The death toll for mass graves discovered in Mexico earlier this month has risen to 174 after authorities originally found 166 skulls as part of the remains for people gone missing.
In an effort to identify the deceased, law enforcement in the Gulf state of Veracruz are using clothing to help loved ones figure out whether people they are searching for may have been placed in the pits.
Some of the images show tiny pants for a baby no older than 6 months and shiny pink sandals for a toddler after police found remains of children along with adults.
Tiny pants for a baby no older than 6 months and shiny pink sandals for a toddler are among the personal items that have turned up at mass graves in Veracruz
National Commission of Missing Persons posted online hundreds of pictures of clothing Friday to give family members a tool to identify missing loved ones
Veracruz state prosecutor Jorge Winckler said the bodies were buried at least two years ago and did not rule out finding more remains
The discovery of hundreds of the items was unearthed by someone close to the investigation on Sunday and the Associated Press reported that the findings were much worse than originally thought when it was revealed across the world Friday.
According to the insider, each item of clothing was either found near a body or cut from remains.
Pictures show polo shirts, socks, shoes, colorful boxer briefs and ladies' panties that families may be able to match to missing people however it's believed the bodies were dumped at least two years ago.
Photos include little sweaters with playful images of Tinkerbell, Tweety Bird and Pokemon.
The Interior Ministry said Friday that the body count had since risen to 174 after the discovery of 166 skulls was originally announced.
However more is expected to emerge as digging continues and the picture catalog is updated over time.
It's not the best way to identify victims but Mexico doe snot have a sophisticated system for this kind of thing.
Photos show multiple children's items, such as little sweaters or T-shirts with Tinkerbell

Authorities announced discovery of the mass graves in early September after having counted 166 skulls. On Friday the body count had since risen to 174
It's a reminder that the country needs proper DNA database.
'It seems there's animus to clarify what has happened. But the fact that photos have to be put up on the internet shows that there are no other possible ways,' said Carlos Vilalta, a criminologist with Mexico's Center for Research in Geography and Geomatics.
It's unusual for Mexican authorities to share forensic evidence from an ongoing investigation however thousand of people in the country are getting involved as details of the tragedy come out.
Since the government declared war on drug cartels more than 10 years ago it has been reported that criminal groups have held busloads of people in the state.
Some passengers have gotten off after being robbed but others were taken away.
It makes a change to the past where criminal gangs have been known to let many women and children free.

'We have reached a point where violence impacts any person who gets in the way,' said Luis Leal, a security analyst based in central Mexico.
The horrifying news came the same month of a bloody attack in a Mexico City tourist spot where assailants dressed as mariachi musicians and outrage over a wandering truck with 273 bodies from an overflowing morgue in Guadalajara.
'We are falling into surrealism, where violence doesn't impress us. And this is worrisome and outrageous,' said Leal.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
