I guess the bad guys are hopping our border, driving around, randomly scooping up young girls and then hot footing it back into Mexico.
The 18-year-old woman, whose name was not disclosed by police, was walking to a friend’s house about 6:30 p.m. Sunday.
A black van pulled up alongside her and three men hopped out, San Juan Police Chief Juan Gonzalez said. They snatched the girl, blindfolded her and took her to Reynosa.
The kidnappers began calling the woman’s family demanding ransom money.
Only this time, the girl they kidnapped wasn’t from a rich family. Once they realized there was to be no ransom money, they just dumped her out in Mexico:
The girl had no idea where she was, Gonzalez said, and because she was in another country, officers could not go there directly to pick her up.
“The only thing that prevented us from going out there and helping her was that river,” the chief said.
For about four hours during the night, authorities could not reach her on her phone, likely due to a poor signal.
“We felt helpless because we couldn’t help her at all,” he said.
It was the cell phone that proved crucial to finding her location and bringing her home, Gonzalez said.
“We were able to keep communicating with her,” he said.
Random people the girl encountered would not help, either.
“People that she came across didn’t want to help,” the chief said. “People are living in fear in Mexico.”
Maybe Obama will send some more troops to the border with no guns to do nothing about the invasion.
Yep, that’ll help.
