TIJUANA, BC - Apparently human bones were found at the site known as "La Gallera" that Jose Santiago Meza, "El Pozolero", would have left there when disposing of corpses with caustic soda.
Fernando Ocegueda Flores, President of the United Association of the Disappeared of Baja California, confirmed they found the remains and once extracted in entirety will have to be transferred to Mexico City to obtain DNA to determine identity.
The activist could not hide his joy when staff of the Hazardous Materials Fire Division dressed in special suits, began to withdraw the skeletal remains with the help of a few shovels. The discovery occurred yesterday four hours after they began the excavations with the help of a backhoe hammer operated by personnel of the State Commission of Public Services of Tijuana (CESPT).
Authorities of the Specialized Attorney in Investigations of Organized Crime (SEIDO) oversaw the work from 10 a.m. because they had to break and remove a concrete slab that was covered with earth.
The building is located on a calle in the Cioac farms section in colonia Maclovio Rojas to the East of Tijuana. The search began last Tuesday when on that day, SEIDO authorities dug at that same place and search dogs with human remains specialists began to alert as a positive signal, so they returned yesterday.
The military even monitored the work since yesterday morning, which drew the attention of the neighbors. Work is expected to continue tomorrow in the building that was abandoned since 2009 . As El Mexicano reported, Meza Lopez testified before the Federal Public Ministry, in the area known as "La Gallera" was the remains and bones of about 80 people. "Pozolero" confessed he placed the corpses by orders of the Félix Arellano Brothers criminal organization when he worked for them and drug trafficker Teodoro García Simental, "El Teo", when he was captured in January 2010. http://www.el-mexicano.com.mx/informacion/noticias/1/3/estatal/2012/11/29/633062/hallaron-huesos-en-la-gallera.aspx
