Mexican detectives found after vanishing during search for 43 missing students

Officials gave no indication of how detectives were found or whether they were freed from captivity

Two detectives looking for 43 students who went missing almost 10 years ago have been found unharmed, two days after they themselves disappeared in Mexico’s Pacific coast state of Guerrero, officials have said.

Officials did not say on Tuesday how the two federal detectives, a man and a woman, were found or whether they had been freed from captivity.

Earlier on Tuesday, President Andrés Manuel López Obrador had said that a search effort had been launched to find the two federal detectives, a man and a woman. Speaking at his daily news briefing, López Obrador said: “I hope this is not related to those who do not want us to find the youths.”
