Tennessee mother and 2 yr old feared kidnapped in Matamoros, Tamaulipas Posted: 09 Jan 2015 02:24 PM PST by lucio using material from el manana and face book A search is underway for two American citizens believed to have been kidnapped while in the border city of Matamoros, México.    Matamoros is the location of  the last verifiable sighting. Tennessee residents, twenty-four year-old Kelly Jean Shumake and her two year-old daughter went missing, on December 30th. Family members have filed a report with  police, of  the  disappearance,  prompting a multi-agency investigation.  The family traveled to Brownsville, then to Matamoros, to distribute posters and file missing person's reports there. J.J. Treviño,  Brownsville police spokesman, confirmed that a complaint was received and filed regarding  the search for an American woman and her child, and he confirmed a complaint was also filed  in the city of Matamoros, Tamaulipas. "We cannot do much in these cases, it isn't  under our jurisdiction, so this limits us in investigation, we reply on what is provided to us." said Trevino. The U.S. Consulate in Matamoros recently released a warning to American citizens traveling to or through the state of Tamaulipas, given recent reports of express kidnappings happening near commercial areas in broad daylight.

Son of 'El Chango Méndez' Captured In Apatzingán Posted: 09 Jan 2015 11:46 AM PST Translated by Valor for Borderland Beat Morelia, Michoacán— Jesús Méndez also known as ElChuchín, son of El Chango Méndez, is one of the 44 arrested in Apatzingán from the shootout that occurred on January 6, because of the removal of the mayor, which left nine dead.  During the investigations carried out by the Mexican Army to confirm the identities of those involved, they identified someone who had identified himself as Juan Mendoza Rosales; discovering that it was one of the sons of El Chango Méndez, founder of La Familia Michoacana. When questioned by federal forces, the son of El Chango Méndez accepted that he was the son of the founder of La Familia Michoacana.  The son was arrested within the vicinity of the City Hall of Apatzingán. It is worth noting that last May, a photo was circulating where El Chuchín appeared, along with Nicolás Sierra Santana, leader of the cartel of Los Viagras.  While the other son of El Chango Méndez, Eduardo Méndez, appears in another photo sitting on a couch after the "autodefensas" secured the house of El Tucán, a leader of the Caballeros Templarios.  It is also worth noting that El Chango Méndez is a compadre of El Mencho, founder and leader of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel, which operates in Jalisco.
