The search for a man who went missing in Tijuana in 2020 took a tragic, final turn when his body was found in the city.To prevent any impact on the ongoing investigation, details on how or where the body of Miguel Anthony Rendon was found cannot be shared at this time.
The victim was an American who was kidnapped in May 2020 while he was trying to visit his mother. Two years later, his body was transported from Tijuana to San Diego in a cardboard box.“It was a day after my birthday,” said Emma Carolina Medrano Gallardo, Rendon’s mother, in between sobs. “It’s like he was saying to me, ‘I’m here, and here’s your present.’ It was like, ‘Here is your gift, you got it. I’m here for your birthday.’ It was a gift that no one wants to receive.
Rendon was kidnapped from the Motel Parador in Tijuana, according to his mother. She said she was extorted for money and paid a ransom for his safe return. Regardless, the criminals did not complete their end of the bargain and Medrano never heard from them again. Their lack of communication and failure to return her son prompted the mother to create a search group in Baja California.
