“They would see the shoes and said: ‘Those seem who wore my missing relative when they disappeared,” said Luz Toscano, one of the volunteers, BBC News.
The Rancho, near the town of Teuchitlán, was raided last September by Mexican authorities who could not find or reveal the discovery of human remains.
At the time of the raid, 10 arrests were made, two hostages were released and a body wrapped in plastic was found.
After the authorities began to search this week, they said they also found almost 100 housings.
