Felipe Flores Velazquez, 58, was arrested Friday without incident in Iguala, the town in Guerrero state where the students were last reported alive in September 2014. Officials say they have arrested 131 people in connection with the mass disappearance, mostly local police and suspected drug gang members. Not long after the students disappeared, so did the police chief. Mexican authorities have said the students were picked up by police and handed over to a drug gang, which executed them and set their remains ablaze. But families of the students, forensic experts, an international investigative commission and others have questioned the official findings.
