Mexican authorities said on Wednesday the top suspect in the killings of two Jesuit priests and a tour guide last year as well as the murder of an American teacher in 2018 was believed to be dead.
The body thought to be that of Jose Noriel Portillo Gil, also known as "El Chueco," was found Tuesday evening, though DNA confirmation is still pending, prosecutor Cesar Jauregui told a news conference.
Portillo's sister confirmed the body, found with a gunshot wound to the head, belonged to the suspect, Jauregui added.
