franco mora, a peruvian forensic expert is leading the inquiry.he was asked by juana solis to exhume the remains that the state gave her almost two years ago, when they found the body along with others in a mass grave. officials told her the remains were that of her daughter - brenda damaris. she was 25 when she went missing. juana says she became suspicious after officials suggested that she cremate the bones immediately. the remains lie in a grave marked by a cross with no name. the results won't be known for months. the remains will be compared to dna samples from the family. but resolving these cases through mexico's justice system is rare. and human rights activists we spoke to believe change can only come from outside pressure. >> international pressure is very hard to obtain in a country like mexico that is having an open arms policy towards the most powerful private sector oligopolies in the world. from europe, the us canada mining companies oil companies - so you don't see that international pressure. the most powerful enterprises in the
