“Sol Prendido” for Borderland Beat
Family members of a woman, who left the Dominican Republic for Mexico to reach the United States, received a video from kidnappers who are holding her.
The video shows Isabel Maria Ferrera, alias Mella, 31, being assaulted with a board by one of the kidnappers.
Ferrera in the middle of the short video says to do it slowly, but the kidnapper tells her that if her family doesn’t care about her, neither do they.
The woman is a native of Barahona. A large sum of money has been demanded for her ransom.
Male: If you don’t deposit that money right away you fool. I’ll fucking shoot her and bury her right here. I don’t give a fuck you fool. I need that fucking money within half an hour. If you don’t give it to me I’m going to kill her. You’ve been warned you dumb ass.
