An American mum-of-seven has been kidnapped by masked men in Mexico with the FBI offering a reward for information.
The family of kidnapped Maria del Carmen Lopez, 63, say they have received a recording of her pleading they pay a ransom as her life depends on it.
It comes after authorities in Texas warned US citizens to not travel to Mexico during the spring break, due to high levels of criminal activity, and after the recent cases of deadly kidnapping of Americans in the country.
