MONTERREY, Mexico (AP) -- Several police officers in northern Mexico allowed a violent drug gang to hold kidnap victims in the local jail while ransom payments were being negotiated, a state official said Thursday

A man and woman from San Diego, California, were detained and are in the custody of federal prosecutors, the statement said. It said neither was seriously injured.

I wonder how many Americans were/are in those jails and how many were among the bodies.
 
I've read articles and seen things on the news about missing people in Mexico but I've never heard any mention of a ransom for their safe return. Has anyone else read anything about this?
