I am concerned about the small round building slightly northwest of the main facility visible on Google Earth. It's not in your pictures because it's a little too far away from the main facility. It looks like a partially underground structure and seems to have a round hole or chimney in the roof. It's connected to CECOT by the roadways and looks like it may be part of the facility.

The specific coordinates are 13.537686, -88.810061

If you are using Skywatch there is Pleiades-Neo-HD15 15cm resolution for April 14th, March 19th, and March 11th 2025. There are earlier dates available for this source but they predate the construction of the facility. I would take a look at your filters. If your sort by highest price first these will show up as they are $40 per sqkm or $1000 minimum purchase.

As for the Maxar I do not beleive they have done any 15cm collection in the area of interest before they have built the facility.

Man...... Yeah I don't think I can spring for that. The other images were $125 each. I will happily contribute if others want to go in on it with me

You need to use the Very High Resolution - 15cm to see a body. The Pleiades-Neo-HD15 can deliver this resolution and you can find it at https://explore.skywatch.com/

I was able to find Maxar 15cm imagery from February 22, 2024. I am hoping to raise the funds to purchase it this week.

Just an update... we did receive a very generous contribution that we are using to acquire imagery. 3 images at the 15cm resolution. Long story short, there isn't any good 15cm imagery from 2024. So we are obtaining images from November 2023, March 2025... and potentially one from before construction began (to see how the surroundings have changed) or post-construction just before it opened.

Is it just me or is the pile seemingly gone in this new pic? i can't quite zoom in as close as on google earth so it's hard to tell but it definitely looks missing now.

The image we've been seeing from Google Earththat looks like blood and bodies is from March 2024.

I'm in the process of acquiring that one as well.... Same high-res format. We need some answers.

I just updated the post to include a link to the March 2024 images at the very top.

I'm using my phone so I can't see anything special but the imagery of it really makes it feel like a mass production farm.

Or it looks like something that should never happen again
