What We Know About Chilling Case of Dismembered Students Found in Mexico
They were found Sunday March 2nd in San José Miahuatlán, Puebla, about 6.5 hours from the beaches they were visiting, in an abandoned along the highway Volkswagen Vento, according to Central Puebla Irreverente. The vehicle was near the border between Oaxaca, the state they were taken from, and Puebla, the state they were found in. So this is going to require the cooperation between 2 states.
Video surveillance from Feb 24 shows the vehicle driving along the Atlixcayotl highway, about 90 miles west of where the bodies were found, Periodico Central reported. Newsweek says the video surveillance shows the victims alive in the vehicle:
“Chilling CCTV footage captures the last known sighting of the group on February 24. They were seen traveling along the Atlixcayotl highway near the town of Atlixco, approximately 90 miles west of where the remains were later discovered.”

The victims are all said to be from Tlaxcala and were vacationing on Oaxaca’s beaches. One report indicates they all left Tlaxcala on the same day, and the wording indicates “together” as if they were all friends, but I’m still not certain about the relationships.
Most reports take this stance:
“The nine people reported missing are said to range in age from 19 to 30. They had all traveled to beaches in Oaxaca, though it’s unclear how many of them knew each other.”
From what I’ve gathered, it seems 2 of the victims were friends/traveling together and 2 more were as well, but it’s unclear if each PAIR of these friends knew each other — for a lack of a better way of explaining it….
At least one was a parent— a 28 year old mother to a 5 yr old and 3 year old.
Some were reported missing on February 27th and others on February 28th, so the video surveillance of them all together on the 24th confuses me. Some were visiting Zipolite, Oaxaca, and some were visiting Santa Maria Huatulco, Oaxaca— both towns/beaches in the state of Oaxaca. These 2 beaches are around an hour drive apart, and seem to be very popular.
9 pairs of hands found. 8 in a bag and 1 pair in the trunk, so all 18 of the victims’ hands were found. Bullet holes and signs of torture on the body parts.
The dismembered bodies of the previously reported missing females were found in the trunk. The dismembered remains of the missing young men were found under a bloody tarp in the cabin of the abandoned VW sedan. Some reports are saying some body parts were found outside of the vehicle. Not sure if that’s true.
A female named Brenda, was reported missing but later found alive and alone in Puebla. Before being found, she was last seen traveling in a Ford Fiesta with her friend, Angie, one of the females found in the trunk. Hopefully Brenda can shed some light on what happened to Angie, her friend, and the rest of these young adults. Did she escape, or did she and her friend separate for a bit, so only one was taken? Nothing is being reported about Brenda except departed for Oaxaca with Angie, seen in the Ford Fiesta with Angie, lost contact on the 27th and reported missing, later found alive. Can we assume Brenda wasn’t in the surveillance video of the Volkswagen? I have not found the date of when Brenda and Angie were in the Ford Fiesta together. Was it before or after the 24th, the date of the Volkswagen surveillance? Considering the date of VW footage and the “last seen alive in a Ford Fiesta” and last heard from on tbe 27th I’m confused about that footage from the 24th considering the location of the footage, inland & hours away from the beaches.
Others reported missing by the Oaxaca Attorney General include Raúl Lozano and Noemí Moratilla, both 28, who were last seen in an Audi at San Pedro Pochutla, a half hour inland from Zipolite, on Feb. 28.
So horrifying and sad
