Mexico Prosecutor's Office Expands Search Operations for Missing Persons

Activists in Puebla reported that an IPAX officer prevented the placement of missing‑persons cards outside the Ciudad Judicial in Puente Moreno, removing them after the group tried to install the markers.

In Ciudad Juárez, a joint operation by the State Specialized Unit for Missing Persons, the Public Ministry and the Mexican Army uncovered human bone fragments, including a skull and vertebrae, during a systematic search of a vacant lot.

The Guanajuato State Prosecutor's Office invited relatives of missing people to donate DNA samples at a mass‑sampling event in Silao on 30 June, aiming to create genetic profiles that could help identify the disappeared.

Authorities in Puebla continued investigations into a series of shootings on the Vía Atlixcáyotl, visiting victims’ homes to encourage filing of complaints and conducting a ballistic reconstruction to locate the shooter.

Separate searches in Ciudad Juárez’s Portal del Roble area and in Parral, Chihuahua, involved prosecutors, forensic specialists and civil‑society groups; these efforts located three individuals who had voluntarily disappeared and found no criminal evidence.

Across these actions, the State Prosecutor's Offices reaffirmed their commitment to locate missing persons, support families, and advance forensic investigations.
