RIO GRANDE VALLEY - Federal investigators are now monitoring the disappearance of five men last November.

FBI officials tell CHANNEL 5 NEWS until they can find proof of a crime, they cannot get involved in the case.

All five men were Americans who were traveling in Mexico. One of the men, Luis Manuel Hernandez, has family in the Valley.

His sister Estelle Hernandez says she's worried about her younger brother.

"Mi gran preoccupacion es el que esta muerte," she says.

Hernandez says she's asking for God's strength as she waits to know what happened to him.

Hernandez is just one of 113 Americans that have been reported missing in Mexico since 2003. One official says that number doesn't represent the actual number since many cases go unreported.
