Anonymous tip led to remote shack where abducted Americans were held
Authorities headed for the rural area east of Matamoros on Tuesday morning, leaving the highway and driving remote dirt roads looking for the described location, according to Mexican investigative documents viewed Friday by The Associated Press.
A guard who tried to escape out a back door was quickly apprehended, the documents said. He was wearing a tactical vest, but there is no mention of him being armed. But relatives of the abducted Americans said that the purported apology has done little to dull the pain of their loved ones being killed or wounded.
The cousin of Williams, who was shot in the left leg during the kidnapping, said his family feels "great" knowing he's alive but does not accept any apologies from the cartel. The letter attributed to the cartel condemned last week's violence and said the gang turned over to authorities its own members who were responsible.
