Migrants & Suspected Migrants UIDs - Google My Maps
Here is the link for the google maps I have created for the migrants and suspected to be migrants.
I divided the UIDs up via state. Unfortunately, I was not able to add a layer for each and every state so, I put the states that have very few in the "Other States" section. Also sadly, I wasn't able to post each and every migrant on the map. Although, because I have been busy this past month and will be for these upcoming months, I will try the best I can to fit into my regime adding more migrants to the map.
Unfortunately, this map is not perfect perfect, but I think it is worth it.

Thousands of parents and family members have formed collectives throughout Mexico to help one another search for the remains of their missing children. In Baja California, at least eight such parent collectives have hundreds of members who are searching for lost loved ones.
The collectives organize searches and protests in response to what they label indifference by the Mexican government to protect or find their missing children. They also collectively lobby to gain the attention of state investigators about suspected clandestine gravesites like the one in Maclovio Rojas.

This is heartbreaking....but there are also angels who do care. Warning *very graphic*
El Mechanico was identified a month after his suicide. His name is Juan Antonio Alvarado-Rincon. His family doesn't want to pay for a burial so that's why he's still up, but wouldn't they add him to ClaimUs? Also, his cause of death was a neck wound.

Thank you, that was a really good piece. Not being a US citizen I had no idea of the scale of the problem.

The family of a young Guatemalan woman believed to be among 19 victims of a massacre in northern Mexico is urging the Mexican government to bring those responsible to justice.
State prosecutors in Mexico’s Tamaulipas state said there were at least two Guatemalans among the bodies found. The attorney general’s office said in a statement that investigators had so far genetically identified four of the dead with the aid of their families.
Two were Guatemalans and two were Mexicans, the office said, without giving the names of the people. Some Guatemalan families had said they feared loved ones trying to migrate to the US were among those killed in Tamaulipas.
Authorities said preliminary findings suggested that 16 of the bodies were male, one was female, and two were still unclear because they were so badly burned.
Paola Damaris Zacarias, 22, from the small Guatemalan town of Catarina near the border with Mexico, is suspected to have been among those who died.
Paola’s father, Gerardo Zacarias, said the family had given DNA samples in the hope that investigators can identify the remains found in Tamaulipas, an often dangerous region where migrants have previously fallen victim to ruthless drug gangs.
Hector Zacarias was disconsolate.
“These are young people with goals, who were battling to get ahead in the world,” he said. “But unfortunately, they fell into the hands of people with no heart, no mercy.”

Paola Damaris Zacarias, 22, from the small Guatemalan town of Catarina near the border with Mexico, is suspected to have been among those who died, her grieving family told Reuters.
“We want justice, an investigation that gets right to the bottom of who was responsible,” her brother Hector Zacarias said in an interview on Friday. “I ask the Mexican authorities to look into this, to find out the truth, and what motivated it.”
“This has caused us great sorrow.”

It would be great if there could be a subforum in the UID forum for this project! Mexico has such a high population and it appears that they have a lot of missing persons and unidentified decedents, so that could help.

10 more bodies found at mass grave in Rocky Point, bringing total to 58
Ten more bodies were discovered buried in Rocky Point, the Attorney General’s Office in the Mexican state of Sonora announced Saturday. The discovery brings the total number of human remains recently uncovered in the area to 58.
Forty-two bodies were initially discovered in a mass grave near the beach resort town approximately 200 miles from Phoenix. Last weekend, the group Searching Mothers of Sonora said it discovered six additional bodies and that armed men forced them to abandon their search.
On Saturday, experts from the attorney general’s Scientific Forensic Intelligence Lab, accompanied by staff from the Mexican Association for Clinical Research, completed the excavations in five graves.
The 10 newly-discovered sets of human remains appear to be complete bodies.
Lupita Orduño, spokeswoman for the Sonora Attorney General's Office, has previously said it was too early to come up with theories on why the bodies were buried in a mass grave because they first had to determine how they died or were killed.
Anyone who believes a family member of theirs is among the dead may make a complaint and complete a DNA test at one of the Attorney General’s Departments of Expert Services. These are located in the towns of San Luis Rio Colorado, Caborca, Nogales, Agua Prieta, Hermosillo, Guaymas, Ciudad Obregón and Navojoa.
It is crucial for families to present official identification and at least two direct family members, such as parents, children or siblings.

A new case was added today to NAMUS - seems very identifiable, this young man had a phone with a phone number on him. The area code is for southeastern Arizona.

520-345-6109 Free Information | We Find Callers It's a number in Tucson, Arizona if I'm correct. I think LE checked the number and didn't get any wiser?

In Mexico, authorities have identified the remains of nine other victims — all Guatemalan — who were among 19 people killed in a massacre in the northern state of Tamaulipas. Of the 16 victims identified so far, two were Mexican and 14 Guatemalan. The 19 bodies were found shot and charred in a town near the U.S.-Mexico border in January. A dozen Mexican state police were arrested last week for their possible involvement in the massacre.
