TUCSON, Ariz. (KOLD News 13) - Mexican state officials say armed men threatened volunteer searchers
who found dozens of bodies in clandestine burial pits near the Gulf of California resort of Puerto Penasco.
The Sonora state prosecutor's office says the "Searching Mothers of Sonora" group detected a clandestine burial pit
over the weekend and was waiting for investigators when a group of armed men drove up and told them to get out.
The office said Sunday that excavations at the site were then carried out with police protection.
Investigators found four complete skeletons at the site.
In October, the same searchers found a total of 42 bodies and skeletons in clandestine pits near
Puerto Penasco, also known as Rocky Point.
Drug and kidnapping gangs use such pits to dispose of the bodies of victims or rivals.
Rocky Point is located on the Gulf of California, also known as the Sea of Cortez. It is 211 miles southwest of Tucson.
