The final chapter of our three-part investigation into the abduction

\\n\\n

of 43 Mexican students in 2014 looks at how an unexpected turn in Mexico\\u2019s politics leads to a new investigation with Omar G\\xf3mez Trejo as special prosecutor.

\\n\\n

With the election of Andr\\xe9s Manuel L\\xf3pez Obrador as president, Mexico\\u2019s investigation into the missing students is reopened, and G\\xf3mez Trejo gathers evidence to indict members of the previous government for manipulating evidence and forcing confessions. We hear an exclusive interview with a man who was the victim of torture and learn that a former top official in the original investigation is under indictment.

Reveal\\u2019s Anayansi Diaz-Cortes and our partner Kate Doyle look at what current investigators are learning about the attack on the buses and what happened to the students who were taken away by local police. They visit Cristi Bautista, the mother of one of the missing students. Seven years after her son Benjamin disappeared, she continues to pray that she will one day know the truth about what happened to him.
