Identifications in Camarena Case Put Momentum on Probe
An investigation official said there is no positive id of the body yet based on clothing. A later statement from Francisco Fonseca said Zavala Avelar was positively identified by dental records and by family members who recognized his clothing and a scar. Camarena vanished near the U S consulate in Guadalajara on Feb 7 and Zavala Avelar was kidnapped the same day in the same city. A coroner found a .38 caliber slug in the lung of the body believed to be Camarena and Zavala Avelar apparently died from a beating and asphyxiation.
