FBI officials are now upping the reward for information leading to the whereabouts of a missing U.S woman who had been living in Mexico. According to the feds, she disappeared sometime last month from her home in the country and has not been heard from since. Her family, however, has been contacted by those believed to have kidnapped her demanding ransoms for her return.
EDITORS NOTE: Travel in and out of Mexico should be done with extreme caution if absolutely necessary. In recent weeks, there have been a wide variety of crimes including murders against American citizens and others.
Maria del Carmen Lopez, 63, was kidnapped Feb. 9 from her home in Pueblo Nuevo, Colima, Mexico.
“We were able to hear what sound to us like a recording of her pleading for us to please help her,” Lopez’s daughter, Zonia, told “NBC Nightly News” on Friday.
