  1. I am sorry that this woman is missing and I hope she is found and safe. However, Why is the FBI involved in this issue??? I mean, she went on vacation! Does the FBI get involved every time someone goes out of the country on vacation?? Our government has warned Americans about the current dangers of travelling in Mexico. Despite the warnings, she still chose to go. Her family should be the ones offering the $40,000, not our taxpayers! Our government should not be involved!!!๐Ÿ˜ฎ๐Ÿ˜ฎ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

  2. HAPPENDS ALL DAY IN REAL LIFE!!!

  3. May they find her in Jesus Christ name amen ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿฝ Itโ€™s just safer to stay out of Mexico and other countries. Dam

  4. Prayers from Gilroy shes found safe๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ•ฏ๏ธ

  5. People need to stop going to these third world countries.

  6. Respect,whatโ€™s going on n seems like every week someone is killed or kidnapped

  7. Stop going to that forsaken place…it is better to nuke Mexico and rid the world of them

  8. Quit going to Mexico… Pay attention to the government no go lists.

  9. I never understand why people think going to 3rd world countries is a good idea

  10. The more news you cover of thugs in Mexico, the more power they think they have. Mexico is a toilet, this news coverage is hope for control to cartels and gangs.

  11. It is not the entire country, just the north. Mexico City is quite safe. I hope this womean will re-emerge. Prayers for her and her family.

  12. I stopped traveling to mexico years ago. Visiting mexico is another form of suicide now๐Ÿค” and the mexican president is a deceptive snake, who is useless. Look at what the Salvadorian president did..he took decisive action and put an end to the ms 13 criminals. Follow the example mexico..

  13. any reason? just because? am i missing something?

  14. $40k is nothing to them. Fake offer US citizenship then arrest.

  15. Kidnapping is a regular biz down there, and the cops are often in on it. Do yourself a solid and don't vacay in Mexico or Haiti.

  16. I wouldn't set foot there vacation resort or not

  17. I hope there is a good out come to this. Mexico is not a safe place to be.

  18. Do not go to Mexico, as much as I like to go some fiends advice me not to go,same in Haiti

  19. I hope she is alive

  20. Boycott ALL transactions with Mexico until their government fixes their GD country!

  21. The brother said this donโ€™t happen in real life. He clearly didnโ€™t go to school and learned about SLAVERY where your kind kidnapped coloured people to do all their work.

  22. Obviously, she wasn't smart for going when there was a no travel advisory.

  23. Are those the proper pronouns?

  24. Democrats using the doj to attack their political opponents. They are traitors to this country…

  25. Enter Mexico at your own risk. Don't expect the FBI to come rescue you๐Ÿ™„๐Ÿ˜‘ STOP being dumb

  26. We must create the North American UNION while disbanding White Supremacist NATO and revising the FBI & CIA to prevent secret U.K.-E.U.-based White Supremacy agendas from being carried out by corrupt double agents in the FBI & CIA.

  27. Liberals r so br41nd3d lol

  28. I can't feel bad when Americans go to places like Mexico and Russia right now. Get a fn clue and stay tf out!

  29. That's a maAn baby!. ๐Ÿ‘Š๐Ÿผ *badoof*. Oops

  30. My dad is from Mexico the last time I stepped foot in Mexico was at least 10 years ago And as much as I want to go back and visit I probably would not go I value my life more than just going to a location to take pictures for social media

  31. Why in the Bleep bleppity bleep bleep are Americans STILL going to Mexico!!! At this point, some of yall asking for it!

  32. Anyone that traviling outside of the usa right now is a special kinda stupid to much turmoil all over

  33. โ›“๏ธ๐Ÿชš

  34. That hope part is probably just hope to even have a funeral ๐Ÿ˜ข

  35. If she black and went to Mexico to buy drugs. This be national news
