The children and women were eventually released three days later, but the abductors kept five men. Forty-eight hours later, the Gulf Cartel contacted the members who had been released to start negotiating ransom. After several days of negotiation and three different ransom payments, the Cázares were called to deliver their final payment on July 27. They sent the money to the kidnappers and waited in a disclosed location for a white van the kidnappers had pledged to deliver their remaining family members. However, the van never arrived and the phone the kidnappers used to contact the Cázares went out of service. The family then decided to contact authorities and open the case. The Cázares men have been missing ever since. The mass kidnapping of the Cázares family stands out from other abduction cases in Mexico because all the eighteen victims were related. Among them were three U.S. citizens. The family has sent letters to officials in the lowest and highest levels of the Mexican government and has reached out to international heads of state for assistance on the case. The kidnapping is currently unsolved; the whereabouts of the five remaining abductees and the motives behind the kidnapping are officially unknown. Federal sources, however, agree that the kidnapping was masterminded by the top echelons of the Gulf Cartel."@en }
