**Local Authorities Discover Human Remains in a Hidden Grave Near Mexicali Airport**
Human remains have been uncovered in a clandestine grave near the road to the airport in Mexicali. The discovery was made by the Missing Persons Unit of the Mexicali Public Safety Department following an anonymous tip. Authorities swiftly moved to the location to begin excavation work using shovels and digging equipment.
Once the remains were found, the site was cordoned off, and the appropriate reports were filed with the Baja California Attorney General’s Office to proceed with further investigations. Alfredo Hernandez, coordinator of the municipal police’s missing persons unit, has confirmed that so far, a skull, a femur, and a tibia have been uncovered. Forensics will verify and analyze these findings for confirmation as human remains.
Hernandez noted that there have been multiple similar discoveries throughout the city. “We have other finds as well. We have been working in Virreyes, Algodones, Villa Zapata, and Islas Agrarias, where we discovered remains in various locations.”
Authorities intend to broaden their search in the extensive area near Mexicali Airport. “The region is vast, and we will not finish in one, two, or even three days; it’s likely to take several days, possibly weeks.”
Additionally, it is noteworthy that on October 28, bodies of a man and woman bearing signs of violence were found in the same area.
