝒂𝒍𝒊𝒔𝒄𝒐 𝒄𝒂𝒓𝒕𝒆𝒍 was said to be moving into the resort,” reports The Washington Post.

by Anonymousreply 57June 4, 2023 2:25 AM

To make it easier to get the bodies out of the murder site, R57, and transport then to a dumping ground? Just a guess, I'm no expert.

But I have handled a few corpses in my day (legally and respectfully), and a FYI an adult human corpse is a large, heavy, awkward, and highly noticeable object. A little time with a chainsaw would make them much easier to move from place to place.
