Through her account on X, the activist wrote: “Let's go home, son!”, after stating that she found the remains on Highway 26, at kilometer 46. The case, still in the process of forensic confirmation, has caused shock due to the mother's direct testimony, who for years led search brigades in the north of the country. “I hug your remains, it's all I have left.” In her post, Flores recounted the moment of discovery as the end of a search marked by physical and emotional exhaustion. She denounced that the body was not complete and that the remains were scattered, possibly due to the action of animals: “there are many remains left to find.” The searching mother stressed that it will be a DNA test that will confirm the identity: “I just want a test to come out… that gives me evidence that it is indeed my son.” “Today I located my child… I hug your remains, it's all I have left, it's what they left me,” she wrote, while assuring that she had fulfilled her promise to find him. The activist did not officially confirm the identity, but in a video recorded at the scene, she indicated that the remains “apparently could be from Marco Antonio”, one of her missing sons since 2019. Let's go home, son! After fighting against everything, against oblivion, against apathy, against the hard, dry earth from the sun that was always there, leaving part of our blood and skin, crying to remove the dust that blinded us, because there was no time, because I believed that… In the recording, shared on social media, Flores appears in an arid terrain, with gloves and holding a bone. The searching mother Ceci Flores reported that she located human remains that would correspond to one of her missing sons, in a discovery that occurred in Hermosillo, Sonora. Meanwhile, she announced that she will continue working in the area due to the magnitude of the discovery. The case once again highlights the problem of disappearances in Mexico and the work of search collectives, which, in the absence of responses from the authorities, continue to search for their relatives in extreme conditions.
