For nearly a decade, families in Jojutla, a town in the central state of Morelos, Mexico, have pushed for answers about the clandestine graves first discovered at the Pedro Amaro municipal cemetery in 2017.

Since the initial discovery, which was made by search groups, the Morelos Attorney General's Office has carried out four exhumation efforts, uncovering dozens of human remains. But relatives of the victims and volunteer search groups say the process has been marred by irregularities.
