The media operation to rescue four kidnapped Americans in Matamoros was bittersweet for parents like Lisa Torres, whose 21-year-old son Roberto Franco Jr. has been missing since 2017. "I'm very glad they found them, but my first emotion was feel really angry," she said.

Lisa Torres, mother of Roberto Franco Jr., a young man from Houston (Texas) who disappeared in 2017

He disappeared on the Mexican side of the border after traveling to Monterrey, the mediatic kidnapping in Matamoros has unleashed a storm of mixed feelings.

"I was at home when I first heard about the four Americans and I was deeply outraged. Don't get me wrong, I'm very glad they found them (...) But my first emotion was feeling really angry," Torres told News. Telemundo in a text message on Friday afternoon.

Torres said she has high blood pressure, but not even the medications she takes could help her after learning on TikTok of the four kidnapped Americans — two of whom were later killed and two rescued and returned to the United States.

The case resonated so much with her personal history that she suffered from tachycardia for two days.
