Seven bodies were recently unearthed in a desert area near the small town of Palomas, Mexico, across the border from Columbus, N.M.

The bodies were found Wednesday by Chihuahua state police in two graves after an anonymous call reported the location of the victims, state officials said Friday.

Officials said animals had dug up several pieces of the decomposed bodies. Two bullet shells were also found in the site. An investigation continues.
