In the north-central state of Durango, twenty-six bodies were found in a mass grave in a lot owned by an auto shop in a residential area. The bodies were discovered as of late Wednesday evening, but so far none of the bodies have been identified due to the bodies already being heavily decomposed. Four other bodies were also found on April 11, 2011 and the same week so far 116 bodies had been found in multiple mass graves near the border of Texas. Fifty-nine bodies were found on April 6, 2011 just ninety miles south of Texas. Authorities have discovered that Martin Omar Estrada Luna is allegedly responsible for these mass graves as he is the leader of a drug cartel that has been operating in the area for years. Last week sixteen police officers of the area were arrested for allegedly protecting Luna and his operations. Seventy-two bodies were also found in the area last August. These bodies had been identified as immigrants from South American who were in route to claim the United States as their new home.
