Forensic investigators flocked in a gully in the southern town of Cocula, Guerrero on Tuesday, the purported site of the remains of the missing 43 students in Iguala city a month ago.

Attorney General Jesus Murillo Karam said no tangible evidences so far can direct the authorities to possible whereabouts of the remains.  He added on a press conference that it is better than mere speculations "guess, imagination or invention" that may cast doubts on the integrity of the investigation.

Four members of a group called Guerreros Unidos arrested on Monday led the investigators on the 25-by-25 foot-square dump site in Cocula.  Mexican police said the group is responsible for the disappearance of the students on September 26.

A total of 56 suspects are detained pending the ongoing search for the missing victims.

Families of the suspects stormed the gates of Cocula church over illegal arrests of civilians linked to the crime.  Expressing his disappointment, Pedro Mujica said that that the authorities are incompetent and desperate, that is why they resort to arresting innocent civilians.

Meanwhile, relatives of the victims rallied outside government offices in Chilpacingo, the state capital, taking over roads and buildings.  President Enrique Peña Nieto is set to meet with the victims' relatives in Mexico City Wednesday.

Jorge Luis Mendoza, a farmer, said that Guerreros Unidos seemed to have dominated the town with their unwarranted road checkpoints and rampant killings.

In response to the public's clamor, Governor Angel Aguirre resigned from post.  Meanwhile, members of the government's security council flew to Acapulco to discuss militant activities Rogelio Ortega Martínez, a sociologist and the city's interim governor.

Mexico's battle with drug cartel intensified over the past eight years especially with investigations showing direct relationships of syndicates to local governments.  Karam told the press last week that María de los Ángeles Pineda, the wife of Iguala's mayor, has been Guerrero Unidos' primary contact.
