00:00News were revealed from the investigation into the first disappearance of 43 students
00:04from the Raul Isidro Burgos Rural Teachers College from Ayotzinapa, which took place
00:10in September 2014. Our colleague Antonio Aranda has a story.
00:16With a fresh look to identify clues that were not thoroughly investigated at the time,
00:22it was established that the owner of a funeral home had contact with members of the criminal
00:28group Guerreros Unidos to, possibly, use a clandestine crematorium in connection with
00:34the disappearance of the 43 teacher training students from Ayotzinapa in September 2014
00:39in Iguala, Guerrero.
00:44Some students may have been taken to funeral homes with the intent of destroying evidence
00:49through cremation. The line of investigation that had been opened years ago regarding funeral
00:55homes and crematoriums was particularly strengthened. A very important piece of information for
01:01the investigation is that Rodolfo N. and his family own the funeral homes under investigation.
01:07In presenting the most recent report on the Ayotzinapa case, authorities highlighted the
01:14use of three students' cell phones days after their disappearance as a new line of investigation.
01:22One of the first cases involves the student Jorge Antonio Tizepan. We have seen positive results in
01:27this investigation. The first person to emerge in this line of inquiry is Mauro N., a former public
01:35servant in Iguala, who, according to records, used the student's phone number between October 23 and 25,
01:432014. That is, nearly a month after the student's disappearance.
01:50They also confirmed that at least 17 of the 43 students from Ayotzinapa were indeed at the Iguala
01:58Municipal Police Station on the night of their disappearance.
02:05The reanalysis of Israel Caballero Sanchez's phone reinforces this line of investigation related to
02:11the transfer of some students via what is known as La Barandia de Iguala. Furthermore, there is other
02:19evidence that supports this line of investigation and contradicts the statement made by Jose Ulyssi N.,
02:25who claimed that on the day of the events, only six detained individuals had entered this detention center.
02:30The Mexican government reiterated that the Ayotzinapa case is not closed.
02:3612 years after the events, the Mexican government's commitment is clear to find the young people,
02:45uncover the truth about what happened, and bring those responsible to justice.
02:52Some of the parents of the 43 missing students acknowledge the progress made,
02:57but question why the investigation still failed to answer the main questions.
03:04Well, we've said that there has been progress.
03:07But for the mothers and fathers of the 43, we still don't have the answer we're looking for.
03:13We still haven't reached that truth. We still don't know where our children are or what really happened.
03:20President Claudia Scheinbaum announced that the investigative team will be strengthened with
03:25the collaboration of international specialists from the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights.
