U.S. authorities say three women haven’t been heard from since they traveled from Texas into Mexico two weeks ago.
. They were caught in a drug cartel shootout in the border city of Matamoros, and video showed them being hauled off in a pickup truck. The two survivors were found Tuesday in a wooden shack near the Gulf coast.
One of the women's husband spoke to her by phone while she was traveling in Mexico, the police chief said, but grew concerned when he couldn't reach her afterward. Bermea said the women were traveling in a green mid-1990s Chevy Silverado to a flea market in the city of Montemorelos, in Nuevo Leon state. It's about a three-hour drive from the border. Officials at the state prosecutor’s office said they have been investigating the women’s disappearance since Monday.
