...believing they were missing for days and days. It's been a continuous series of lies, and other inquiries were not given access to certain information," he says. And he's still not confident the latest inquiry will result in convictions. "We don't know if the suspects will ever be extradited, but a solution might be that they have international arrest warrants so they can't travel around the world, which they do with impunity," he says...
