Mexican authorities claim to have no information about the kidnapping of a U.S. citizen in the coastal state of Colima. This is in spite of the FBI-offered reward for information about her disappearance.
On Thursday, the FBI issued a press release offering a $20,000 reward for information about the whereabouts of 63-year-old Maria Del Carmen Lopez, a U.S.citizen who was kidnapped out of her house in Pueblo Nuevo, Colima.
