11 bodies of suspected illegal
immigrants found in rail car
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Eleven suspect
ed illegal immigrants whose badly decomposed
bodies were found in a locked railroad car proba
bly died slowly and painfully from severe over
heating or asphyxiation, authorities said Tuesday.
The victims apparently boarded the grain hop
per in Mexico four months ago and may have been
smuggled into the country, said Jerry Heinauer,
district director of the
Immigration and Naturalization
Service for Nebraska and Iowa.
Their nationalities were
unknown and authorities said
they did not know if the victims
were men, women or children.
The car had been latched from
the outside and there was no evi
dence of food or water inside.
Sheriff Tom Hogan said. He said
it was difficult to count the hud
dled bodies; authorities said there
were as many as 1 1.
Authorities removed the bod
ies Tuesday, one day after they
were discovered near Denison, 60
miles northeast of Omaha, Neb.
The rail car was sealed and moved to Des Moines
for examination by investigators.
The medical examiner will try to determine
causes of death, and authorities will then begin
trying to identify the remains.
Corinne Stern, the chief medical examiner in El
Paso County, Texas, said the victims may have
become delirious and suffered hallucinations,
severe cramping, headaches and vomiting before
They were
probably subjected
to temperatures
equivalent to those
inside a locked car
during the heat
of summer.
— Corinne Stern
chief medical examiner
succumbing to the heat or a lack of oxygen.
“They were probably subjected to tempera
tures equivalent to those inside a locked car during
the heat of summer,” said Stern, who is not
involved in the investigation.
Heinauer said authorities did not yet know it
the victims were being smuggled, but he said the
case fits the pattern of some smuggling operations.
He said he was told by
Mexican officials that the rail car
left Matamoros, Mexico, in June.
It had been parked long-term in
Oklahoma since then, before
being brought to Denison.
Julio Salinas, a supervisory
agent with the U.S. Border Patrol
at McAllen, Texas, said it is not
unusual for immigrants to cross
the border in rail cars. He said
trains are often checked by
Border Patrol and customs agents
as they pass through cities.
“Most recently, a couple of
months ago, we found 26 that had
been inside a hopper car a couple
of hours and some of them were
dehydrated,” Salinas said. “There were no fatali
ties. We do come across situations like that.”
He said immigrants take life-threatening risks
when they climb into a grain car on a smuggler’s
promise of freedom.
“There are some boxcars or grain hoppers that
can only be opened from the outside,” Salinas
said. “Once they shut the door they leave their life
in the hands of a smuggler.”
