MCALLEN - A professor from Monterrey on his way to McAllen on Thursday morning is sitting in a police station somewhere in between the two cities. He was ambushed, possibly by drug cartels.

The professor was coming to McAllen to speak at the sex trafficking conference at South Texas College. Here is the email he sent organizers Thursday, "I have very sad news. We were totally robbed and looted everything, including our car. The good thing is that we are safe and alive. I am nervous and do not know how to react, maybe later I will write you in detail.â€
