WASHINGTON, D.C. (The Adobo Chronicles, Washington Bureau) – In the Philippines, “salvaged” is synonymous with extra-judicial killing. In many cases, the bodies of the murder victims are never found.

The word is equivalent to ‘desaparecidos’ in the Americas — people who have disappeared, presumed killed by members of the armed services or the police.

For the longest time — in the land of the free and home of the brave — it has been thought that there are no desaparecidos in America.

But lo and behold, a dumping ground for desaparecidos has been uncovered just miles from the U.S. capital.

An investigative photojournalist took this photo of a citizen disposal facility in Fairfax, Virginia.

U.S. authorities have been tight-lipped about this shocking discovery.

Many are asking, however, if undocumented immigrants (non citizens) are banned from this facility

This is a developing story.
