Mario escaped with his family. Forensic anthropologists from the Fundación de Antropología Forense de Guatemala have been working to unearth the bodies of the missing and have recovered more than 100. They have also found the number of missing to be lower than originally thought, after many people were located in shelters or living in other towns after the disaster. /html/../gallery/large/international_007.JPG 82bc70b4eeb540142761bf873248ccde A parade of the faithful during the Procesión de Jesús Nazareno de La Caída from Iglesia San Bartolomé Becerra in La Antigua, Guatemala.
