Mothers Demand Answers After 1,000+ Bone Fragments Found In Tlahuac-Chalco

Mothers from various collectives protest outside the Comprehensive Care Center for the Search for Missing Persons in Mexico City, Mexico, on April 17, 2026. They demand answers following the discovery of more than a thousand human bone fragments in the La Habana Lagoons, Tlahuac-Chalco. The discovery is made in conjunction with experts from the Mexico City Attorney General's Office and the Commission for the Search for Disappeared Persons. Previously, 75 human bone fragments were found in the same area eight months earlier. According to the Mexico City Attorney General's Office and the city's Missing Persons Search Commission, preliminary analyses during the pattern-based search between the Tlahuac borough and the municipality of Chalco, in the State of Mexico, have covered 41,219 square meters of land and 127,331 square meters in the lake area. Jacqueline Palmeros, founder of the ''A Light on the Path'' collective, and Rosa Isela Guzman Milla, a member of the ''Until We Find Them'' collective, state that the La Habana property is a high-risk area due to limited cell phone service, lack of security, and vulnerability to crime.
