Heading north to the border from Penasco this afternoon on Highway 8. At approximately 2PM, at kilometer post 35, my wife and I noticed what appeared to be some clothing dumped on the right (east) side of the highway. My wife commented that she thought she saw a man laying there, but didn't think that the person was sleeping. We continued heading north, and flagged down a pickup truck of Sonoyta Municipal Police heading south. They were responding to a report of bodies spotted along the highway. My wife rode with the officer and directed him to the location of what we saw. Turned out to be four male bodies dumped approximately 20 feet east of the highway, in plain view. Pretty soon the area was swamped with Sonoyta Municipal Police, State Judicial Police, and a PEI helicopter. However, no Mexican Federal Police any where in site.
After taking info from my wife, we were sent on our way. Interesting, that when we arrived at the border, there were no previous reports made to USBCI. A pretty brazen event, dumping bodies in plain view along the highway in the middle of the day. A strong message to someone. A very nauseating ending to several very happy days spent with friends and relatives in Penasco.
