On the morning we filed this story, Mexico’s attorney general confirmed that US agents had recently searched the ranch of the husband of the woman whose disappearance began our story.
The search, in the western Mexican state of Chiapas, occurred on November 6, the day the first information on the missing woman was released.
We are not reporting on the search on this story because we are not revealing the identity of the missing woman. We are simply reporting that the search happened.
We have been in contact with a lawyer for the missing woman. He says the search was a kidnapping, and that the Mexican authorities were concerned that the woman may be in danger inside the family ranch of her husband, who was detained by the Mexican authorities, according to The Associated Press.
And the attorney for the missing woman says she does not know whether she is with her abductors or with another person.
For whatever reason, the authorities decided to search the ranch on November 6 after the disappearance of the missing woman.
We received this news Wednesday afternoon, as we were interviewing the attorneys on our story.
As we reported on Tuesday, the missing woman, whose husband is with the U.S. Marshals Service, is believed to be a Mexican national. She and her husband have moved their family to the southern state of Campeche, where her husband is working.
Authorities on both sides of the U.S./Mexican border are looking for the woman and the missing husband.
The U.S. Marshals Service has confirmed that the missing woman is Jennifer Lee Macias. A spokesman for the U.S. Marshals Service confirmed the missing woman is a U.S. citizen, but would not confirm her national origin.
The woman was reported missing on the morning of November
