Independent experts investigating the disappearance and alleged incineration of 43 Mexican students said Friday that they only received partial information from crematoriums, which they consider crucial to their probe.

The foreign experts from the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights said in a statement that "only partial information has been obtained from private crematoriums," which they say is "key" to the case.

The independent investigators have called on authorities to look at crematoriums to check whether any were used to burn the students who vanished in the southern state of Guerrero on September 26, 2014.

In September, the commission experts released a report rejecting the official investigation's conclusions in the case, saying there was no scientific proof that the students were incinerated at a landfill.
