Mexican authorities will reopen an investigation into the disappearance of 43 students in the state of Guerrero.

The official story regarding last September's mass disappearance is that the students were incinerated at a dump by a drug gang working with local police. Since December, only two of the students have been identified, and in both cases the families disbelieve the official story.

Experts reviewing the government’s assessment of the story for the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, have found fault with the official story. As the BBC reports, the panel of experts concluded that the government's assessment that the students were burnt beyond identification at a dump was impossible. Furthermore, the panel found that the presence of federal police and troops near the areas where the students were taken had been down played.

As reported in the Los Angeles Times, Eber Betanzos, a deputy prosecutor for human rights at Mexico's federal attorney general's office, announced that his office fully accepted the report by international experts.

According to Angela Buitrago, an expert on the international panel, said that the renewed investigation will be executed “with a strategy based on lines laid out by the group, including the use of technology, mapping of clandestine graves and other locations and establishing a path of action agreed upon by the families.”

Héctor Aguilar Camín, a Mexican journalist, summed up the confusion that has come from the multiple investigations, saying, “Science is not clearing up the doubts about the Ayotzinapa case. It’s increasing them.”

As quoted in the New Yorker, he said, “The argument among the experts helps to consolidate Ayotzinapa as one more episode of that Mexican specialty of believing what you want to believe; in the end, that specialty is to not believe anything.”
