The governor of Jalisco, Pablo Lemus Navarro, assured that the issue of disappearances is a priority for both his government and for the president of Mexico, Claudia Sheinbaum, who has supported him since the beginning of his term. The National Search Commission has been invited to participate in the investigations in Jalisco, where three clandestine crematoria have been discovered underground in a site where skeletal remains have been located.
The Mexican Bar Association in Jalisco has expressed its concern about the high levels of insecurity in the region. According to the Secretariat of the Interior, by April 2023, thousands of clandestine graves had been found in the country, and the situation remains alarming. The request to reinforce surveillance actions has been directed to federal and state security authorities.
In Teuchitlán, an extortion attempt has been reported using the name of the municipal president, José Asunción Murguía, to deceive victims. Murguía has alerted about this type of messages and mentioned that criminal activities in Rancho Izaguirre have been a mystery for the authorities and local residents. Security in the area has been reinforced along with investigations into the criminal and torture camp.
Various groups have joined a national vigil searching for missing persons, and in Jalisco, a vigil has been scheduled to honor the victims, recalling the findings at the ranch. Activities have also been organized in other regions of the country to join this cause.
Possible perpetrators of criminal activities in the region are mentioned, such as Audias Flores Silva and Gonzalo Mendoza Gaytán. The crisis of disappearances in Mexico is considered a priority by various groups and governments. The governor of Jalisco has assured that his administration will carry out a parallel investigation to that of the Attorney General's Office and will collaborate with society to clarify the facts in Teuchitlán.
