Mexican authorities are investigating the violent kidnappings of four Americans that occurred last week in Matamoros, Mexico. On Thursday, the Gulf Cartel issued an apology letter for the abductions, and handed over five of its members to local authorities.
The incident occurred on March 3, when gunmen kidnapped four U.S. citizens who had crossed into Mexico from Texas. A white minivan with North Carolina plates and several bullet holes was found at the crime scene.
The Scorpions faction of the Gulf cartel apologized in the letter for the abductions, expressing regret for the death of the Mexican woman who was killed in the cartel shootout, and for the four Americans who were kidnapped. The letter was obtained by The Associated Press through a Tamaulipas state law enforcement official.
Though the cartel has apologized, authorities have not yet publicly named any suspects in the case. Investigators are still working to piece together how and why the abduction unfolded. The father of one of the victims has called the incident “a senseless crime”.
The investigation is ongoing, and authorities are working to bring the perpetrators to justice. The families of the victims are hoping for a swift resolution to the case.
