MEXICO CITY - Mexico's national human rights commission said Thursday it had found a witness to the 2014 disappearance of 43 students who reported that two federal police and a third municipal police force were present when 15 to 20 youths were taken off a bus and disappeared.

The new evidence suggests two federal police officers at the least allowed local police to take the students away and may have even participated in their disappearance, said Jose Larrieta Carrasco, the commission member leading the case.

"The facts released today could constitute clear evidence of the coopting of municipal institutions by criminal organizations in Iguala, Cocula and, now with the information being released, probably Huitzuco," with the participation of municipal police officers from those towns in the disappearance of the students, Larrieta said.

Municipal police from Iguala and Cocula kidnapped some of the 43 students at one location inside Iguala.

Another bus made it to a federal highway leaving Iguala when lguala police in pursuit shot out its tires, forcing it to stop under an overpass known as the Chipote bridge, Larrieta said.

When no more would fit in the pickups, the Huitzuco police trucks, and federal police, arrived.
