Nearly a dozen dismembered bodies, allegedly belonging to missing students vacationing in Oaxaca, Mexico, were found on Sunday near the side of a highway, according to local reports.

The body parts from at least nine people were found inside and nearby an abandoned car hidden under a blood-covered tarp, according to reports from El Financiero and Periodico Central. 

A bag containing eight pairs of hands was also located.

The car was allegedly found in San José Miahuatlán, on the border of Puebla and Oaxaca, according to El Financiero. 

Idamis Pastor Betancourt, head of the State Attorney General’s Office (FGE) said during a press conference on Monday that he could not identify the bodies “due to confidentiality.”

However, Periodico Central reported ID cards were found at the scene matching missing people Angie Lizeth P.G., 29, and Leslie N.T., 21.

They are believed to be Angie Lizeth Perez Garcia and Lesly Noya Trejo, outlets reported.

Puebla’s State Attorney General’s Office could not be reached for comment.
