Mexican authorities recover 55 bodies from mine shaft

In Mexico they have recently found 55 bodies that were left in a mines ventilation shaft. They say that the site was used as a mass grave in the city of Taxco. The bodies were found around a week ago but was not announced until Monday, they say that a week long recovery act will take place. Of the 55 bodies that were found here, 3 were mummified, and 2 others were just skeletal remains. 4 of the bodies have now been identified. One of the 4 was David Bravo Mota, who was a local and worked as an area prison warden. With the other bodies though, they are having a tuff time figuring out who they are. They have now just asked for people who are missing loved ones to come to the State Attorney Generals office to preform genetic testing to help possibly identify the remains. Meanwhile, there is said to be another 10 other ventilation shafts to search for more possible remains.

Wow this is terrible. i wonder if they think these people have been murdered or if its just some weird thing like a grave robber who has moved the bodies, or a family of some sort put their loved ones there instead of in a cemetery? there is a lot of unanswered questions about his story and i hope to find out a little more about how 55 bodies just appeared in a mine shaft.
