Relatives reported the disappearance of Elmer Agustín Pulido Montalvo, a social leader and coordinator of general services in the Tuxtepec city council and maintain that authorities from both states refuse to issue the search form.
Sources close to the case informed this media that the disappearance occurred yesterday Monday and stated that during the last hours the search actions have “bogged down” because it is presumed to have occurred on the border between Oaxaca and Veracruz, in the community of San Antonio Texas, a demarcation on the banks of the Papaloapan River opposite the Oaxacan side, but which belongs to the neighboring state.
According to the local report, Pulido Montalvo was deprived of his liberty in Cosamaloapan, at his home, when alleged armed men took him in a black suburban and crossed the border into Oaxaca.
