Used to live in Monterrey in the 90's, and further up in the 80's, so am pretty familiar with the currents. Been hearing about those apartments' precarious situation for years--they undoubtedly are going to take a dive in the next few years.

From the news description you pasted, it doesn't sound staged. Hope for their families' sakes that their bodies are found soon.
