The State Prosecutor's Office located a clandestine grave in the Las Agujas neighborhood of Zapopan. The investigation has been ongoing since February. Its existence was only recently discovered when it appeared on the website of the Special Deputy Prosecutor for Missing Persons, on the list of clandestine graves located in the state.

The fenced site is in a semi-deserted area near the La Venta-Nextipac highway, behind a company that assembles electrical parts, west of Zapopan, within the Guadalajara Metropolitan Area.

When questioned about the clandestine burial site located on the Camino a Las Agujas, prosecutor Salvador González de los Santos stated that more than 160 bags containing human remains have been recorded.
"The search process is not yet complete, although no one has been found. On average, there were 169 bags, and based on the analysis of the remains found, according to the report issued by the Jalisco Institute of Forensic Sciences, they correspond to 34 people," stated González de los Santos.

Contrary to what the prosecutor stated, the website of the Special Deputy Prosecutor's Office indicates that 35 bodies have been found, of which 15 have been identified; 14 were men and one was a woman. The website indicates that the status is under investigation.

Work is being done at the site with machinery, as well as various tools and implements.

"We have dogs used to detect remains or corpses, rods are used, and ground-penetrating radars are also used to determine if human remains are still present. We're almost there to close this case," said the head of the state's law enforcement agency.

The grave was discovered at the end of February after a private company attempted to carry out construction work. While excavating, they discovered human remains, so they notified the authorities. Because of this situation, the case had not been reported.
