Victor Tepec Velez drives a small bus (known in Spanish as a combi) through the streets of Iguala, Guerrero, Mexico, Friday, February 5, 2016. Tepec Velez's son Jesus David Tepec Avalos, went missing while driving a similar bus in Iguala. Jesus was 29 years old, when he disappeared April 30, 2014. Jesus' bus was found with the doors open and the keys in the ignition, his family hasn't seen him since. ÒWe just want to find him, whether he is dead or alive,Ó said Victor. He and his 13 year old daughter Guadalupe take part in weekly searches for clandestine graves with other family members of missing people. ÒShe (Guadalupe) is very preoccupied with finding her brother, the truth is, we don't have anything, we have not found anything at this point, said Victor, who feels an enormous guilt for not being able to protect his child. ÒMy son was very young,Ó trailing off and looking out the window of his bus. Iguala is the location where 43 students from the Ayotzinapa school went missing, in the fall of 2014. The attention of the search for the students uncovered many other clandestine graves around Iguala, where a turf battle is happening between rival criminal groups.
