They hide crimes and bury the possibility of justice

Clandestine graves inside homes or under concrete, corpses in canals, mutilated people and even illegal graves inside cemeteries, This is how criminals seek to hide homicides and bury the possibility of justice.

According to the security researcher at the University of Guadalajara (UdeG), Rubén Ortega Montes, the crime methods not only do they cause pain in societybut they cause impunity y crisis like the forensic.

“We could tell you that criminals use chaos theory. When you cause chaos, the organized ones are the ones who come out best in that chaos, while everyone is fighting, their company is working for them.“he explained.

On August 16, the Madres Buscadoras de Jalisco collective located human remains in an area without graves within the Pantheon of San Sebastianitoin Tlaquepaque.

While relatives of missing people insist that they are victims of homicide, because they are blindfolded or tied up, the Prosecutor’s Office assured that it is also investigating movements to resell graves.

Another way that criminals have found is leaving the corpses of their victims in canals that run through part of the Guadalajara Metropolitan Areabecause in this way it is not discovered where the murder occurred.

MURAL published that between March 15 and December 28, 2024 there were six bodies located in the Nardo Street canal and its surroundings in El Salto.

Likewise, in February 2022, with the arrival of the Mothers Searchers of Sonora collective to Jalisco, relatives of missing people found graves in houses in Lomas del Sur, Villas of San Sebastian y Chulavistain Tlajomulco; The bodies were in the patios and the searchers had to break concrete to get them out.

Another way is to disappear the bodies in acid, as happened – according to the Jalisco Prosecutor’s Office – with the film students Marco Francisco García Ávalos, Jesús Daniel Díaz García and Salomón Aceves Gastélum, deprived of their liberty on March 19, 2018.

Ivonne Gutiérrez received anonymous information that the body of her daughter’s fatherJosé Alfredo Carrillo Orozco, could be in La Quemada Dam, in Magdalena, where crocodiles were placed.

Criminals have also left dead dogs near bodies to complicate their location.

A similar practice happened in Las Agujas, in Zapopan, where criminals used a space under construction to bury more than 270 bags with the remains of at least 60 people. The site was discovered in February.

For researcher Rubén Ortega Montes, impunity in these crimes and the lack of investigation by the authorities contribute to these practices.

“How are you going to confront the underworld if you don’t think ahead of time about what they can do? It is not only intelligence, it is information, it also has to do with how to act, how to face them, how to confront them, how to foresee the way in which they are going to act to be able to be, at least, five minutes ahead of each action.“, he explained.
