(Radio Iowa) - Iowa's United States Senators are asking the U-S Ambassador to Mexico for regular updates on an Iowa woman who went missing in Mexico nearly a month ago.
The family of 51-year-old Chris Leguisano of Des Moines reported her missing on August 8th and they believe she was kidnapped in Reynosa, a city that's less than four miles from the border crossing at Hidalgo, Texas. Iowa Senators Joni Ernst and Chuck Grassley say the U-S cannot and will not tolerate the assault of its citizens while traveling abroad -- and they're asking federal officials for a briefing on her case.
Leguisano's son told Channel 5 T-V in Des Moines that his mother was delivering a truck to her ex-brother-in-law when she was kidnapped and he's been getting threatening messages asking for money.
