Missing Mexican Student Teachers Not Burned, Argentinian Forensic Experts Say

The missing bodies of the 43 Mexican student teachers were reportedly not incarcerated, according to the Argentinian forensic experts' separate findings.

Independent forensic experts, Argentine Forensic Anthropology Team (EAAF) argued that they don't believe the claims of the attorney general that the bodies of the Mexican student teachers were burned at a garbage dump. The Guardian reports that the Argentinian experts think that there's no enough evidence to support the claim of the Mexican government.  After a thorough investigation at the dump area near Cocula in Guerrero state, the experts found no significant clues that there was a fire in the area following the students' disappearance.

EAAF report also states that out of the 19 remains found in the garbage site, none of the bodies of the 43 Mexican student teachers were identified.  "It is impossible that the criminals were able to burn 43 young people in this place," the Argentine Forensic Anthropology Team said, according to Sputnik News.

According to the federal investigation held in 2014, the Mexican student teachers of Ayotzinapa Training College were killed before they were burned on a bonfire of tires. The findings further attested that the bodies were burned for 60 hours before the remains were thrown in San Juan River. Jesús Murillo Karam, the attorney general at the time claimed that the case was nearly close. The findings triggered mass protest and sent the former mayor of Iguala and numerous police officials in jail. It also rocked the government of President Enrique Pena Nieto, BBC claims.

"This is proof of what we have said and what we have always known," said Mario González, whose son, César Manuel, is among the missing Mexican student teachers. "'The historic truth' has fallen to pieces with this report."

EAAF report was the second team to conclude that the 43 missing Mexican student teachers were not incarcerated in the dump site.  In September 2015, the Inter American Commission of Human Rights hired Peruvian fire experts to examine the site and found that there's no evidence to guarantee that the bodies were burned at the landfill location.
