In a special investigation series by Anthony Lucero Reports for AlamogordoTownNews.org on streaming KALHRadio.org on Human Remains Found at Border, it is asserted that the Dona Ana County Sheriff’s Office is routinely not investigating remains found. More disturbing this appears to be more common than not by multiple county sheriff’s departments in New Mexico and in Arizona.
Anthony Lucero conducted an interview with James Holman of Battalion Search and Rescue to find out more.
Battalion Search and Rescue is a volunteer humanitarian group that searches high traffic areas
and remote locations for lost and missing migrants in the Desert primarily focused in Arizona and New Mexico.
A bit of history on the organization,the Battalion name was chosen to honor the St Patrick’s Battalion: a group of Irish immigrants serving in the US military in the 1800’s. They defected and joined the Mexican forces after witnessing atrocities committed by the US military and suffering horrible abuses at the hands of their superiors.
