we were analysing the evidence. it was just not matching the official story. protests erupted across mexico. a team of independent experts began their own investigation and the government case starts to unravel. the mexican government claimed the students were on four buses when they were attacked. but cctv revealed students on a fifth bus. we saw that the mexican government was officially stating that the guerreros unidos were simply a local gang, and we knew that not to be the truth at all. my name is mark guiffre, and for 30 years, i was a special agent with the us drug enforcement administration. prior to the disappearance of the students, we had received intelligence that there was going to be activity relating to the movement of illicit heroin proceeds coming out of this particular location. we got authorisation to conduct a search of that location. and there we seized many kilograms of heroin, money counters, a quarter of a million dollars or so in cash and illicit he
