Mexican officials say they are investigating the reported disappearance of nine Colombian women in the Gulf coast state of Tabasco
MEXICO CITY -- Mexican officials said Saturday they are investigating the reported disappearance of nine Colombian women in the Gulf coast state of Tabasco.
The women were apparently working as escorts for a gang that retained their passports, and were sent to an event in the Tabasco city of Cardenas but did not return.
Juan Carlos Castillejo, the spokesman for Tabasco state, said a missing person report had been filed Friday, a week after the reported disappearances.
Castillejo wrote in his social media accounts that “there is no more information” on the women, but that state prosecutors would investigate the report.
Castillejo later told the XEVA radio station that the missing persons report had been filed by the Colombian consulate in Mexico. The Colombian embassy and consulate did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
