MEXICO CITY, June 2 (Reuters) - Human remains discovered in 45 bags in western Mexico appear to resemble the features of several missing call center employees, state prosecutors said in a statement late on Thursday.
The Jalisco Prosecutor's Office said the remains found in the municipality of Zapopan were still subject to forensic tests to formally identify the bodies.
Authorities made the discovery in a ravine on the outskirts of Jalisco's capital city, Guadalajara, earlier this week as part of a search for seven call center workers in their 20s and 30s who had disappeared.
Authorities have been working to determine how many individuals the remains in the bags relate to, their identities, and how they died.
The state prosecutor's office said in a statement that the discovery came following a tip-off.
