COLUMBIA, S.C. — Two of four South Carolina natives kidnapped in Mexico were being treated in a Brownsville, Texas, hospital Tuesday, while State Department officials worked to have the remains of the two who were killed returned, officials say.
Barbara Burgess, the mother of LaTavia McGee, one of the survivors, told television station WMPE she had talked with her daughter, who was distraught but unharmed. She watched a family member die, Burgess said.
The other survivor, Eric Williams, was shot in a leg, the Mexican government reported.
