In September 2026, simultaneous search operations in Baja California Sur led to the discovery of human remains in San José del Cabo and Loreto. In San José del Cabo, partially buried remains were located near the San Lázaro dam, while skeletal remains were found in the El León arroyo in Loreto. These efforts involved the State Attorney General's Office, the Mexican Navy, the National Guard, and various search collectives. By October 2026, incomplete human remains were discovered at the El Rincón fishing camp in the Bahía Tortugas community within the Mulegé municipality. The State Attorney General's Office opened an investigation, and forensic genetic analysis is being conducted to determine the identity of the individual. Authorities noted that this discovery follows a trend in the state where more than 50 clandestine burial sites have been documented throughout the year. On October 3, 2026, authorities in La Paz launched a gender-perspective investigation following the discovery of a woman's body inside a residence in the Rinconada de las Californias neighborhood. Investigators from the Feminicide Crime Investigation Unit and the Subprocuraduría de Atención a Delitos de Alto Impacto (SADAI) processed the scene at the intersection of Fresno and Arboledas streets. The body was transferred to the Servicio Médico Forense (SEMEFO) for a necropsy to determine the cause of death and assist in formal identification.
