Michigan grandparents imprisoned in Mexico timeshare dispute as daughter begs for their release

Michigan couple Christy and Paul Akeo have been detained in a Cancun, Mexico, prison for weeks over a timeshare dispute. Their daughter is begging for their release.

"The place they're at is a hellhole." "I believe the only person that would be able to release them to freedom is President Trump. We need his help. Big time."

"She doesn't have anything. You don't even get toilet paper in these places. So, it's just a very, very scary environment, from what she explained," Lindsey Lemke Hull, Christy Akeo’s daughter, told Fox News Digital of her mother. "I think she tends to keep a lot from my brother and I when we talk to her, just out of protection. … We are fearful for her … life, Paul's life, just because we don't know what's going to happen to them at any given time."
