One cannot help but feel outraged as they read about not just the harrowing experiences the hostages went through, but also the fact that the cartel has tortured and killed them even after ransom was paid by their loved ones. Breitbart chillingly reports:
“One of the most shocking cases deals with the kidnapping of 50-year-old Sonia Gonzalez, a successful business woman with an impeccable track record. She was kidnapped and tortured. The family was asked to pay a large ransom but the money did not guarantee her safety as the Pena Gonzalez family continues to mourn their loved one.
Two other families who have asked to remain unnamed are in a similar situation as they await for the return of their loved ones — law abiding businessmen also kidnapped by cartel gunmen.
The most recent kidnapping deals with the wife and daughter of union leader Juan Villafuerte Morales. Villafuerte is the current leader of a powerful union of manufacturing plant workers in this city. Cartel gunmen kidnapped the man’s family out of their house in the Villa del Parque neighborhood on the city’s east side.”
According to information provided to Breitbart Texas by individuals close to the family the kidnappers broke into their house on Wednesday shortly after 7 a.m. They took the woman and her daughter. In this particular case, authorities responded by deploying a massive search and rescue operation that included helicopters and military troops on the ground. The effort appears to have failed. By noon, Villafuerte had received a large ransom demand from the kidnappers. About 12 hours after the kidnapping, both the woman and her child were released and the family went into hiding on the U.S. side of the border in Brownsville.
Let’s hope the remaining hostages make it out okay and that the Mexican government puts these thugs in their place.
