The group Madres Buscadoras de Sonora reported that the Sonoran journalist Jesús Alberto Camacho Rodríguez was located in the Medical Legal Service (SEMEFO) of Culiacán, Sinaloa. The journalist's body was found on October 28, 2021, without being identified.
"We join in the grief that affects the journalism community in Sonora who have reached out to recover his body," the group stated in a communiqué. They also revealed that the SEMEFO in Culiacán has several unclaimed bodies, some for up to seven years.
The group identified several individuals, including Jesús Manuel Alfaro Toledo, Antonio Almazán Rubio, Juan Diego Álvaro Rodríguez, Rosario Francisco Amador Meléndrez, Felipe Ayala Moreno, Manuel Francisco Ayón Ávila, Raymundo Basurto Rodríguez, René Bautista Arenas, and Andrés Bernal Orozco, urging their families to claim the remains.
The journalist Jesús Alberto Camacho Rodríguez, 65 years old, was admitted to the SEMEFO after his body was found in the Las Flores neighborhood of Culiacán. Although details about the conditions or cause of his death have not been provided, his discovery has created shock among various search organizations.
Camacho Rodríguez worked for media outlets such as El Imparcial, El Regional de Sonora, and Extra de la Tarde. The Attorney General's Office of the State of Sinaloa has been criticized for its lack of efficiency in identifying bodies, having at least 81 individuals recorded as unclaimed.
