Bodies Found in Mexico City May Be Victims of 1968 Massacre

The architect, Rosa María Alvarado Martínez, said late Monday that she was forced to keep quiet about the grisly discovery after men identifying themselves as police officers said they would kidnap and kill her son if she went public.
The three bodies were discovered in 1981 as Ms. Alvarado and a construction crew were remodeling a Mexico City hospital that had previously been a vocational school where radical students clashed with the federal police and soldiers.
