Alcaraz pointed out that the investigation and identification work is ongoing, urging patience to confirm the information based on scientific evidence.

The Secretary of Government highlighted that the Local Search Commission and the Subsecretariat of Human Rights maintain coordination with the National Search Commission, the Attorney General's Office, and the Jalisco Prosecutor's Office to exchange information about the findings. He also assured that his office will continue to provide support to families who request it during this process.
