In total, 25 bags containing bones and charred tissues were discovered on Sunday in El Salto, in Jalisco. Research groups say drug cartels and other organized crime groups use ovens to cremate their victims and erase the traces.

Mexico has almost 100,000 missing people, according to the latest government figures dated March 19. Most of the disappearances were recorded after 2006, when the then government declared war on the cartels with the participation of the army. The country has more than 52,000 unidentified corpses.
