When FBI agents knocked on Michelle William’s door on a Sunday to announce her husband had been kidnapped in Mexico, she thought it was a scam.
Ms Williams didn’t even know that her spouse Eric Williams had planned to go to Mexico. But as agents explained that Mr Williams and his life-long friends LaTavia “Tay” McGee, Zindell Brown and Shaeed Woodard were ambushed and kidnapped by armed men as they arrived in Matamoros on 3 March, “unreal” fear settled in.
