Authorities say 132 suspects have been detained so far in connection with the crime.
Relatives of the missing students joined thousands of protesters in Mexico City last month to demand justice.
So far the remains of only three have been identified, and accusations of collusion between drug gangs, police and military officers in the disappearance have caused widespread revulsion in a country where abductions and killings are all too common. The students from the Ayotzinapa Rural Normal School had commandeered buses in the southern state of Guerrero to travel to a demonstration in the capital before they went missing in September 2014.
One theory that it put forward was that cartel members targeted the students because they had unknowingly taken a bus with drugs hidden inside.
