SAN DIEGO (Border Report) — The remains of a man believed to be in his early 20s were found in a shallow grave on Thursday in Mexico just south of the Arizona-California state line.
The body was located in an area where 11 others have been dug up by volunteers in recent weeks.
There are several groups of citizens in Baja California dedicated to finding the remains of people who have disappeared or have been kidnapped.
They often respond to anonymous tips about where people might be buried or where mass graves can be found.

Upon discovering remains, volunteers call police and the state’s medical examiner’s office.
At another site dubbed the “Narco Cemetery,” discovered in the same general area last month, volunteers have recovered 19 bodies so far.
