Mexico A.G.: Bodies from Iguala graves are not missing students Posted: 14 Oct 2014 07:25 PM PDT Chivis Martinez for Borderland Beat As I reported over the weekend, Guerrero's governor Aguirre began making statements that some of the tested remains, presumably those of missing normalistas,  were not matching relatives. Aguirre went so far as to state, "I think some of the students may be alive."  This was several days before the "DNA testing" results were in.  Today the Attorney General of the Republic, Jesús Murillo Karam, said 28 bodies exhumed from initial mass graves in Iguala, Guerrero, are not  the missing normalistas, this was determined by  DNA tests.  "I can say that we already have results from the first graves found,  I can tell you that they do not match the DNA of the families of these young people.." The AG did not say which agency conducted the testing, or if federal testing was in tandem with the state.  This usually occurs in controversial cases. The remains of kidnapped and murdered American, Harry Devert were tested both by Guerrero and federal agencies. Also not addressed was the fact that, supposedly, it was detainees that gave information of the locale where the missing normalistas were buried.
