Mexico Daily News Brief September 23rd, 2016
Morelia Cardinal Alberto Suárez Inda reported that unknown aggressors kidnapped José Alfredo López Guillén, a priest in Michoacán.
He said the kidnapping occurred last Monday in the parish in Janamuato, in Puruándiro. The kidnapping occurred a week after two priests, Alejo Nabor Jiménez Juárez and José Alfredo Juárez de la Cruz, who were based in Papantla, Veracruz were killed.
Michoacán Governor Silvano Aureoles said that authorities are monitoring a cell phone to locate the priest.
In an interview, Aureoles said that López Guillén was last seen with a 16-year-old youth, they asked for food, and both disappeared.
++ The head of Command Control Center in Toluca, Mexico State, Miguel Ángel Zamora Piña, said the Attorney General’s Office and the Mexico State Attorney General’s Office have video images that could contain information connected to the abduction and murder of Spanish citizen María Villar Galaz.
They said the video tape was taken from cameras working in optimal conditions, so authorities could obtain information that could be helpful.
++ Attorney General Arely Gómez said that her office is willing and open to renew talks with the parents of the 43 missing Ayotzinapa students, suspended since August.
