Thread: Mexican Cartel Linked to Kidnap of U.S.6 Year Old Boy UPDATE

Mexican Drug Cartel Liked to Kidnap of U.S. 6 Year Old Boy

Police say grandfather may be link to missing boy

LAS VEGAS (AP) -- Investigators say they are looking for the grandfather of kidnapped 6-year-old and hope he can lead them to the boy who was abducted from a Las Vegas home by men posing as police officers.

Police Capt. Vincent Cannito said Friday that Clemens Fred Tinnemeyer, 51, of Las Vegas, was a "person of interest" in the nationwide search for young Cole Puffinburger.

Cannito says authorities think the grandfather was involved in drug dealing with Mexican nationals and the boy's kidnapping was a "message."

Tinnemeyer was last seen in May and reported missing Sept. 11. He drives a 2004 white Dodge extended cab pickup truck with Mississippi license plates.

A nationwide Amber Alert remains in effect after two Hispanic men tied up the boy's mother and her boyfriend at their house Wednesday morning and abducted the boy.

You're a fool. How is that racist? It's a nationality.

Mexican drug cartels are one thing, they're despicable. Mexican immigrants are another, there could be good and bad people just like in any given group.

I think alamb's comment was made tongue in cheek.

RIVERSIDE – The grandfather of a kidnapped 6-year-old Nevada boy was arrested in Southern California after police named him a “person of interestâ€

Officials said Saturday that they are seeking a Mexican identified as Jesus Gastelum (hay-SOOS' gah-stuh-LOOM'). Police Sgt. Tom Wagner says he is believed to be in Las Vegas or Southern California.

Police also have someone else, other than the grandfather, in custody, but they did not identify that person.

You can see a picture of Jesus, the wanted man, at this link:
