DOUGLAS - Police say a 19-year-old Douglas man whose family reported that he was kidnapped over the weekend has been found slain in Agua Prieta, Mexico.

Douglas police say Alejandro "Alex" Abril was strangled and found in a vehicle with the bodies of a 15-year-old girl and a 17-year-old boy. Both were Mexican citizens.

Douglas police say Abril's family reported him missing on Saturday, saying he had been kidnapped from a popular Agua Prieta nightclub.

A police statement released on Wednesday says family members told officers that Abril may have had some ties to a drug and human smuggling organization. Douglas police say they only have sketchy details of the investigation now being conducted by Agua Prieta Municipal Police.
