Reports of hundreds of missing girls south of the U.S.-Mexico border are unfounded, according to the Mexico state attorney’s office.

Officials discussed reports of a growing number of girls reported missing when they met with the media Monday about reports of human remains found.

There are 1251 missing persons reports filed in Tijuana, one Procuraduría General de Justicia del Estado de Baja California official told NBC 7. Of those, 655 were women.

However, the official stressed that 985 of those missing person cases have been solved.

The agency receives approximately 120 reports of a missing person each month. That can average to more than a dozen a day, the official said.
