unfortunately there are pacts made between countries when it comes to arrest and extradition and mexico is a very difficult country to get to comply with the U.S. in these situations. im sure the police depts are doing everything in their power but they cant do much if mexico wont cooperate. its extremely sad. this woman and her family deserve justice and closure and i pray that they get it... even if it takes years! remember ... KARMA WILL REACH HIM and judgement day WILL come!! peace to jessica and the family, my thoughts are with you all.
