In Mexico, correspondent Clayton Conn has more on the Ayotzinapa case of the 42 missing students and their families. (teleSUR)

Although the results of the analysis of the 16 human remains being performed at the University of Innsbruk, Austria, have not yet been received, in the view of the Attorney General's Office (PGR), "the lines of investigation have been exhausted" regarding the preliminary investigation initiated by the disappearance of the 43 Ayotzinapa normal school students.

The PGR's conclusions are that they obtained 221 arrest warrants, and 97 persons have been detained. Among those detained are:

• Some participants in the incineration of the students on September 26;
• Former mayor José Luis Abarca, who is accused of kidnapping the students;
• His wife is charged with ties to organized crime for her connections to the Warriors United [Guerreros Unidos] criminal group, but not for the attack on the students; and
• Five Iguala policemen are charged with forced disappearance in connection with the death and burial of 30 people whose remains were found in mass graves in the municipalities of Iguala and Cocula.

This was announced at a ceremony in which the head of the Agency for Criminal Investigation (AIC), Tomás Zerón Lucio, reported: "We have exhausted all the lines of inquiry that emerged during the investigation."
