**Police Officers’ Disappearance in Baja California Sur: Vehicle Found in Pieces**
In a significant development in the case of two missing police officers, authorities in Baja California Sur discovered the disassembled remnants of a vehicle that belonged to the officers. The discovery followed an extensive operation kicked off on Tuesday, September 25.
The Baja California Sur Attorney General’s Office (PGJE) confirmed the vehicle’s identification. It was found buried in pieces at a property situated near the Ciudad Constitución to La Paz highway, precisely at kilometer 179+200. The vehicle had been used by José Gabriel Morales Meza and Yair Radilla Flores, two officers who were abducted by an armed group in the early hours of Saturday, September 21. Unfortunately, the officers remain missing despite this breakthrough.
To assist in the ongoing investigation, PGJE obtained a search warrant from a control judge, which allowed them to proceed on Wednesday night. Forensic experts and investigative agents excavated the area and located parts of the vehicle. “The PGJE executed the necessary investigative actions, and parts of the vehicle used by the missing State Public Security officers were found. However, the officers themselves are still missing,” stated the authority.
Responding to public concerns, Governor Víctor Castro assured that the investigation will be thorough. This assurance has faced criticism from search collectives who argue that the intense mobilization and protocol application seen in this case are often missing in other disappearances. A representative from the collective “Búsquedas X La Paz” questioned, “Why doesn’t the state apply the same search efforts for every missing person? Every victim is a human being and deserves equal efforts.”
Anyone with information on the officers’ whereabouts is urged to contact emergency services. José Gabriel is described as having a slender build, fair complexion, medium-tall height, with a distinctive mole on the left side of his nose and a tattoo of four lions on his left arm. Yair has a slender build, dark complexion, medium-short height, and a mole on the upper left side of his nose.
