Mexican Kidnappers Torture Businessman, Keep Him in a Wooden Cage for 7 Months

Mexican businessman Eduardo Valseca was kidnapped, beaten, tortured and held in a wooden box for more than seven months. His captors taunted his family, demanding an unrealistic $8 million ransom for his return. Valesca’s unbelievable tale of pain and survival is mesmerizing.

Now, Valseca and his wife are working diligently to fight against organized crime. Below, watch the unbelievable tale and experience, first-hand, the family’s painful journey:

    Don‘t travel to Mexico it is not safe and that is because just about all of Mexico’s politicians are in the back pocket of one crime family or another. You can keep believing the crap this admin tells us on how safe the border is or know the truth it is not a priority for this admin.

It’s awful, it’s evil, and it’s closer than we realize. The darlings of the Left who are sneaking into this country are not all just poor immigrants looking for a better life for their children.

    Liberals like Obama and Napalintino will never move to the border. Because just as redistributing the wealth. They want to redistribute our wealth not theirs. They are safe because they have all these bodyguards around them all the time. A time will come when these bodyguards will not be there then they will be hollering just like us.

    Don’t blame the cartels-it’s YOUR fault. Do you smoke weed? sniff cocaine?Etc? Then you should be arrested and tried as an accessory to murder and kidnapping and then sent to jail in Mexico. If people want something and are willing to pay for it….then there WILL be someone to supply that “need”. Mexico was right to blame the U.S. for their drug problem.

    Kudos to this family who went through this horrendous act.Although I have never been kidnapped I have been robbed twice while at my business.The armed robber got away with it the first time because of no weapon policy.However the second robber was stopped by me because I had a weapon.When he got out of prison he killed his girlfriends young son and put him in a suitcase.North Carolina didn‘t put him on death row because they couldn’t find his body so he cut a deal and for a life sentence and told them where this child was.The point is I have to live with this fact that if I would have killed this POS like I should have this child would still be alive.This is my burden however I vowed never to be a victim again.Since I now am never more than a hairs reach from a firearm I won’t second guess again.God bless this family.

    This is a terrible story, but this is probably something that happens alot in Mexico. These thugs need to be stopped and a good place to start would be at our borders. The first thing we need to do is get a commander and chief that understands the ramifications of these illegals. The money we spend on illegals is ridiculous. I would rather take the money we spend on the illegals and spend it on patrols guarding the border. For this administration to lie and say everything is hunky dorey is outrageous.

      To be fair, the ATF program you are referring to began before Obama took office, in 2005. But I will join the “Throw Eric Holder Under The Bus Tour” and say that the AG willing participated and used plausible deniability to protect himself. Its unfortunate that ATF had to use that tactic to trace the flow of guns because of the risk and extreme certainty of the guns being used by the cartels. Piss poor judgement on the agency director who signed off on the operation.

      you are correct,“project gunrunner” was started in ‘05.however,as an article posted on the blaze and drudge pointed out,the gunrunners were apprehended before they,and the weapons,crossed the border.it wasn’t until holder became AG the weapons were allowed to cross the border.this was exposed by ATF agents who were outraged by the idea.the“supposed” objective was to determine who was receiving said weapons.who did they think were receiving the weapons,mexican pig farmers?-i think stevie wonder could see why the decision was made to let the weapons cross.it played very well into the “drug cartels are getting 90% of their arms from the u.s.” narrative.

      GET A GUN! Then get training how to use it. As a survivor of being attacked if I had had my CCW, there would have been no attack, only a dead body of my attacker. I live in a nice subdivision, I have an alarm system and two dogs (dogs are great to alert you of intruders, also passing cars, cats, etc :) and four loaded and locked guns placed throughout the house. I will not be a victim again. With this Radical Marxist Dictator intentionally NOT securing our borders Americans need to protect themselves. This regime is also trying to destroy our second Amendment rights, so buy a gun now before they make it illegal. Buy the gun from a private owner so this regime can’t trace it. So they can’t do what they did in New Orleans going door to door taking people guns. If the regime can’t prove you have one you are safer.

      We are gun owners and have been for many, many years. Personal safety, hunting, target shooting etc. But we’ve never aggresively urged others to get a gun – until now.

      The last few years have shown a marked increase in violence – on the streets, in our schools and more & more home invasions. Combined with the ever increasing assualts on our freedom by the government and the high probability of a complete breakdown of society we are strongly urging people to seriously consider owning guns.

      That said, we have always held the belief that gun ownership must go hand in hand with responsibility. No one should own a gun unless they have had proper instruction on safety and how to use one. And no one should own a gun unless they are fully prepared to use it. If you decide to own a gun, please get the training to go with it. And make sure you have no qualms about using it – in a desperate situation a moments hesitation can make all the difference.

He should be made to go to Arizona with his family without and body guards and live as close to the border as possible. I am sure some of the ranchers that can’t get any hellp from him now would be glad to lease him land.I bet Mooshell would love it and such a nice safe place for the girls to play.

      I used to travel to Mexico City and the towns across the Texas border all the time. I will not go over any more. Its way too dangerous. If we would just legalize drugs and punish the users when they hurt someone, this all would end quickly.

      There must be severe consequence for the drug users who harm others if it ever is legalized though. Like a DUI would be a mandatory 5 years. Giving drugs to a child would mean life in prison. You want to destroy your life…fine, but hurt someone else and the system ruins you. Simple…

      If we did that, it takes all the profit out of the drugs, it allows the user to use his own judgement to what drugs he wants to ruin his life with and it thins out the herd by killing off the weak drug users…tada!!

      This was absolutely horrible–I watched the full story elsewhere some time ago. Thing to note, though it does NOT make them responsible, the family IGNORED warning signs of increasing violence and chose to live in the area still. Especially her—she was blind to it. This doesn’t make it any less horrific, but just a note, being open minded doesn’t mean you ignore facts and avoid being labeled as discriminatory. Our abilitites to pre-judge (for our safety in particular) are being stripped and putting us at risk. This is why people are less likely to try and determine danger when walking down a street—god forbid they be labeled a racist. Mexico is a huge problem—if you had seen the whole story, this woman went through hell, the government claimed to try and help her and they were ALSO merely taking money from her and leaving her wide open for more attacks.
